Ask anyone where they put their Christmas tree and you’re going to get a different answer. Some people have it as the centre of their living room while others make sure it’s next to the biggest window facing out onto the street so that other people can see it too. Either way, where you put your tree is a big decision but it all comes down to your preference and the way you have set the furniture in the room.

Common locations

Two of the most common places to put a Christmas tree are next to the fireplace or next to the television. If these happen to be close enough to a window that you can put your tree in such a place that the whole world can see it, even better! While you don’t want to detract from anything else in your room, you only have the tree for a short while compared to everything else you own so it’s definitely worth getting the most out of it you can.

Our Satara Mango furniture range comes in three colours, light, dark and medium so no matter what colour and style of furniture you own, or how you want to decorate your tree, you can make sure the tree stands out or fits into your room’s décor easily. If you have mirrors that you can move, place these strategically near the tree to add more weight to your Christmas décor, and we’d recommend our Satara Dark Mango Wall Mirror, which matches the deeper colour of the trees wood and will catch any lights better.

Finding the right TV unit to compliment your Christmas tree can be a bit more challenging. The size and shape of your room, as well as your furniture and layout all play a big part. If your TV unit is against a single wall, then it becomes easier to move it to accommodate a Christmas tree – if you want the two pieces together. If you have a corner unit, like the Satara Mango Dakota Large Drawer Corner TV Unit, it may involve you moving other pieces to make some space. Corner units are also generally near a window so this can allow you to find a prime spot for your tree while letting the outside world see it too.

Go real or artificial?

There’s no denying that a real Christmas tree brings some vitality and freshness to any room however it is also very messy. The more time you have your tree up and decorated, the more pines you will find on your floor – and this gets worse with children or pets that will always be fascinated by the new addition to your room. You can’t beat the authentic look, feel and atmosphere a real Christmas tree brings you…or can you?

Over the years, artificial trees have grown in popularity for a number of reasons. They can be used year after year with no degradation and this will save you plenty of money. They can also be as tall as you want, so if you want a smaller tree that can be put on a side table, like our Satara Mango Dakota Trio Table Nest, that will give it a larger presence or a larger tree that can go next to your TV or fireplace, you can find the right Christmas tree for your home and family.
