But before going out to buy your traditional tree for this year’s Christmas, take a look at these gorgeous alternative tree choices that will transform your holidays.

Rainbow Tree
For a different way to decorate your traditional Christmas tree, you can try using a rainbow inspired ornament placing. Doesn’t it look incredible? It’s festive, colorful and joyful and will bring a big smile whenever someone takes a look at (or rather, get enchanted by) the tree.
Branches Christmas Tree
Using branches and twigs, you can create the most incredible Christmas tree on your wall with just a small walk outside. Gather different branches and cut them in different lengths, forming a rough tree shape, and use a sturdy cord to tie them together, leaving a loop on top for hanging. Grab a glue gun and start attaching ornaments, ribbons, pine cones, stars, anything you have laying around. Add some fairy lights and you’ll have a gorgeous and modern Christmas Tree!
Small Places Solution
If you live in a smaller space or if you just don’t want to commit to a full-sized Christmas tree, there’s always a solution. You can place pine branches and other tree branches on a bigger vase and hang beautiful ornaments on them, recreating the holiday effect on a smaller version. You can place the vase on different places, like:
- On a corner table;
- On the dining table;
- On the mantel;
- On a living room or bedroom corner;
- On top of a cupboard (and use the cupboard to store the gifts);
- Or on any place that works best for your house!
The result is as beautiful and as festive as a full sized tree.
