1. Keep It Classic
Keep it classic by adding a tree skirt in a typical Christmas color, like red or green. It will go with your Christmas decor and give off that festive feeling you are looking for. This tree skirt idea is especially dazzling if your tree features ornaments of the same classic color.
Tree skirt ideas don't always have to be festive red or green. There are plenty of fun, vibrant colors to help you get in the holiday spirit. Feature a tree skirt with multicolored tassels for a playful display beneath the tree. Stray from traditional Christmas colors with a blue Christmas tree skirt, or strike an elegant balance with a golden design.
Embrace neutral tones this Christmas with a burlap tree skirt. Burlap is notoriously known for its rustic style, and it helps accent the texture of your tree. The neutral color palette and natural material allows your ornaments to shine without being overpowered. If you are looking for a unique Christmas tree skirt with more detail, opt for one with a simple white embroidery on the edge.
Usually, tree skirts help add a festive base to a Christmas tree, cover up artificial tree stands for a polished appearance, and serve as the go-to spot for Christmas presents. But they can also be the perfect foundation for quaint Christmas scenes or Christmas village displays beneath the tree! Start with a white tree skirt to create a snow-covered appearance. Position a pair of snowman figurines, pinecones, and spare ornaments on the tree skirt. Weave mini string lights throughout the display for a magical scene. You can do the same with a mini Christmas village, featuring charming mini houses, shops, and miniature Christmas trees.
Give your Christmas tree a lush and luxurious look by opting for a velvet tree skirt. Velvet is soft to the touch and will last for years to come. Because water can damage velvet, be sure to remove your tree skirt when watering your tree to prevent any spots.
If you aren't a fan of these Christmas tree skirt ideas, opt for a basket instead. Choose a large basket that will fit your tree stand and slide your tree inside. Drape a throw blanket inside of your basket to add a cozy feel and completely hide the stand. Tree collars give off a similar look but offer different materials, like galvanized metal. Both give your tree a tidy look, no matter the amount of gifts you have under the tree.
Forgo the tree skirt altogether and opt for a rustic-style crate instead. Its square shape and barn door-style detailing provides the perfect base for farmhouse interiors or any aesthetic in need of a cozy holiday addition. Not to mention, this design works perfectly for hiding the tree watering system if you use a real tree.
Christmas is the perfect time to break out glittery decor and sequins because it speaks to the magic of the season. Sequin tree skirts are an easy way to dress up your Christmas tree and make it stand out in an instant. The lights on your Christmas tree will help illuminate the glistening sequins for a sparkling display.
Metallic Christmas tree collars provide an ultra sturdy and unique base for a Christmas tree that you can use for years to come. Weathered steel and iron designs add a bit of rustic charm to your tree display, while black or polished gold and silver speak to a modern aesthetic with sleek metal details.
If you have a Christmas tree in your entryway or entertaining space, consider this Christmas tree skirt idea to welcome guests into your space. Choose a tree skirt with an embroidered holiday phrase to capture the mood of the season and make guests feel at-home.
No one can escape wearing a Christmas-themed sweater around the holidays– not even your Christmas tree! Don your tree in a knit tree skirt featuring woven designs or patterns. You can't go wrong with a Fair Isle-inspired sweater tree skirt.
Make festive greenery the central theme of your Christmas tree with a tree skirt featuring Christmas tree emblems, wreaths, and holly or mistletoe. Add charm to the space beneath your tree with a tree skirt that has embroidered Christmas trees that pop against a neutral backdrop..
Every Christmas tree deserves a tree skirt, even small and miniature ones! Give your scaled-down Christmas tree the foundation it deserves with an equally scaled-down tree skirt. A tree skirt is a great way to make mini tree displays still feel special, whether you're tight on space or just want to spruce up your entryway tabletop tree.
This white and silver damask tree skirt complements the white tree with silver ornaments to create a harmonious Christmas display. You can do the same with a gold tree skirt to match with a champagne-colored Christmas tree, or if you have a brightly-colored tree that you can match to a tree skirt in the same color.
Plaid is a well-known holiday pattern, making it the perfect choice for a tree skirt idea. Choose a plaid tree skirt full of traditional holiday colors like red, green, and silver to tie it in with the rest of your seasonal decor. For a farmhouse look, opt for a unique Christmas tree skirt in buffalo plaid. For a cohesive look, hang matching plaid stockings over the fireplace.
If you find yourself putting up a tree at the last minute, this tree skirt idea is perfect for you. Swap out a tree skirt for a throw blanket. By adding a blanket under your tree, you’ll create a layered but cozy feel, no matter the temperature outside. Choose a faux fur blanket to give the bottom of your tree a soft, plush, and luxurious look, or opt for a knitted blanket to add more texture. The best part? You can use the blanket all year long, even when you put the tree away.
Pair heavily-decorated or colorful Christmas trees with solid-color tree skirts to keep the focus on the tree itself. This is especially important if you have a unique ornament display or theme that you want to show off to guests. Solid color tree skirts help relax the display without taking away from the main attraction: the Christmas tree.
