Find the Right Christmas Tree for Your Home

The right Christmas tree depends on much more than height. The space available, how full you want the tree to look, whether you prefer built-in lighting and the overall decorating style all make a difference. Our Christmas Trees collection brings together everything from traditional green artificial Christmas trees and dense Extra Full designs to pre-lit, fibre optic, snow-flocked, slim, sparse, white, pink, potted and miniature trees.

The easiest way to narrow down the range is to choose your height first, then consider the footprint and fullness, decide whether you want built-in lighting, and finally choose the look that suits your home. With Christmas trees ranging from approximately 2FT through to 10FT, there are options for main living rooms, apartments, offices, entryways, bedrooms, tabletops and even difficult corners where a conventional tree may take up too much space.

What Size Christmas Tree Should I Choose?

Christmas tree height has a big influence on how the finished display feels in the room. Smaller trees are easy to place almost anywhere, while 6FT, 7FT and 8FT Christmas trees are popular choices for creating a traditional family display in a living room or entertaining space.

As a general guide, 2FT is approximately 60cm, 3FT is around 90cm, 4FT is approximately 120cm, 5FT is around 150cm, 6FT is approximately 180cm, 7FT is around 210cm and 8FT is approximately 240cm.

A 2FT or 3FT Christmas tree can work beautifully on a tabletop, desk or in a secondary room. 4FT and 5FT trees are useful where floor space or ceiling height is limited, while 6FT and 7FT designs suit many standard Australian living spaces. Taller 8FT, 9FT and 10FT Christmas trees can create a striking feature in rooms with the ceiling height and floor space to accommodate them.

Allow Room for Your Tree Topper

Artificial Christmas tree heights are generally measured from the floor or base to the highest tree tip when that upper tip is fully extended. If you plan to bend the top section slightly or add a large star, angel or other tree topper, the finished decorated height can differ from the nominal tree size.

Before ordering, measure from the floor to the ceiling and allow comfortable clearance for both the upper tip and your chosen topper. It is also worth checking the tree's base diameter, particularly in smaller living rooms or apartments where width may matter just as much as height.

Standard vs Extra Full Christmas Trees

Not all artificial Christmas trees are designed to have the same density. Our Standard trees cover a broad range of traditional and value-focused designs, while trees specifically identified as Extra Full use substantially more branch tips to create a denser and more substantial appearance.

If you love the look of a thick, bushy artificial Christmas tree with fewer visible gaps, an Extra Full design is worth considering. If affordability, lower weight or simpler seasonal setup is more important, a Standard tree may be the better choice.

Tip count can also help when comparing similar trees, although it should not be considered in isolation. Tree height, diameter, foliage type and branch construction all influence the finished appearance.

Pre-Lit, Fibre Optic or Unlit Christmas Tree?

Lighting is one of the easiest ways to narrow down your choice.

Unlit Christmas Trees

An unlit artificial Christmas tree gives you complete freedom to choose your own lights and change the colour or lighting style from year to year. They're ideal for anyone who already owns Christmas lights or enjoys creating a different decorating theme each season.

Pre-Lit LED Christmas Trees

Pre-lit Christmas trees have lights already integrated throughout the branches, saving the time and effort of wrapping separate string lights around the tree. Depending on the model, our range includes warm white LEDs, multicolour lighting, colour-changing RGB LEDs and trees with multiple lighting modes.

A pre-lit artificial Christmas tree is particularly convenient if quick setup matters or you prefer a neat, evenly distributed lighting arrangement straight from the box.

Fibre Optic Christmas Trees

Fibre optic Christmas trees provide built-in illumination with very little decorating required. They can be particularly useful for apartments, offices, classrooms, waiting rooms and temporary displays where convenience and affordability matter more than having an extremely dense traditional tree.

Some of our Value Series fibre optic trees deliberately use a lighter, more open branch construction. Their appeal is easy setup, built-in lighting and excellent value rather than the dense foliage of an Extra Full tree.

Snow-Flocked Christmas Trees

Snow-flocked Christmas trees bring a winter-inspired look to an Australian Christmas display, ranging from subtle frost-like finishes to heavily snow-covered designs.

Light Snow trees retain more visible green foliage and provide a softer, lightly frosted appearance. Heavy Snow designs use considerably more flocking for a pronounced snow-covered effect.

Flocking is a soft decorative coating, so some loose snow and shedding is normal, particularly when assembling, shaping or packing away a heavily flocked tree. Setting the tree up on an easy-to-clean surface can make the process simpler, and shedding generally becomes less noticeable after the first few setups.

Slim & Space-Saving Christmas Trees

You don't need a huge living room to enjoy a full-height Christmas tree. Slim Christmas trees provide the height and traditional shape of a larger tree while using considerably less floor space, making them useful for apartments, hallways, entryways and smaller living rooms.

You may also see very narrow designs described elsewhere as narrow, skinny or pencil Christmas trees. Within our range, these are kept together under the simpler Slim style to make shopping easier.

Corner & Half Christmas Trees

A corner Christmas tree takes space-saving even further. These unusual designs are effectively partial or half Christmas trees, with foliage concentrated on the visible side so the tree can sit against a wall or into a corner without wasting valuable room behind it.

From the front, you still get the appearance of a decorated Christmas tree, but with a much shallower footprint than a conventional 360-degree design.

