5 alternative trees for the holidays

Sometimes it’s tricky to fit a traditional tree into your space. Here are five festive alternatives to suit your needs AND reflect your personality. Get inspired!

1. Decorate your side board with branches

Lack the space for a big tree? Go for a smaller version instead! Use a few branches and place them in a vase like BERÄKNA. Decorate your original Christmas tree with tree ornaments and you just turned a side board into an instant gift area.

Branches and twigs are arranged in the vase BERÄKNA. Everything is decorated and decorated for Christmas on ERSNÄS sideboard.

2. Hang some dried orange slices

If you’re a ho-ho-ho traditionalist this tree may feel a little outside the box. But it’s oh so simple. Dried orange slices not only look Christmasy they also smell incredibly good!

Orange peels are hung as tree decorations on an artificial Christmas tree. The artificial tree made of metal and wood stands on a table with green tablecloth.

3. Let your wall tree shine

Hang the VINTERFINT wall decoration and add whatever you feel fancy for. IKEA offers a lot new hanging decoration and fairy lights. And there go - your minimal art piece you will love!

4. Save space with this decoration idea

Take it to the next level and decorate your own Christmas tree with your gifts and packages.

A Christmas tree made of Christmas packages stands in the room. On the top package is added STRÅLA lampshade. Everything looks like a Christmas tree.

5. Dress a faux Christmas tree this holiday!

Get creative and imagine your dream tree. Then create it on your table for an eye-catching centrepiece. IKEA has a broad range of tree ornaments & accessories.
