Need an additional Christmas tree for another room? Looking for a tree centerpiece for your table? Or maybe you don’t have much space for a large Christmas tree? It’s not a problem as a small Christmas tree will give you no less joy and fun than a larger one. Even a tabletop Christmas tree is a great decor idea, and it may have no less impact than a large one. How to decorate a small Christmas tree to avoid too much looks and make your space more stylish with a tree and not on the contrary? Here are some ideas you may use.
No Decor/ Lights
Small trees are popular to rock with literally no decor, you may just place your tree into a cool basket – a usual or a metal wire one. Such a solution is perfect for modern and minimalist spaces. Put faux fur or cotton into your basket to imitate fluffy snow, and voila! Another idea is to put your tree into a vintage crate or a wooden box filled with ornaments – so you will be able to decorate your tree with them whenever you want. If your tree is flocked, it also doesn’t require any decor, it’s cool itself. If you think that a naked tree is too bare, add pinecones or lights to make the tree brighter.

Neutral Decor
Neutral modern decor is a very popular option not only for small but also for large trees. Rock all-white ornaments for a modern or Scandinavian feel, mix off-whites and greys or pearly shades. The ornaments can be made of glass, plastic, pompoms, clay, cardboard and much more! Pompoms can be large or small or both, and the same can be done with other ornaments. As for containers, try baskets and boxes of various kinds, or even grab a vintage urn and use it to cover the base.