Mini & Potted Christmas Trees

Mini and potted Christmas trees are useful wherever a conventional floor-standing tree would be impractical. They can bring Christmas into bedrooms, offices, entryways, reception areas, shelves and tabletops, or simply provide a secondary display elsewhere in the home.

Some compact pre-lit designs are battery powered, making them especially easy to position where access to a power point would otherwise be inconvenient.

Sparse & Contemporary Christmas Trees

Not every Christmas tree is meant to look thick and bushy. Sparse Christmas trees deliberately use an open branch structure to create a lighter, more contemporary silhouette. Their visible spacing is part of the design rather than an indication that the tree has been poorly filled.

These open-branch Christmas trees can suit minimalist, Scandinavian and modern interiors particularly well and provide an alternative to the traditional dense artificial tree.

White, Pink & Alternative Christmas Trees

Traditional green remains the classic choice, but it certainly isn't the only option. White Christmas trees create a clean contemporary backdrop for colourful, metallic or themed decorations, while pre-lit white designs can add another layer of colour and illumination.

Our wider range also includes distinctive alternatives such as pink Christmas trees and novelty designs for anyone wanting their Christmas display to feel a little different.

For an unmistakably Australian take on Christmas, you'll even find illuminated Christmas palm trees that combine festive lighting with a tropical summer aesthetic.

PVC, PE & Mixed Foliage Christmas Trees

Artificial Christmas trees can use several different types of foliage, and understanding the basics can make comparing designs easier.

PVC foliage is widely used across artificial Christmas trees. It is durable, affordable and effective for creating the familiar traditional Christmas tree shape.

PE foliage is moulded to create more dimensional, realistic-looking needles and branches. Some trees combine PE and PVC foliage, using the different materials together to balance visual depth, fullness and value.

You'll also find trees incorporating pine-style foliage and decorative elements such as pine cones, red berries, eucalyptus-style leaves, white foliage and frosted finishes. The individual product description will provide the most accurate information for each design.

How to Fluff & Shape an Artificial Christmas Tree

Artificial Christmas trees are compressed tightly for shipping, so shaping is an essential part of setup. A newly unpacked tree will not immediately look like the finished product photography.

Once the tree is assembled, spread the main branches outward and work around the tree section by section. Fan individual tips in different directions rather than leaving them compressed together, then step back periodically and adjust any areas that appear uneven. Spending a little extra time shaping the branches makes a substantial difference to the final appearance.

The finished look of every artificial Christmas tree will vary slightly depending on how its branches and individual tips are arranged.

Christmas Trees for Apartments, Offices & Smaller Spaces

If you're decorating somewhere other than the main family living room, choosing for the space rather than simply buying the tallest tree often produces a better result.

For apartments and compact rooms, consider a slim tree, smaller-height tree, potted design or mini Christmas tree. A corner tree can be especially useful where floor space is tight but you still want a conventional-height display.

Offices, classrooms, reception areas and waiting rooms often benefit from simple pre-lit or fibre optic Christmas trees because there's less decorating required and setup can be completed quickly. Small battery-powered trees are also ideal for desks, counters and secondary displays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size Christmas tree should I buy?

Choose your tree based on both ceiling height and available floor space. Allow extra clearance above the tree if you're adding a large topper, and check the base diameter if space is limited. Around 6FT to 7FT is a popular height range for many living rooms, while smaller, slim and potted trees are useful for tighter spaces.

What is an Extra Full Christmas tree?

Extra Full is used for selected Homecoze Christmas trees with substantially more branch tips and a denser overall appearance than comparable Standard designs. It is a specific range classification rather than a description applied to every tree.

Is a pre-lit Christmas tree worth it?

A pre-lit tree can significantly reduce setup time because the lighting is already integrated throughout the branches. It is particularly convenient if you want an evenly lit tree without separately installing Christmas lights each year.

What is the difference between an LED and fibre optic Christmas tree?

Pre-lit LED Christmas trees use individual LED lights positioned throughout the tree, while fibre optic trees illuminate through fine optical fibres incorporated into the branches. Both provide built-in lighting, but the finished lighting effect and tree construction are different.

What is a snow-flocked Christmas tree?

A snow-flocked Christmas tree has artificial snow applied to the foliage to create a frosted or snow-covered appearance. Lightly flocked trees retain more visible green foliage, while heavily flocked designs create a much stronger winter look.

Is it normal for a flocked Christmas tree to shed?

Yes. Some loose artificial snow can shed during assembly, shaping and packing away, particularly on heavily flocked trees. This is normal for soft snow flocking and generally becomes less noticeable after the first few setups.

Why does my artificial Christmas tree look flat when I unpack it?

Artificial Christmas trees are compressed for shipping and need to be carefully shaped after assembly. Spread the branches, fan out the individual tips and work around the tree gradually to achieve a fuller and more natural-looking result.

How is Christmas tree height measured?

Artificial Christmas tree height is generally measured from the floor or base to the highest tree tip when that tip is fully extended. Folding the upper tip or adding a tree topper can change the apparent finished height of the decorated tree.

What Christmas tree is best for a small apartment?

Slim, mini, potted and smaller-height Christmas trees are all good options for apartments. A corner or half Christmas tree can also provide the appearance of a conventional full-height tree while taking up considerably less floor space.

How should I store an artificial Christmas tree?

Remove decorations and lights where applicable, allow any flocked foliage to dry completely, gently compress the branches and store the tree somewhere clean and dry. A dedicated Christmas tree storage solution can make protecting and organising larger trees easier between seasons.
