FAQs What is the best real christmas tree for a narrow space? Think feather boas, outsized garlands and ribbons galore. Naturally, eye-catching Christmas mantel decor will be most effective if you are looking to steer attention away from the lack of a tree. Whether you are minimalist or maximalist, mantelscaping is about curating your favourite festive decorations and getting really creative. ‘Mantelscaping is a way of expressing your own personality and it’s set to elevate interior schemes all this festive season.’ It’s a great way to create a focal point in the room without a need for the tree itself,’ says Shaun Eldridge, senior buyer for Christmas at The Range. ‘Mantelscaping has fast become one of the key Christmas interior trends and people are giving it just as much focus as the Christmas tree. If you opt for artificial greenery, then try adding some scent sticks that smell like fir or pine to bring that Christmas smell into your home,’ adds Camilla. ‘Don’t forget to introduce artificial or real greenery to shelving scenes, depending on your preference. The shelfie-tree approach can work in any room in your home, even the kitchen – add your festive crockery to your shelf displays to introduce more seasonal patterns and colours. Try to mix and match different sizes and colours but always consider a scheme that complements your overall decor for a cohesive look,’ recommends Essential Living’s manager, Camilla Lesser. ‘Arrange or hang your favourite baubles and Christmas ornaments along living room shelving for an eye-catching display. Loading up shelves in the same way as you would dress a tree can achieve similar impact and create a strong focal point if your home lacks a tree – fill with twinkling lights to boost the tree-inspired feel. Be sure to do some research into your bouquet or flower of choice and give it the best environment to thrive this festive period,’ adds Dani. ‘Although flowers won’t last as long as an artificial or real Christmas tree, there are many ways to make sure your florals are blooming for as long as possible. ‘Popular festive bouquets feature flowers such as Carnations, Alstroemeria, Gypsophila, and can be adorned with gold Ruscus leaves, Hypericum Berries and snowy pinecones for extra wow factor.’įresh flowers allow you to switch up your Christmas décor, as you can replace the beautiful bouquet every two-three weeks. ‘If you’ve got a small space, or simply want something different this year, you can spruce up your home by creating a fresh or dried flower display,’ agrees Dani Turner, customer experience director at Bunches. Festive floral arrangements – fresh, faux or dried – can prove an excellent way to introduce all the colour and nature a tree can offer, with a little design difference.
