Start with the tree. It sets the tone for the whole scheme, cosy and traditional, snowy and serene, or modern and minimal. Below are the key styles and top tips to help you choose.

How to Choose the Right Christmas Tree Height & Shape

• Ceiling height guide: Leave at least 15–30cm (6–12 inches) clearance for a topper. For standard 2.4m (8ft) ceilings, a 7–7.5ft tree fits beautifully. Taller rooms (3–4.5m) can carry 9–12ft. Grand spaces and halls can wow with 12–15ft Chrsitmas trees. 
• Tree shapes:
  • Full: Classic silhouette, great for larger rooms.
  • Slim: Space-savvy and elegant; ideal for apartments, kitchens, and tight corners.
  • Pencil: Ultra-compact footprint for hallways and dining nooks.
• Branch/needle type: True needle (PE) foliage tips that look hyper-real and pair brilliantly with classic needles (PVC) for volume. Many trees blend both for realism and fullness.
• Lighting: Pre-lit (LED) saves time; check for warm white vs. multi-colour modes and built-in timers.
• Storage & setup: Hinged branches and a robust metal stand make assembly fuss-free. Consider a storage bag to keep branches pristine year to year.

Slim Spruce Christmas Trees

Why you’ll love it: The slim spruce is tailored for tighter spaces without sacrificing height or drama—perfect by kitchen patio doors or in a cosy lounge corner.

• Look & feel: Gracefully narrow profile with layered, upward-swept branches for easy ornament hanging.
• Best for: Apartments, open-plan kitchens, hallways, dining spaces, secondary trees in bedrooms or guest rooms.
• Pro tip: Use shatter-resistant baubles and lightweight ornaments to keep the silhouette tidy and balanced.

Fir Christmas Trees with Pine Cones

Why you’ll love it: Built-in pine cones add instant texture and a woodland vibe—less decorating needed for a natural, Nordic look.

• Look & feel: Fir-style needles with varied tip lengths, scattered cones, and a realistic forest green tone.
• Best for: Traditional themes, rustic kitchens, country homes, and minimal decorators.
• Style it: Pair with berry picks, burlap ribbon, and warm white LEDs for a fireside glow.

Flocked Christmas Trees

Why you’ll love it: That just-snowed look brings instant winter magic—no weather forecast for snow required!

• Look & feel: Snow-dusted branches from light frost to heavy snowfall.
• Best for: Winter-white themes, silver and champagne palettes, Scandi minimal schemes.
• Good to know: Allow branches to settle after assembly; minimal shedding is normal on first setup. Opt for lighter ornaments to keep snowy tips pristine.

Pre Lit Trees with LEDs 

Why you’ll love it: Evenly spaced LEDs means your tree is perfectly lit in minutes. Many include multiple light modes and memory functions.

• Benefits: Faster setup, fewer cables, consistent glow.
• Lighting choices: Warm white for cosy; cool white for crisp modern; multi-colour for playful family rooms.
• Must-checks: LED count (more lights = fuller sparkle), replaceable/low-voltage LEDs, indoor safety certification.

Frosted Twig Trees

Why you’ll love it: Minimalist branches with a frosted finish bring chic, sculptural elegance. Stunning as a second tree in a dining area, kitchen, or hallway.

• Look & feel: Sleek silhouette; showcases delicate ornaments and glass baubles beautifully.
• Best for: Modern interiors, small spaces, and curated, design-led schemes.
• Styling tip: Keep décor tonal (whites, silvers, soft golds) and let the structure shine.

Quick Christmas Tree Size Guide (At-a-Glance)

• 4–5ft: Kids’ rooms, kitchens, countertops, bay windows.
• 6–7ft: Most lounges and dining rooms; classic choice for 2.3–2.5m ceilings.
• 8–9ft: Open-plan spaces and vaulted areas; statement in entrance halls.
• 10–12ft: Galleried landings and double-height rooms.
• 13–15ft: Dramatic commercial or grand residential spaces.

Bring the magic curbside with family-friendly inflatables with lighting that holds up to the elements. Mix one showpiece with a few supporting accents for a balanced look.

Christmas Inflatables: Santas, Snowmen, Candy Canes & More

• What to look for:
  • Size & scale: Measure your lawn or porch. A 4–6ft inflatable suits small gardens; 8–12ft becomes the neighbourhood landmark.
  • Fan & inflation: Continuous fan models stay crisp; check wattage for performance in colder weather.
  • Tie-downs & stakes: Essential for windy conditions; ensure you use all included anchor points.
  • Lighting: Internal LEDs ensure visibility after dark; multi-LED designs illuminate taller characters evenly.
  • Storage: Deflates compactly; store dry to prevent mould.
• Theme ideas: A jolly Santa by the door, snowman family on the lawn, candy cane walkway, and a “Santa Stop Here” sign near the driveway for kid-approved magic!

Outdoor Twig Trees

Sleek and contemporary, outdoor twig trees add height, structure, and sparkle without visual clutter. Outdoor Twig Christmas Trees are great for framing doorways or lining paths.

• Choose: Frosted or plain branches, warm or cool LEDs, and heights from compact 4ft to statuesque 10–12ft.
• Placement: Pair two either side of the entrance, cluster in threes for impact, or stagger along a fence line.
• Practicalities: Look for outdoor-rated (weather-resistant) construction and weighted bases or ground stakes.

Outdoor Power & Safety Checklist

• Weather rating: Ensure décor is specified for outdoor use; check connectors and seals.
• Power: Use outdoor-rated extension leads and protected sockets; avoid cable trip hazards.
• Timers: Plug-in timers or smart plugs save energy. Simply set and forget!
• Layout: Map distances before you buy to avoid short cables or overloading a single outlet.
