Follow our suggestions and helpful tips below.
Where To Put Your Christmas Tree
Visibility is key when creating a picture-perfect festive scene. Beyond the living room, there are plenty of beautiful spots around your home to consider for your tree.
Front Verandah
Create a warm Christmas welcome for guests and neighbours with clusters of mini pre-lit trees, the perfect day-to-night festive décor.
Entryway
Welcome friends and family as soon as they walk through the door. Choose a slim tree for narrower areas or tight corners to make the most of your space.
By the Staircase
Transform an empty corner into a grand Christmas display. For a cohesive look, drape a matching garland along the handrail to complete the scene.
By the Fireplace
Even during an Australian summer, your fireplace can serve as a beautiful backdrop for your Christmas tree. Even if it is not in use, the mantel and surrounding space provide a charming spot for complementary décor.
Family Room or Den
Create a picture-perfect backdrop for your Christmas memories. Homemade or heirloom ornaments add a personal touch and enhance the warm, cosy atmosphere.
Dining Room
Enjoy memorable Christmas meals with a beautiful tree taking pride of place. Create an elegant look by choosing a slim or sparse tree that complements your dining setting.
Kitchen
Bring festive cheer into one of the busiest areas of your home. A Christmas tree in the kitchen is a charming touch, especially for open-plan layouts where it can be enjoyed from multiple spaces.
Deck
Let the festive twinkle of outdoor-safe, potted Christmas trees light up your deck or alfresco entertaining area.
By Wide Windows
Create a stunning focal point with a beautifully decorated tree that can be admired from every angle, even from outside your home.
Bedroom
Start a new Christmas tradition by letting each family member decorate their own mini or tabletop tree in their bedroom, adding a personal festive touch to their space.
Do’s and Don’ts
- Do choose a spot near a power outlet to avoid the need for long or unsafe extension cords.
- Do consider your available space and home’s layout – it may work better to display multiple smaller trees in different rooms. Tabletop trees are great space-saving options, too.
- Don’t place your tree in high-traffic areas or near light switches and doorways, as people could bump into ornaments or trip over branches.
- Don’t block vents or grates so air can circulate freely and safely.
