Do You Need a Second Christmas Tree?

Sometimes, one Christmas tree isn’t quite enough. Putting up your Christmas tree marks the start of the festive season. Most of us put our Christmas tree in our living room, but you might be considering the practicalities of a second Christmas tree. It’s a growing trend in the UK with households having a main tree and a second themed tree.

Don’t mistake this trend as being excessive. It’s a fun and practical way to extend your Christmas decorating throughout your home. You might add a second Christmas tree to your dining room, hallway, or child’s bedroom. Remember: there are no rules for Christmas decorating.

We’re exploring why a second Christmas tree might be a good option for you and sharing our top styling tips and where to put your extra tree.

Why Should You Have a Second Christmas Tree?

Do you ever feel uninspired by your Christmas tree? Whether you live with flatmates or your family, it’s easy to feel like your main Christmas tree has to look a certain way.

Having a second Christmas tree is a great way to express your creativity and experiment with different types of Christmas tree decorations and baubles. You can put traditional ornaments on your ‘main’ tree and have fun by incorporating new Christmas decorating trends into your second tree.

Mini Christmas trees are also a great option if you want to spread festive cheer throughout the rest of your home. It’s easy for your decorating to focus solely on one room or area, leaving the rest of your home feeling uninspired. You can incorporate smaller Christmas trees into almost any room in your home, even using mounted trees for your hallway or larger rooms.

If you love taking pictures and hosting parties during Christmas, having a second Christmas tree gives you more photo opportunities and improves the visual impact of your overall decorating. You can keep both your trees in the same theme or decorate your second tree differently.

If you have the space and enjoy Christmas decorating, a second Christmas tree is a great idea. Buying a mini tree could also be the perfect way to involve your kids in decorating for Christmas without them touching the main tree.

Where to Place Your Second Christmas Tree

You’re sold on buying a second Christmas tree – but where should it go? Most of us put our main tree in a living room or open space, making it easy to put presents underneath the tree. You have more options for a second Christmas tree, depending on the space you have and your preferred size of tree.

Here are a few ideas of where you can put a second or smaller Christmas tree:

Entryway and hallway to greet your guests and family as they arrive at your home. A half tree is the perfect option for a hallway or placing under your stairs.

Your kitchen is a high-traffic area. If you have the space, you can place a mini Christmas tree on your countertop to inspire you while cooking.

If you’re a fan of the ‘hygge’ trend or want to create a cosy feeling in your home, a small Christmas tree is the perfect addition to your bedroom.

Let your kids have fun by decorating their own tree by adding a small pre-lit Christmas tree to their playroom or bedrooms.
