Comprehensive Manual to Sizing Christmas Trees

Determining the Height and Width of an Artificial Christmas Tree

When choosing an artificial Christmas tree, it’s important to consider the height and width that will fit your space. There are three widths to choose from: full, slim, or pencil, and the height range goes from tabletop size to about 12 feet in half-foot increments. Measure the area where you want the tree and make sure you have enough room to move around it for decorating. To leave space for a tree topper, allow at least 6 inches between the ceiling and the top of the tree. If you have limited space, a narrow or slim tree is best, while a full-size tree works for bigger spaces. A flat-back tree is also an option if you want it to sit closer to the wall. Knowing the height and width that work for your space will help you choose the perfect artificial Christmas tree for your home.

Select the Shape of the Artificial Tree

When choosing an artificial Christmas tree shape, you need to consider what you want and what will fit in your space. Some options come in thin and sharp shapes, which may not look realistic, but if you have specific preferences or limited space, they could work for you. Alternatively, you can choose larger and more natural-looking shapes that resemble trees from a Christmas tree farm. It’s important to assess your needs and tastes before making your selection. To ensure the right choice, examine the size of your space, the height of your ceiling, and the environment you want to create. If you desire a more traditional look, you may prefer a fuller and bigger tree, but if you prefer something modern and compact, a pencil-thin tree might be more suitable. Ultimately, it’s best to choose a shape that aligns with your vision and is practical for your space.

Full

As someone who has experience with both real and artificial Christmas trees, I highly recommend opting for a full artificial tree. The reason for this is that the fullness of the foliage and the strength of the branches make it the perfect canvas for showcasing your ornaments. Not only does a full tree provide ample surface area for hanging decorations, but it also creates a stunning visual centerpiece for your holiday decor.

 

Slim

Slim trees have a narrow profile and require less floor space compared to full or medium-sized trees. They can fit into tight corners, small rooms, or areas with limited walking space, making them perfect for apartments, small houses, or as a second tree in a larger home.

Flatback

Flatback unique trees are designed to appear as a full tree from the front, but are flat on the back, allowing them to be placed against a wall or in a corner. This makes them ideal for smaller homes, apartments, or any area with limited space.

 

Sparse

Sparse Christmas trees are designed with fewer branches and more space between them, mimicking the look of a tree from the wild. Sparse trees can bring a touch of natural charm to your holiday decor, offering a distinct alternative to the traditional full-bodied Christmas tree.

 

Wide

The process to install lights on a tree can be influenced by the width of the tree, which in turn can significantly impact the overall aesthetic and ambiance of your area. Wide trees often exude a more traditional and lush vibe, replicating the fullness of a genuine, mature tree. They occupy space effectively and can serve as a centerpiece in your room. However, they also consume more room, which may not be perfect for smaller spaces or rooms with limited area. Hence, it’s crucial to measure your intended space before investing in a wide artificial tree to ensure it fits appropriately

 

Ponder Over the Species of the Christmas tree

It comes in three pieces and includes a stand for convenient display. As for the question of “Spruce,” this tree is an excellent alternative as it provides the look and feel of a spruce tree without the drawbacks.

Are lights necessary? Yes or No

Lights on a Christmas tree: are they necessary? Absolutely. But deciding whether to go for a pre-lit tree involves considering the added cost. While pre-lit trees may be pricier, they save you time and stress during decoration. No worries about untangling lights after hauling boxes from the basement.

Now, if you choose a pre-lit tree, consider the type of lights. You have two options: incandescent or LED lights. LED lights use less electricity and generate less heat than incandescent bulbs, making them a more efficient choice. Although incandescent lights are more cost-effective upfront, in the long run, LED lights prove to be the smarter choice. So, when it comes to pre-lit trees, investing in LED lights is the way to go.

What Additional Factors Should Influence My Christmas Tree Purchase?

Considering a Christmas tree purchase? Here’s what else you should factor in:
– Start by assessing the size and fit of the tree in your space.
– Take note of the needle composition – opt for a tree with realistic or artificial-looking needles.
– Decide on the type of lights and any special set-up features you desire.
– Keep your budget in mind as prices can vary based on these factors.

Cost Spectrum

When considering an artificial tree, there are a few key factors to keep in mind. First, think about the size of the tree that fits your space. Secondly, consider the type of needles you prefer. Additionally, take into account the various lighting options available and the ease of setting it up. These factors can impact the prices of artificial trees, which may be slightly higher compared to real trees. However, artificial trees offer the advantage of lasting season after season, making them a cost-effective and convenient choice.

Principal Ornaments

The sturdiness and flexibility of the branches are key when supporting ornaments of various sizes and weights. Consider your decoration plan – layer different ornaments, incorporate ribbons, and fill gaps with picks.

Christmas Tree Crowns

For Christmas tree crowns, ensure a minimum clearance of 6 inches between the topper and the ceiling. Our trees have a strong top branch tip for securely affixing your topper.

Christmas Tree Skirts, Collars, & Stands

Christmas tree skirts, collars, and stands provide practical and aesthetic solutions for enhancing your tree’s appearance. When choosing a tree skirt, opt for one that is wider than the tree itself. This will effectively conceal the stand and extend beyond the base’s diameter. Consider exploring options such as tree collars or decorative stands as alternatives. Tree collars securely encircle the base, while decorative stands not only offer support but also serve as a substitute for the traditional base.

 

Care & Storage

Care & Storage guidelines for your tree: To ensure your tree remains in impeccable condition, store it in a cool and dry spot. We highly recommend utilizing storage bags to shield your tree from dust and other elements.
