A Christmas tree is the symbol of the holiday, it’s the main decoration and a must that really creates an ambience and raises the spirits, whatever it looks like. I can’t imagine a Christmas without a tree and I always put up one but some of us don’t have enough space for a real large tree but still don’t feel like alternatives on the wall. What to do? There’s a solution: a slim or pencil Christmas tree!

What Is A Slim Christmas Tree?

A slim or pencil Christmas tree is a tall (it’s no less taller than usual large trees) and slim piece that looks the same as traditional ones but is thinner. That makes it a perfect fit for small spaces and nooks, a great additional tree or small porch decoration.

Where To Place A Slim Christmas Tree?

A slim Christmas tree is a great piece for a small living room or a big one if you need several trees. It’s ideal to create a trendy tree cluster as such a cluster will have an impact but won’t take much space. You can place it between the chairs in the living room, in a corner by the window and not only. In the entryway you can place it in the corner at the door to create a mood upon entering. You can divide your open layout using such trees, for example, put it between the kitchen and dining room. A slim Christmas tree is a perfect choice for a kid’s room, playroom or nursery due to the little space it takes. You can put it on the staircase if you have some space there, or even line up your front door with such trees.
