At Christmas time, most people like to decorate their home and other places where they spend their time, such as the work environment. But you don’t always have enough space to put a traditional tree, or maybe you just want to make a more original one for a bit of variation.
Also, it is possible to think about more sustainable holidays, and make a Christmas tree yourself with plastic bottles, or use 22 Christmas decorations that you can make yourself.
To innovate and make the most of both the space and the elements you have in your home, here are 20 alternative Christmas tree ideas for small spaces.
1. Wall hanging
This original proposal consists of a tree of rods to hang that you can easily make and decorate with the type of ornament that you like the most, such as, in this case, colored balls alternating with each other.
It does not take up any space, much less to store it until the following year. Also, if you do it yourself, you will not spend any money.
2. Plastic circles
This is another proposal for the wall, ideal for all those who need to make the most of every corner of their small home. In addition, it is a sustainable proposal because it is made with old reused PVC pipes.
You simply have to cut several tubes of different sizes horizontally, and one crosswise, to make the trunk. Its decoration is as simple as supporting the elements you want inside!
3. Illuminated stairs
The two-leaf ladders are ideal for improvising a fun Christmas tree, since you only need to open it and it will have the necessary shape.
Decorate it with lights and hang other decorations that you like from the wires. She will love everyone!
4. Post-it tree
A very fun and quick idea. Ideal for the office!
5. Library
This proposal has a lot of style and is ideal for a very special space. The rest of the year, you can leave the library, but without the Christmas decorations it will just look like a very nice triangular bookcase.
6. Vinyls
The vinyls, which come in multiple shapes and figures to decorate the walls of any room in the house, also have a Christmas version that can be placed in a few seconds and will save space. You can find them in many colors and designs!
7. With wool!
Drawing a tree with wool or rope on the wall is very simple. You just need some duct tape. If the surface is made of wood, like this one, there will be no mark left when you remove it and you can forget about it in a few seconds. To complement, add some simple decorations, which you can also do yourself.
8. Tree in a basket
Christmas trees in a basket or basket are very fashionable. Although they take up more space, they have the advantage of being easy to move around, making them a great option if you need to move your tree around for different activities in the same room.
9. Old book
If you have a very old book that you are thinking of throwing away, and you like the way it looks, you can make this highly original tree, and surprise everyone!
10. Dry tree
This is an idea to bring back to life a tree that no longer has it, using it for this Christmas also in a basket.
11. Tree of books
This alternative is ideal for those who have so many books that they no longer know where to put them, and leave them in the corners of the house. You just have to stack them and decorate them with some lights: you will solve, at the same time, the problem of messy books, and that of the Christmas tree!
12. Drawing with chalk
If you have a blackboard, the Christmas tree theme will be solved without taking up a millimeter of space: you just have to draw it with chalk!
13. Small blackboard
Another similar option, but for those who do not have a blackboard at home. They can get a small blackboard and draw the tree. The rest of the year, they can write or draw whatever they want on it.
14. Log Tree
This is another easy wall option, which you can make with logs or bark and decorate with the lights and decorations of your choice.
15. Folding Rod Tree
This folding tree made of wooden rods is a good option if you can make a place for it for Christmas, but then you have nowhere to store it during the year; because it folds up taking up very little space. In addition, as it is the natural color of wood, it will combine with any environment.
16. Rope and cards
Another option with strings that you can decorate with the greeting cards you receive for the holidays or those you have kept from previous years.
17. Wood Minimalist
This simple tree will go with any room, and won’t need any decorations, though you can place your gifts underneath for a nice, Christmassy touch.
18. Mini cork trees
If you definitely don’t have room to set up the tree in your house, these mini cork trees can be a fun option to place on a table.
19. Paper tree with colored paper
If you liked the wall options, you can make this model with magazine or gift paper cutouts that you have in your house, and take advantage of the color of its patterns.
20. Small ladder
Finally, look at this other option with stairs, but that you can place on a table. They look great with the lights on!
Have a very original Christmas!
