Skinny and mini Christmas trees help holiday revelers celebrate the season with room to spare. Get creative solutions to fit a Christmas tree in a tight space.

No need to relocate the coffee table or stand the sofa on end to fit a Christmas tree in the living room. With the wide array of options on the Internet, anyone with a tiny apartment or cozy house can keep the tradition of displaying a decorated Christmas tree in their home.

Following are some clever options for decorators to fit a mini real Christmas tree or a small, flat back or inverted artificial Christmas tree in a cramped space. All are available online.

Real Tabletop, Miniature Christmas Trees

For a real tree that fits on a tabletop, check out Christmastrees4smallspaces.com for a selection of miniature pine trees grown on the Oregon coast (see photo below). Choose either a grand fir (great fragrance), Scotch pine (full, bushy shape), or noble fir (blue/silver needles) in heights ranging from 24 to 48 inches tall. A stand made especially for small trees is also available for $11. Price for trees: $15 to $35. Shipping varies.

Upside Down Christmas Tree

Households with huge collections of Christmas ornaments but limited space can still have a full size tree: just turn it upside down! Treetopia.com, a comprehensive site for all shapes and sizes of holiday trees, offers the Bottom’s Upside Down Christmas Tree seen in the photo below. The 7.5-feet-tall tree rests on its tip on the floor and extends its base toward the ceiling. The tree’s full 54-inch width allows massive displays of ornaments while taking up little floor space. Price for the pre-lit tree: $349. Free shipping.

Frasier Fir Flat Back Christmas Tree

The Frasier Fir Flat Back Christmas Tree from Grandinroad.com, pictured below, sits snugly against the wall while giving the illusion of a full-sized tree from the front. The 7.5-feet-tall tree extends 26 inches from the wall and comes pre-strung with 600 lights. A half-round stand is included. Price: $299. Shipping varies.

Red Spruce Slim Christmas Tree

The skinny Red Spruce Slim Christmas Tree from Balsam Hill comes in widths varying from 40 inches (6.5-foot height) to 65 inches (12-foot height). Layered branches let decorators display an abundance of ornaments. Price: $329 to $1,049. Free shipping.

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

An adorable reproduction of the Christmas tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas television special, the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree from fredflare.com lends considerable charm to any location. Price: $20. Shipping is $7.95.

These examples of Christmas trees that fit in small spaces range from inexpensive to quite spendy. The more expensive artificial trees, however, will last for years, resulting in a nice payoff on the initial investment.

Use the mini Christmas tree as the only holiday tree in the house or as a complementary decoration in the kitchen, child’s room, or family room.
