Height of artificial Christmas trees
It is impossible to imagine the New Year without a green beauty. It, together with the constant Olivier salad, tangerines and the Irony of Fate, creates the mood and atmosphere of the holiday. I would like the tree to be real - smelling of resin, pine needles, winter forest, but if you remember all the inconveniences it causes, then the choice will be up to an artificial tree. This way you will save money, get rid of a trip to the market, from the ubiquitous needles around the room, and the smell will be created by a special spray or several spruce branches in the water. How to choose a forest mistress who will delight you for many years and become a true decoration of the holiday?

Deciding on the choice of artificial Christmas trees
First you need to decide where you plan to put the Christmas tree: in a private house, apartment, office, on the street. Its dimensions, splendor of needles, and appearance depend on this. So, for example, if you plan to install it in a public place where there are a lot of people, then you need an interior spruce tree with a presentable appearance and lush branches. It is not recommended to choose large and heavy products for an apartment.
IMPORTANT! To ensure that the Christmas tree in a small apartment does not take up the main space, and in a private house does not get lost, it is important to choose the right size.
The Christmas tree is selected according to two main criteria - height and diameter of the lower part. But if according to the first parameter everything is more or less clear - there are product standards and ceiling heights (on average 220 cm), then the second is the area of the room that you are willing to give up.So, in order not to make a mistake, take a tape measure and take simple measurements of the installation location. Then compare the measurements with the product data sheet.
Now Typical sizing and recommendations:
- 60-90 cm. Can be used as tabletop. Suitable for small spaces, additional decor for an office, study, hallway. Optimal for families with small children - it will be difficult for a child to reach the table.
- 120 cm (branch span 80 cm) for a standard cabinet. Suitable for a small room or office, as the main New Year's decoration.
- 150 cm (branch span 90 cm). Will be used for decorating a store, a beauty salon, or a small apartment. Ideal for a customer waiting room or reception area.
- 180 cm (branch span 110 cm). It will be the herald of the New Year for a large office, store, shopping center, cottage, private home, on the street near the house.
- 210 cm or more (branch span 140+). For large areas, halls of a shopping center, hotel, cottage, street area, parking lot.
ATTENTION! There should be a distance of 20-25 cm between the top of the tree and the ceiling. If the room has suspended ceilings, then do not forget about them when installing.
And finally.
Expert advice
Please pay attention when choosing:
- The needles on the branches hold tightly if you run your hand along them “against the grain” or tug. Hard to the touch. Soft needles can mean poor quality of the product and fragility.
- The branches are elastic, mobile, and do not dangle. If you bend the branch, it should return to its original state.
- The tree should not have a strong chemical smell.
- The ends of the branches should be smooth, not have sharp ends, and there should be no wire sticking out of them.
- The stand must be stable, stand level on the floor, and not wobble.
- The product must have a quality certificate.
IMPORTANT! Don't skimp on quality. A cheap model may not survive until next year.
Happy New Year!
