Our Short List of Christmas Trees for Small Spaces

Small Christmas trees have become a big part of holiday decor. From tiny tabletop trees to slim styles for a narrow niche, there’s an artificial Christmas tree to fit any little area.

Aside from space considerations, however, a small Christmas tree is a decorative element that can infuse holiday style throughout the home. When used as the primary Christmas tree, a small tree can suit a minimalist aesthetic, or serve as a secondary Christmas tree to add flair to a foyer, table or neglected corner.

If you’re considering adding a small or narrow Christmas tree to your holiday decorations this year, take a peek at our “short list” of the best Christmas trees for small spaces.

Our petite and full-size slim Christmas trees can help you tackle challenging spots – or find the perfect little tree for whatever space needs a special touch.

Scruffy, poorly decorated mini Christmas trees were once the domain of the doctor’s office desk.

But times have changed. Small artificial Christmas trees now come in many attractive styles – and some are quite lifelike.

Christmas trees two to three feet tall can complement the main Christmas tree and enhance holiday decor throughout the home.

A short Christmas tree is versatile enough to be displayed on a dresser, dining table, credenza, kitchen counter or fireplace mantel. In addition, a mini Christmas tree can be moved from room to room for greater impact when entertaining.

An undecorated or lightly decorated small tree set indoors conveys the serenity of a winter woods. It harmonizes with centerpieces, garland and other evergreen decorations and subtly suggests a holiday atmosphere.

Here are three small Christmas trees we’re highlighting for their good looks and overall value.

A little Christmas tree four to five feet tall makes a charming centerpiece in an apartment or other space-challenged area. Easy to set up and decorate, small trees provide a cozy Christmas feeling without invading prime seating space.

A small, artificial Christmas tree is typically lighter in weight, easier to set up and more manageable to move, especially for people with mobility issues or who live alone. Plus, the compact size makes it easier to store – a bonus feature in small homes and apartments.

Just like the larger varieties, small trees come unlit or with a choice of lighting options, including LED and incandescent lights.

Short Christmas trees also look great in groupings, entryways and areas where a full-sized Christmas tree would be overwhelming. Look for modestly-sized potted Christmas trees suitable for use outside on the porch, to line the walkway or flank the front door.

Skinny Christmas trees are often described as having a “pencil” or “slim” profile, but the two terms are not interchangeable. A pencil Christmas tree is ultra-narrow, while slim trees have a slightly larger circumference. Both are good options for tight spaces.

A skinny Christmas tree exudes updated appeal that works in modern and minimalist designs. Tall slim trees are a popular choice in rooms with high ceilings and may also be used in pairs to flank doorways or fireplaces.

Since a slim Christmas tree takes up less floor space, it is perfectly proportioned for constricted or crowded rooms, providing full holiday style within a narrower footprint.

In many cases, slim trees also cost a bit less than one with a fuller profile – a big help for those trying to heed a holiday budget.

Whether you’re short on space or simply looking to sprinkle Christmas cheer in every corner, small and skinny Christmas trees deliver big on beauty and versatility.

From miniature potted trees that accent tabletops to tall, slender pencil trees that fit perfectly in tight spots, these compact designs make it easy to enjoy all the charm of a full-size tree without sacrificing space or style.

We’ve hand-picked these standout small and slim Christmas trees for their quality and charm, but we offer an entire range of tree profiles and heights to suit every home and holiday vision.
