Compact snow-flocked Christmas tree with warm white lights and a dark stand

A festive focal point can fit a small living room, a flat or a tabletop. Start with the space you have: the tree’s listed height, its widest diameter and whether you want built-in lights. Here are three different options from Daily Living UK to help you choose.

Three small-space Christmas trees compared

Listed measurements are height × widest diameter.
Tree Listed size Lighting Price
Slim white tree 150 × 50 cm Unlit £30.95
White tabletop tree 80 × 44 cm Colourful fibre-optic £30.40
Snow-flocked prelit tree 120 × 56 cm 150 warm white LEDs £57.31

Measure the whole space

Check the clear width as well as the height. A slim tree can give you a taller display in a narrow corner, while a tabletop tree uses the space on a suitable surface. For a tabletop display, add the height of the furniture when checking the space above it. Leave room for a topper, decorations and the route of any power lead.

The product names use nominal foot sizes. Use the centimetre measurements on the product page when planning the fit; the tabletop model below, for example, is sold as 2.5ft and lists an overall height of 80 cm.

A slim white tree you can decorate your way

White slim artificial Christmas tree with a white stand

The 5ft white slim artificial Christmas tree with stand is listed at 150 cm high and 50 cm across. It is unlit, giving you a starting point for your own choice of lights and ornaments.

Its white branches create a bright backdrop for a colour theme. The listed 294 branch tips need spreading out during assembly to shape the display. This is an option to consider when you want a taller tree with a narrow footprint.

A tabletop tree with colourful lighting

Choose it for a suitable indoor tabletop or other stable surface with enough room for the base and branches. The product page specifies indoor use only and a 1.8 m power cord; check where it will sit and how it will reach a power supply.
