A Christmas tree is always the main thing for holiday decor, it’s your centerpiece but sadly not all of us have enough room for a full-size tree. In such a case you can rock a small or a tabletop one, which can be a nice additional tree, too. Here are some ideas of such trees and ways to decorate them.

Consider The Style Of The Room

First of all, consider the style of the room, and then choose a container, a planter, a bucket, a basket or any other base or tree base cover that matches. Then take a look at the tabletop trees that are available, and these can be any trees – natural or faux ones, alternative ones made of various materials. No tree at hand? Make one! It can be made of moss, vine, books, cardboard, beads and many other things that come to your mind.

How To Decorate Your Tree

How will you decorate your tree? The idea is pretty simple: right in the same way as you would decorate a full-size tree, just mind the size of the ornaments – they should coordinate with the size of the tree. On the other hand, oversized Christmas ornaments are a trend that can fit a modern or contemporary space, so large scale decor will do, too. Don’t overdo the decor as it will make your little tree look even smaller. A tree topper is optional – it will make your tree look smaller, and lights are preferable, they will make it more festive and it will look bigger.

Consider Creative Alternatives

If you have a vintage or retro space, a natural or a tinsel tree with lots of retro or vintage ornaments will do. Have a contemporary or minimalist space? Then a couple of white ornaments, stars or just lights and nothing else are your choice. A Scandi space can be accented with a minimalist or a bright red and white tree, a glam space will look amazing with a rich dressed tree with faux blooms, a rustic space can be complemented with a rustic tree wrapped with burlap ribbons and with wooden ornaments. Looking for an alternative Christmas tree? Then make one of the look and materials that match your style! Merry Christmas!
