ARTIFICIAL TREE IDEAS & GUIDES
Style Artificial Trees Beautifully at Home
Practical guides for choosing the right artificial tree, finding the best size and placement, and styling faux greenery to look more natural at home.
START WITH THE RIGHT TREE
Choose a Tree That Fits Your Space
The right artificial tree is about more than height. Consider your ceiling, available floor space, tree shape and surrounding furniture to find proportions that feel natural in the room.
01
FIND THE RIGHT HEIGHT
Start With the Scale of the Room
Ceiling height and nearby furniture can help determine whether a compact, mid-height or taller artificial tree will feel most balanced in your space.
02
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHAPE
Consider How Much Space You Have
Slimmer silhouettes work naturally in tighter areas, while fuller trees can create more presence in open rooms and larger corners.
03
MATCH IT TO THE ROOM
Think About Where the Tree Will Live
A tree beside a sofa serves a different visual purpose from one in a bedroom, entryway or home office. Start with the space you want to style.
THE REALISTIC TREE GUIDE
Make Your Artificial Tree Look More Real
A realistic look comes from more than the tree itself. How you shape the branches, choose the planter and position the tree within the room can make just as much difference.
01
SHAPE & FLUFF
Shape the Branches Naturally
Artificial trees often arrive compressed for shipping. Open and separate the branches, vary their direction and avoid perfect symmetry to create a fuller, more relaxed silhouette.
Take time to work from the inner branches outward, adjusting individual stems until the canopy feels balanced from more than one angle.

02
PLANTER & BASE
Choose a Planter That Belongs in the Room
The planter can change how the entire tree feels. A woven basket adds warmth and texture, while ceramic and neutral planters create a cleaner, more refined look.
Choose a planter with enough visual weight for the tree above it, and look for materials or tones that already appear elsewhere in the room.

03
PLACEMENT
Give the Tree a Natural Place to Live
Artificial trees tend to feel more convincing when they have a clear relationship with the furniture around them.
Place taller greenery beside a sofa, near a console or in an open corner, and leave enough breathing room around the foliage so the tree keeps its natural shape.

04
STYLE THE SPACE
Make the Tree Feel Part of the Room
Bring the tree into the wider design of the space rather than treating it as a standalone decoration.
Natural textures, warm neutrals, wood, woven materials and thoughtfully placed furniture can help artificial greenery feel intentional and connected to the room around it.
