    Below are some things to consider when choosing a tabletop tree for your home.

    Size and Scale

    A small Christmas tree for table use should complement, not overwhelm, your area. Measure the surface where you plan to display the tree, ensuring ample space for other decorations. In many cases, trees between 18 inches to 2 feet tall are ideal for tables.

    Type

    Consider the type of tree that suits your style. Balsam Hill offers various options, from traditional twig Christmas trees to pre-lit ones. A tabletop Christmas tree with lights adds extra sparkle, while a twig tree with lights offers minimalist charm. If you want something simple, try a potted tree or a topiary. They hold their shape well and look elegant with little to no ornaments.

    Style

    Your tree’s style should reflect your taste and complement your holiday décor. Balsam Hill’s range includes classic green trees, snow-flocked designs, unique twig trees, and more. Choose a tree that goes well with your tabletop Christmas décor for a cohesive look.

    Assembly and Storage

    Considering the assembly and storage of your tabletop Christmas tree is crucial, especially for those with limited space. Balsam Hill’s tabletop trees are designed for easy setup, giving you more time to enjoy the festivities. After the holiday season, these trees can be easily disassembled and stored, ensuring they remain pristine for years.
