Grab one of these space-saving trees for less this Cyber Monday
When it comes to decorating our home, space (or rather lack of) is one obstacle we often have to face, and it's no different when it comes to decking out our homes for the festive season. And in most cases, the Christmas tree is the biggest piece of Christmas decor that we bring into our homes. So what's the solution? A slim Christmas tree, of course.
When you're limited on space, a small Christmas tree is ideal to prop up on a table, but if width is the real issue here, choosing a slimline or even a pencil Christmas tree is an ideal space-saver. The (sometimes controversial but equally clever) half-Christmas tree is another solution, as it can be positioned in a corner against a wall to save on space.
But which option is best for you and your space? Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about adding a slim Christmas tree to your holiday setup.
As you might expect, slim Christmas trees have a smaller diameter at the base than a traditional Christmas tree. Depending on how tight the space or corner is that you plan on putting your tree, you might need to measure this before you start shopping, just to avoid any disappointment and the tree still being a bit too big.
However, just because you're opting for a slimmer design doesn't mean that you need to sacrifice on height. That's one of the things that we love most about slim Christmas trees – they still manage to look full and magical even though they're that bit narrower.
Anywhere with limited floor space can benefit from a slim Christmas tree. Whether that's in a corner of your dining room, behind your sofa or in an entryway, slim Christmas trees are also ideal if you're keen to have a second tree in the home. John Lewis recently revealed that 27 per cent of Brits have a main tree for their presents, alongside a secondary 'show tree' for the hallway or home office.
To help you find the right tree for your space, we've included a selection of the best slim Christmas trees to suit a range of budgets.
