Christmas tree skirts add a stylish finishing touch to your tree. Choosing the right size can feel a little confusing, especially with so many options available. This guide offers easy tips and helpful suggestions so you can pick a skirt that suits your tree and your space.
Tree Skirt Sizes
The size of a tree skirt depends on the height of your tree and the amount of coverage you prefer. Below is a guide to the sizes available and the tree heights they work best with.
Small Christmas Tree Skirts: 45 to 90 Centimetres
A 45-centimetre tree skirt suits miniature tabletop trees, while 60 to 90-centimetre skirts are ideal for trees under 180 centimetres. This smaller size offers an elegant finish and adds festive charm without taking up much space.
Medium Christmas Tree Skirts: 120 to 150 Centimetres
Medium-sized tree skirts look best with 180 cm to 230 cm Christmas trees. They’re big enough to obscure the tree stand and provide space for presents. These are perfect for trees displayed in the living room or foyer with standard 275-cm ceilings.
Large Christmas Tree Skirts: 180 to 215 Centimetres
Large tree skirts are best suited for Christmas trees between 245 and 365 centimetres. These taller trees are often displayed in spaces with vaulted ceilings such as hotel lobbies, business centres or other large venues where a grand Christmas display is desired.
Insider’s Tip
A simple way to choose the right tree skirt size is to pick one that is at least 15 centimetres wider than the full width of your tree. For example, if your tree measures 137 centimetres across, you’ll need a skirt that is around 152 centimetres.
Frequently Asked Questions
We answer more of your common questions about Christmas tree skirts below.
How Big of a Tree Skirt Do You Need for a 305-Centimetre Tree?
For a tree that is around 305 centimetres tall, choose a skirt that is roughly 150 to 180 centimetres wide. As a general guide, the skirt should cover the stand and extend slightly beyond the widest branches for a balanced look.
What Size Wicker Tree Skirt for a 245-Centimetre Tree?
A 245-centimetre-tall tree usually pairs well with a wicker tree skirt measuring 120 to 150 centimetres in diameter. This size complements the height of the tree while providing good coverage at the base.
Can a Tree Skirt Be Too Big?
Yes. A tree skirt can look oversized if it extends far beyond the lower branches. Choose a size that fits neatly around the stand and is proportionate to the full width of your tree.
How Do You Determine What Size Tree Collar You Need?
Measure the diameter of your tree stand at its widest point, then choose a collar that is slightly larger than that measurement. The collar should fit comfortably around the base without extending wider than the lowest branches.
