Space Saving Flat Back Christmas Tree

When floor space is limited, but you still want to have a nice Christmas tree to add some festive sparkle to the room, you need a flat back Christmas tree.

Basically, these are Christmas trees that look like they have been cut in half length-ways. As they are designed to sit flat against the wall, they don't take up much room, or do they pose as a tripping hazard.

You can also get wall mounted ones* on eBay Store: shopmonkltd for £29.99 delivered, or Studio have this LED Wall Christmas Tree* for just £24.99.

Or how about this 2m Corner and Half Wall Christmas Tree* which is £59.99 at Studio.

Not only do these ones look great, but they don't take up floor space, and they stay out of the reach of kids.

Half Christmas Tree

If you've got pets or cats, then you'll know very well of the problems involving the Christmas tree. It's far too tempting for little hands and paws to grab the decorations. This can lead to accidents and breakages - avoid the drama and get yourself a half Christmas tree.

What's a half Christmas tree you ask? Well, it's one that has no branches in the bottom half, so that there's plenty of space at the bottom. This is also great for those of you that like to put all of the presents under the tree.

How about this 6ft Snow Covered Parasol Tree* for £39.99 at Studio, it's a fab price but you will need to be quick as this one sells out very quickly.

Argos sell two different kinds; Argos Home 6ft Half Parasol Christmas Tree - Green*at £45 and the beautiful Argos Home 6ft Snowy Half Christmas Tree* for £50.

Pencil Christmas Tree

Another way to save space is to opt for a pencil Christmas tree. As the name suggests, these are slender trees that really don't take up much room at all.

They have a distinct modern look too, so they can look really striking in a the right setting. Even though they are thin, they are also tall and don't even need decorated if you don't want to.

Many retailers sell pencil Christmas trees, but this 6ft Green Snowy Slim Tree* is beautiful and great value at £25 at Asda George. How about this Grey Ombre Fibre Optic Pencil Tree from JD Williams, prices start from just £35 and go up to £89. It's even pre-lit!

Rainbow Christmas Tree

Last year saw John Lewis & Partners launch the first Rainbow Christmas Tree in the UK, but it wasn't exactly cheap. This year more retailers are joining in with the rainbow theme, and thankfully they're much more reasonably priced. The Argos Rainbow Christmas Tree* comes in at £35 and is selling fast!

Wilko also have the 5ft Slim Rainbow Artificial Tree*down to £25 from £30 but be quick as this keeps selling out!

Pink Christmas Tree

Sometimes traditional just ain't you, when that's the case, you need a pink Christmas tree. Argos sell a the Home 4ft Christmas Tree* and it's an awesome "Pink" colour. It's very reasonably priced at just £12.99. This 4ft Pink Christmas Tree* is super sweet and at just £8 from B&Q it's a bit of a bargain too.

Upside Down Christmas Tree

This Half Upside Down Flocked Christmas Treeis definitely going to become a major talking point for all your festive visitors. It's £50.99 at Wayfair and is selling super fast! Plus, think of all the extra presents you can fit underneath!
