Decorating A Wooden Christmas Tree

Cox & Cox

Wooden Christmas trees are the perfect alternative to a traditional one. These pared-back and eco-friendly Christmas trees are fast becoming the ultimate must-have festive decoration for the home, providing a focal point in your living space to help you create a truly natural, stunning display that you can use year after year.

Wooden Christmas trees are great for all spaces (and are more often than not space-saving alternatives), but they'll equally work well in a country house to give a rustic feel as they would in an urban abode to give a contemporary edge.

There are lots of large, freestanding wooden Christmas trees or smaller table top designs to suit your space. Ladder trees are hugely popular as freestanding or on the wall, and there are more storage-style wooden trees this year too, enabling you to decorate with presents.
