Tabletop Trees Are the Answer to Small Space Holiday Decorating – and I've Found the Most Stylish Options For Every Room

I recently moved into my first apartment, and while I'm loving the big city, I'm still getting used to life in a small space. The catch is: I adore the holidays, and I've always had some larger-than-life Christmas tree ideas. So although I'll be scaling down my grand visions this year, I won't be sacrificing style (or festive cheer) thanks to a carefully-chosen tabletop tree.

I know – tabletop trees aren't exactly revolutionary – But if I've recently discovered options that feel chic, elevated, and (crucially) durable. I might not have real pine needles to contend with, but I don't want to invest in a tree that's likely to lose a few plastic branches or its seasonal sparkle by the time I get it out of storage next year.

As the holidays approach, I'm determined to use every spare inch of my apartment to show off my Christmas decorating ideas. And after searching for the very best tabletop trees, I've come to the conclusion that a petite spruce can look just as magical as a towering, Hallmark-style beauty: you just need to start with a good foundation.

And, mini trees aren't just for small apartments like mine; they're ideal for bringing holiday magic to entryways, bedrooms, and even dining tables. So if you do have space to display a full-sized tree in your home, there's no reason not to add a few smaller ones into the mix, too.

Below, you'll find a selection of my favorite tabletop Christmas trees – so no matter the square footage of your home, you can be sure it looks like a festive wonderland.
