A tree always looks smaller standing outside on the pitch than it does in your living room. The easiest way to get it right is to measure before you come.
1. Measure from floor to ceiling
Measure the spot where the tree will stand, not the middle of the room, especially if your ceiling slopes or has beams.
2. Leave about a foot
Take off roughly a foot: about 6 inches for the stand and 6 for your star or angel. That’s standard advice, and it stops the top bending against the ceiling.
3. Pick your size
Our trees come in one-foot bands. As a guide:
| Your ceiling | Tree to choose |
|---|---|
| 7ft | 5 to 6ft |
| 8ft | 6 to 7ft |
| 9ft | 7 to 8ft |
| 10ft | 8 to 9ft |
| Higher than 10ft | Ask us about a larger Premium tree |
Our trees run from 4ft to 9ft, and larger Premium trees are available on request.
4. Think about width and the way in
A fuller tree takes up more floor. Check the space around it, and measure the doors and stairs it has to come through. Every tree we sell is netted on the spot, which makes it much easier to get inside.
Still not sure?
