The size and shape of your flocked Christmas tree will help you to determine the best theme for decorating it regardless of whether it’s unlit or pre-lit. It would also help you to know what sizes and shapes of decoration elements to use.
Here’s a quick guide on what you need to know to find the right tree size for your home.
Location
Often, Christmas trees are placed in places where family and loved ones gather to have fun. Before you select a tree, you need to determine its location. This gives you an idea of what tree size will fit in.
If you choose a location for your tree, ensure it is far away from heat sources such as fireplaces, vents, and exhausts.
Taking measurements for your Christmas tree
It is important to measure out your tree’s location before purchasing it, though this requires a measuring tape, a ladder, and a piece of paper.
First, measure the height of the space (from the ceiling to the floor) using the measuring tape. This would give the maximum height limit of the tree.
Next, measure out the width of the available space. Subtract at least one foot from this measurement for allowance space.
Finally, subtract one foot from the measured height and multiply it by the width. With that, you should get an accurate measurement of the available space for the tree.
Selecting the right height and shape for flocked trees
You can easily select the right tree for you and your family based on the measurements you made earlier. For smaller spaces, you can purchase a 6 to 6 ½ ft. tree. Average-sized apartments can take 7 to 7 ½ ft. trees.
For a large residence, a 9 ft. tree would do just fine. 10 to 12 ft. trees are grand and best fit for large areas. 15 to 30 ft. Flocked Christmas trees are also perfect for public spaces.
