From potted container trees to abstract wall Christmas trees the options are limitless. If you are trying to find a creative way to house a space-saving tree this season, take a look these ideas that you will want to try this holiday season. Utilize the best part of the tree: If you want a live Christmas tree, consider using the best part of the tree – the top for your space-saving needs. Many tree nurseries and Christmas tree vendors will have smaller trees available for your tabletop and they can still be decorated and adorned with beautiful holiday ornaments and lights like their larger cousins. For many homes, a potted Christmas tree is a great option as it will live longer because its planted in soil and once the holidays are over, the decorations can come off and still make a great house plant.

Abstract trees don’t require any floor space to clutter up valuable walking areas and your bare wall will gain a “new life” for the holiday season. If you were thinking you had to go without a Christmas tree this season due to space-saving constraints, think again. Use these creative ideas in your home: from containers and potted trees to abstract wall varieties, your home has plenty of inspiration. Get creative this season; after all, next year you can pick a whole new idea and theme to bring Christmas beautifully into your winter home.
