Nothing ushers in the magic of the season like a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Ace Hardware carries a large assortment of stunning artificial Christmas trees to help you celebrate the holidays in style.
Benefits of Artificial Christmas Trees
A Christmas tree is a tradition that brings the family together and marks the beginning of the season. If avoiding the maintenance and cleanup associated with a live tree is a top priority, a reusable Christmas tree makes a great alternative. Another benefit? They don't shed needles or pose a problem for people with allergies.
Many of today's indoor and outdoor artificial Christmas trees feature realistic details that mimic the look and feel of real trees. They’re also popular for their easy set up. What’s more, once you find one you love, you can store it away after the holidays and conveniently unbox it again next year.
Which Christmas Tree Should You Get?
Artificial trees come in many different sizes and shapes, with lots of features including a pre-built Christmas tree stand and incorporated decorations. Selecting the right Christmas tree for you will largely depend on your sense of style, the size of your space and the height of your ceiling.
Keep the following factors in mind when shopping for a new indoor or outdoor Christmas tree.
Christmas Tree Styles
Artificial Christmas trees come in an array of styles to suit your holiday décor. When exploring different Christmas tree styles, consider options such as:
- Pre-lit Christmas trees with white lights: Ready for display, classic pre-lit Christmas trees offer easy setup and cleanup and help you avoid the hassle of tangled lights.
- Multicolored Christmas trees: Color-changing Christmas trees allow you to enjoy a decorative piece that will shine and sparkle while adding brilliant pops of color.
- Pencil Christmas trees: These slim trees are perfect for small spaces, making wonderful additions to apartments or smaller rooms throughout your home.
- Outdoor Christmas trees: made with weather-resistant materials, these trees are perfect for your yard or porch. Look for light up options and different styles.
- Flocked Christmas trees: With branches covered in snow-like material, these classic white Christmas trees bring a wintry feel to your décor and make ornaments stand out.
You can further stylize your pick with a Christmas tree skirt and additional festive lights and decorations to get your tree’s look just right. Hang vibrant wreaths and garlands nearby to fill the space around your tree with the holiday spirit!
Tree Height and Room Size
Full-size artificial Christmas trees range in height but can reach over 9 feet to accommodate any ceiling height. If space is limited, a small Christmas tree just a few feet tall might offer a more appropriate fit.
When measuring your space to determine an appropriate height, a good rule of thumb is to leave at least 6 inches between the ceiling and the top of the tree. Don't forget to include the height of a tree topper, tree stand and other Christmas tree decorations in your calculations, too.
How to Fluff a Christmas Tree
Fluffing an artificial Christmas tree means arranging and spreading the branches to make it look fuller and more natural. Here are a few tips:
- Start at the bottom, working your way up to ensure each section is fluffed.
- Separate branches by gently fulling each apart.
- Adjust individual tips to point in different direction to convey a natural appearance.
