Artificial Christmas Trees: Choosing the Best Type to Decorate

Christmas trees are a beloved symbol of the holiday season that bring joy and warmth to homes across the globe. World Market offers a wide variety of faux Christmas trees for every decorating style and spaces of all sizes.

Types of Artificial Christmas Trees

There are several types of artificial Christmas trees to consider:

• Pre-Lit Trees: These fake trees are pre-strung with Xmas lights so you don't have to install them yourself.
• Unlit Trees: Unlighted trees give you the freedom to install your favorite string lights.
• Flocked Trees: Flocking creates the look of freshly fallen snow. Pre-flocked evergreen trees are perfect for a winter-wonderland theme.
• Tinsel Trees: These unique trees use the shiny, metallic finish of tinsel to create a retro holiday look.
• Colored Trees: These holiday centerpieces feature faux pine needles in pink, blue and other unconventional colors to match your home decor or stand out in style.

Choosing the Right Artificial Christmas Tree

There are three factors to consider before choosing your Christmas tree:

• Size: Will it fit? Measure your space to ensure your tree will fit comfortably.
• Type: Decide if a pre-lit, unlit, flocked, faux pine, tinsel or colored tree is right for your Christmas home.
• Style: Finally, select a tree that matches your Christmas decor style. Will a rustic artificial tree suit your holiday theme or is a modern pencil-pine tree more on point?

Decorating Your Christmas Tree

Decorating a Christmas tree is a cherished holiday tradition. Here are some tips we've learned:

• Choose a Color Scheme: Deciding on a color palette before you start makes it easier to pick the right decorations.
• Balance Your Ornaments: Distributing your ornaments evenly ensures your tree looks great from every angle.
• Light Placement: We recommend starting at the base of your tree and working your way up and around, weaving lights through branches for a harmonious look.

Frequently Asked Questions
