Small trees: where they go

A small tree is bought not instead of a large one, but for places a large one won’t fit — or where you want the festive feeling in one more room.

The ceiling rule does not apply to these heights at all. A 0.6–1.2 m tree is chosen by the surface it will stand on and how much free space that surface has.

Typical spots

Table — 0.6–0.9 m, so you can still see the person opposite
Chest of drawers or sideboard — up to 1.2 m; with the height of the furniture it reads as a full-size tree
Windowsill — short and narrower, so it clears the window reveal
Child’s room — a small tree of their own that the child decorates
Office, study, reception desk — wherever a floor-standing tree would block the way

A second tree at home

Some orders for small models are a second tree alongside a large one: for the bedroom, the kitchen or a child’s room. The needles and branches are the same as on the floor-standing trees, so two trees in one home look like a pair rather than a random mix.

It packs the same way, into its own box, and takes little storage space.
