Your Guide to the Perfect Artificial Christmas Tree
The Benefits of an Artificial Christmas Tree at Home
More and more Dutch families are choosing an artificial Christmas tree. No surprise: it stays beautiful for years, is easy to set up, and requires no maintenance. While a real tree sheds needles, the artificial version keeps its shape. Thanks to the latest technology, with realistic branches and a full silhouette, you can create just as warm a Christmas atmosphere as with a natural tree.
Which Style of Artificial Christmas Tree Suits You?
Artificial Christmas trees come in many variations, so you’ll always find one that matches your interior:
- Green artificial Christmas tree – a timeless classic that stays true to the traditional image of Christmas.
- Frosted Christmas tree – perfect for a wintry or Scandinavian look.
- LED Christmas tree – fitted with built-in lights for extra convenience.
- Frosted LED Christmas tree – combines the magic of snow with modern lighting.
- Mini Christmas trees – a charming detail for a festive table, children’s room, or desk.
For those who love sleek and minimalist design, a wooden Christmas tree can also be a stylish alternative.
Complete Your Decoration with Artificial Greenery
An artificial Christmas tree is the centerpiece of the holidays, but you can enhance the atmosphere with additional accents:
- Artificial wreaths look beautiful on the front door or against a wall. You can customize them with Christmas baubles, ribbons, or fairy lights.
- Artificial garlands are perfect for a staircase, mantelpiece, or sideboard and bring harmony to your Christmas decoration.
Choosing the Right Size for Your Christmas Tree
The height of the tree determines the impact in the room:
- Small models (120 cm) are ideal for compact spaces or as extra decoration.
- Medium trees (150–180 cm) fit perfectly in a family living room.
- Large models (210–240 cm) create a majestic effect in a spacious living room.
💡 Tip: always leave 30–50 cm between the top of the tree and the ceiling to place a star or tree topper.
How to Decorate an Artificial Christmas Tree
Decorating an artificial Christmas tree is a step-by-step process. Start with the fairy lights, then add Christmas baubles and ornaments. Choose one color palette: traditional red & gold, modern white & silver, or a trendy mix like blue & copper.
Frosted or pre-lit models often need little extra. Don’t forget to finish the base with a tree skirt to stylishly hide the stand.
Today, the artificial Christmas tree is not only practical but also a stylish centerpiece. Whether you choose a classic model, a frosted version, or a compact mini tree, combined with artificial wreaths and artificial garlands you can create a warm and festive atmosphere throughout your home.
✨ The artificial Christmas tree is the ideal solution for a magical, practical, and sustainable Christmas.
