Your Guide to the 6 Christmas Tree Shapes to Display In Your Home
There’s more than one!
Christmas trees are arguably the most iconic staple of the holiday season, but did you know there are more than one shape? When it comes to artificial Christmas trees, many people think of putting up the standard full, upright tree, but we’re here to say there are more ideas than that. Here are 6 Christmas tree shapes to consider decorating this upcoming holiday season for a festive icon that speaks to your style.
6 Different Christmas Tree Shapes
1. Regular (Full)
A regular artificial Christmas tree looks like a real tree and fits in standard homes and apartments with the average eight feet ceiling height. These Christmas trees are full of branches that leave no gaps in the tree and fully hide the artificial stand This option is great for homes looking for the standard Christmas tree that isn’t too slim or extra full.
Tip!
Complete your Christmas decor with a skirt for extra decor and holiday spirit.
Working with tight spaces but still wanting to be festive? Opt for a slender artificial Christmas tree to accomplish the best of both worlds. Slender trees are narrow and cut down nearly half of the fullness of regular Christmas trees, so they require less square footage and ornaments without minimizing the tradition of having a Christmas tree in the home.
If you like the regular the Christmas tree shape but want more fullness and more branches, the extra-full size is the option for you. Extra-full Christmas trees are built with a wider base and include more branches than a regular tree. When you opt for an extra full Christmas tree shape, you can enjoy stocking up on more ornaments to occupy the extra branches for a fully decorated look.
For a unique take on a Christmas tree, the spiral shape is sure to turn heads. This Christmas tree shape works well for those who want to differ from the traditional Christmas tree, or want a holiday decor piece for outside. Placing two spiral-shaped Christmas trees wrapped in lights on both sides of your front door makes the ultimate warm welcome for your guests to get them in the holiday spirit. Since the spiral-shaped tree size is slimmer in nature, this option also works well for smaller spaces or for having a tabletop Christmas tree to open up your floors.

5. Upside-Down
Make a statement with your Christmas decor with an upside-down Christmas tree. This Christmas tree shape keeps your floor open by having the narrow top on the bottom and the base of the tree at top, giving you a unique way to hang your ornaments and showcase this holiday icon. Since the narrow top is on the floor with this option, it’s an excellent choice for all homes, even those with smaller space available, since it reduces the amount of floor space the tree takes up.
Half and corner Christmas tree shapes take space-saving to the next level. It is annoying to put a Christmas tree against the wall just for the branches to bunch, so this option eliminates the bunching and ensures space-saving by having a solid back. Half and corner Christmas trees feature a front with full branches to hang your lights and ornaments on that fits perfectly against a wall or in the corner thanks to its solid back that contains no branches.
Now that you know about the different Christmas tree shapes, it’s time to find the right one for your holiday decor!
