It's the upgrade your Christmas tree has been waiting for
Christmas tree skirts are set to be one of the biggest decorating trends of 2026. Once you’ve wrapped the lights around your tree and hung the baubles, finish the look by decorating its base with a stylish tree skirt.
From classic woven designs to playful tinsel styles, tree skirts are an easy way to hide the stand, anchor your tree and create a more polished festive display. Some cover the foot of the tree, while others sit around the base like a decorative rug.
This year, Very’s £30 layered tinsel skirt has caught our eye. Playful, dazzling and wonderfully joyful, it taps into one of 2026’s biggest Christmas decorating trends: kitsch maximalism. From novelty baubles and poppy colours to OTT tree skirts, kitsch maximalism celebrates the fun, flamboyant side of Christmas.
Whether you prefer a classic woven design or something more playful, we’ve rounded up the best tree skirts to finish your festive display.
Did someone say maximalism? This layered tinsel skirt is perfect for those looking to go all out this Christmas.
