How to Decorate with Mini Trees for Christmas

|

How to decorate with mini trees for Christmas for an easy way to add a festive touch and character to your home.

I love to decorate with mini trees for Christmas because they’re just so versatile.  They come in different shapes, sizes and styles and are a great bang for your buck because you can move them around year to year for different looks and if you store them properly, they last a long time. 

Where can you put a mini tree? 

Add a mini Christmas tree to any room in your home. Use one by itself of put them in a group. Place them on your mantel, dining table or in your entryway. Add them to your buffet or any shelf as long as it’s proportionate to the rest of the vignette. They make a great alternative and creative Christmas tree for small spaces.

They are also a great way to add a holiday touch to your kitchen counter.

Decorating ideas for mini Christmas trees.

The beauty of decorating with tabletop trees is that you don’t have to add embellishments if you don’t want to because they are pretty just the way they are. You can decorate your mini Christmas tree with lights or without, add ornaments and ribbon the same way you would a large tree. You can even find mini Christmas tree decorating sets.  Some come already decorated for you.

This is where you can really get creative. There are so many things you can use as a “tree skirt” or holder for a tabletop tree.

Put a mini Christmas tree in a plain pot or embellish some like I did in this Christmas centerpiece.

I hope I got your creative juices flowing! Decorated or natural, tabletop or mini trees can add so much character to your Christmas decor. Think outside the box and use something unique to display them for your own personal touch.

Happy Holiday decorating!

  1. On the photo with the tree in the small drawer, there are large numbers on the wall of the staircase. What are those made of? Any information you can give me about them?

    1. Hi Mary,

      I got those from Antique Farm House quite a few years ago. They are made of metal. Thanks for following along!
