When it comes to decorating for the holiday season, the base of my Christmas tree is usually the last thing on my mind. It’s always hidden beneath presents and gift bags, so I never thought twice about replacing the hand-me-down tree skirt I’ve been using for years.
But this year, I realized I’d been suffering from what I can only call “Christmas skirt blindness.” When I brought it down from the attic, I finally saw how tired it looked – and how much it was bringing down the overall look of my tree. So I’m swapping it for something more robust and on-trend: this woven $16.99 Christmas Tree Collar from ALDI.
With its woven hyacinth material and light, neutral color, this tree collar adds a touch of rustic yet elevated style to your Christmas tree ideas. Like a sleek vase for a fresh bouquet, it provides a stylish foundation upon which the tree, its lights, and its decorations can shine. Its natural weave complements the fresh elegance of the tree perfectly – giving the whole display a cohesive, sophisticated finish.
Crate & Barrel's Scalloped Fiber Christmas Tree Collar is a chic choice for the base of your tree. In this living room, the tree is complete with Ceramic White Brownstone Tree Ornaments, Gold Scalloped Photo Frame Ornaments, and Red and White Thin Striped Glass Ball Ornaments.
This season's Christmas trends are guiding us towards effortlessly elegant decor displays with natural charm – just like the cozy and inviting aesthetic of the Little Women Christmas trend – and woven tree collars can easily help achieve that look. Their natural weave invites a level of charming, textural appeal that flat tree skirts can't replicate.
Looks aside, woven tree collars serve a practical purpose, too – they conveniently conceal the base of a tree. Most variations are tall enough to hide the tree stand and water reservoir for a real Christmas tree – or, for an artificial tree, they can hide support legs much better than traditional skirts. Woven tree collars won’t wrinkle or get pushed out of position like tree skirts either. Instead, they stay sturdy in place, giving your tree a stylish spot to stand tall in any room of your home.
A tree collar might not be the first thing you add to your tree, but it’s the finishing touch – without which the base of the tree looks bare and unfinished. I’m of the opinion that no tree should go without one.
