No space for xmas tree?

[lau86]

We have a kitchen diner and separate lounge, we moved to this house in may so it's our first Christmas here. I think we'll put the tree in the kitchen diner as it's huge and there's no space in the living room for it. But I still want something Christmassy in the living room- does anyone have any recommendations? I have seen 'pencil trees' but I don't know if it's a bit naff. This is the space I'm thinking of

That looks like an excellent space for a tree imo. Mine isn't a pencil tree but it's fairly slim, got it from Argos last year it's a 6ft one and I reckon it'd fit in there, if not they've got 5ft ones that are that tiny bit slimmer.

Or, buy a 3ft tree (I got a really nice one from Asda this year for ds's room) and put it on a stool or coffee table, we did that when we lived in a really tiny flat with literally no room for a proper tree.

I’d totally squeeze a tree there lol. We are struggling on where to put ours this year. Niko’s swing lives in its spot at the moment so the swing may have to go

You could fit one in there. Just look for a slim one.

Maybe I was spoilt in our old house as we had a large corner area that was perfect for a huge tree and we only had one living room so it was perfect. Ill have a look around

Your house sounds similar to ours. Last year I bought a small (about a foot tall) real tree that was in a decorative pot and stood it on top of a cupboard. I decorated it with small baubles and some lights and it looked really pretty 😀

I'm in the same predicament the whole room is being rearranged for it haha.

Homebargains have a 6ft very full looking (750 tips) nice tree for £24.99, it isn't too wide at the bottom.

Can you move your cabinet onto the chimney breast(?) and have the tree in the alcove? Only if there isn't a fireplace/TV on the wall there, that is.

There is a fireplace so it wouldn't work and a massive corner sofa taking up the other two walls. I've got some hope now of finding something and I really like the idea of a real tree so might have a look into that

I'm sure last year I saw tree wall stickers and similar things. Might be worth a look

We have to move a armchair into another room to fit our tree in ! Just doesn't look good anywhere else !

I would deffo fit something in that space ! . I'd do what others suggested a small tree popped up on a table
