Hanging Wall Art

The easiest substitute for a Christmas tree? A picture of one, of course—you can print or purchase your own version and simply hang it on a wall. The post-holiday tear down is equally as breezy: just roll up and store away until next year.

Winterberries

Few things look more festive than an armful of red winterberries, so why not use them in lieu of a tree? Pick up a bundle from your local gardening or craft store and place them in a glass jar with a number of ornaments. A collection of fallen branches works just as well.

Ornament Mobile

If you’re feeling extra crafty, this show-stopping ornament mobile is sure to make a statement for the holidays. Made from a steamer rack and jewellery string, the floating tree is hung from the ceiling, which saves precious square footage and allows ample room for presents below.

String Lights

A string of lights is all this makeshift tree requires. Opt for an all-white version for a chic, minimalist look or play with multi-coloured bulbs for a jollier feel. Don’t forget to top it off with a star!

All Washi Tape

Washi Tape Tree

Available in a rainbow of colours and playful patterns, washi tape is a DIY-er’s dream. Use the Japanese adhesive to create the outline of a traditional evergreen, plus any decorations you fancy.

Dressed Up Houseplant

Take advantage of an existing houseplant by dressing it up in place of a tree. Whether your plant is living or artificial, the addition of a few bulbs or handmade ornaments will have it feeling like the real deal in no time. Additionally, indoor palms or cacti make for particularly cool Christmas centrepieces.

A Beautiful Mess

DIY Pallet Tree

This rustic interpretation of a Christmas tree is made from recycled pallets, some elbow grease and a little bit of imagination. The wood acts as a neutral backdrop so you can hang an assortment of decor on it, though we’re quite fond of the idea to use it as an advent calendar.
