Although you may think you have the tiniest apartment in town, there are plenty of people struggling with the same space-related issues as you — especially when it comes to decorating for the holidays. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for an apartment that's lacking in Christmas cheer. Whether you only have room for a small tabletop tree or are looking for something with a bit of a slimmer profile to fit in a cozy corner, we found 12 of the best small Christmas trees that can go just about anywhere. Plus, they're all faux trees, so you won't have to worry about cleaning up any pine needles.
So if you’re tired of having to go hunting for compact options when it comes to furnishing just about every room in your small space, consider this list our Christmas present to you. Go for a battery operated pine that won’t limit you to a space with an outlet or bring on the holiday cheer with a small yet mighty red and green sequined tree. Just because you don’t have the space for a 12-footer doesn’t mean you can’t bring the same (if not more) Christmas magic to your home this holiday season.
Instead of digging online for a tree that may or may not fit in your space, browse through some of our favorites that are bound to light up your living room — or window sill or coffee table — this December.
