Perfect for small spaces, IKEA’s clever Christmas tree alternative brings festive cheer to even the tiniest homes
IKEA's latest wall-mounted Christmas decoration is the smart, stylish answer for small-space Christmas cheer. It's the perfect, minimal-footprint alternative to a traditional tree – ideal for compact living or adding a festive flourish to a child’s room.
Crafted from pine with compact living in mind, IKEA's VINTERFINT Wall Decoration transforms any wall into a seasonal centerpiece, allowing you to embrace the magic of Christmas decorating without sacrificing valuable floor space. Its accordion-like design can be extended to the width and shape that best suits your room, offering a flexible and refined approach to holiday decorating.
Inspired by a simple knob rack, the VINTERFINT features 37 hooks, perfect for hanging baubles, fairy lights, sprigs of greenery, or even small gifts. Its versatility makes it ideal for playful decorating, and its modest footprint ensures that even the tiniest of homes – or a children’s room – can embrace the holiday spirit. Once Christmas is over, the wall tree folds neatly away, making storage effortless and convenient – a thoughtful detail for anyone short on space.
‘Decorating for Christmas in small spaces can feel challenging, but the VINTERFINT is a delight,’ says Hebe Hatton, Head of Interior at Homes & Gardens. ‘I love how versatile the design is, especially for creative types or children – it encourages playful, imaginative decorating without ever feeling cluttered.’
Designer Mikael Axelsson explains the inspiration behind the piece: ‘It can be tricky to fit a traditional Christmas tree, especially if you live in a small space. That’s why I decided to create an alternative.’ The result is a design that is at once practical, playful, and elegant, bringing the charm of a festive tree to modern interiors without overwhelming them.
Transform any wall into your festive focal point with the IKEA Wall Decoration. Crafted from pine and priced at just $19.99, this clever, space-saving Christmas alternative extends to fit your exact wall width and features 37 hooks to hang baubles, lights, or sprigs of greenery. It folds away neatly after the season, making it a perfectly practical way to embrace holiday cheer without cluttering your floor space.
The VINTERFINT wall decoration is part of IKEA's 2025 Christmas collection, which features elements inspired by Scandinavian folk art and woodland motifs. Alongside the tree, the range includes patterned stockings, reusable advent calendars, and ornaments that echo the natural beauty of Swedish winter landscapes.
