Have you seen pictures of Christmas trees that really seem more like slightly sad Charlie Brown Christmas trees? \u00a0However, they magically turn into the most beautiful trees that feel incredibly cozy and sentimental? \u00a0Decorating a sparse Christmas tree is a really easy way to create a statement piece in your home.<\/strong> \u00a0At the same time, it may end up being one of the most beautiful Christmas decorations you get to enjoy this time of year!<\/p>\n First, let me say that I don’t think there is one kind of Christmas tree that is better than another kind.<\/strong> \u00a0Actually, if you were to line up all of the trees from our home, you’d find everything from $25 trees that we’ve had for many years to investment pieces. \u00a0Furthermore, you would find many different styles: skinny tree, sparse tree, some with a fuller look, real tree, flocked tree, faux tree, unlit trees, larger tree, and everything in between!!!<\/p>\n Let’s take a look at this fun tree style and how you may want to incorporate it into your Christmas home decor for a festive look that is also super cozy!<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image title_text=”20201117 – Vintage Christmas Collections (4)” admin_label=”IMG blog graphic” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”What is the new Christmas tree trend?” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Minimalist, organic, or vintage style trees are on trend again this year (2023).<\/strong> \u00a0This sparse type of tree is found in Aspen or Fir trees and they are beautiful! \u00a0We will chat about some specific ways to decorate them. \u00a0However, as with most any style of tree, you can tweak any of the ideas below to fit the tree you already have too!<\/p>\n If you are looking for a simple Christmas tree, an Aspen or Fir type of tree is perfect for holiday decorating!<\/strong> \u00a0Not only do many of these faux trees have a very realistic look, but they are also a gorgeous tree to leave undecorated or to decorate. \u00a0At the same time, this kind of sparse artificial Christmas tree is perfect for almost any room of the home and works great in small spaces too.<\/p>\n I will show you two kinds of sparse artificial Christmas tree styles that I enjoy in our home. \u00a0There are many different ways to enjoy them during the holiday season<\/strong> and I’ll show you how I like to style ours. \u00a0Also, I’ll show you some other ideas that I haven’t tried yet but would like to sometime!<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Are sparse Christmas trees in style?” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I can confidently give a huge YES to this question! \u00a0The sparse Christmas tree is definitely in style and I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon.<\/strong> \u00a0That being said, the traditional full tree is a Christmas tree look that will definitely never go out of style. \u00a0The fun thing is that you can use both kinds within the same style of home!<\/p>\n A sparse Christmas tree style is often found in a home with a more modern decor style OR in a home that is minimal in nature.<\/strong> \u00a0However, my home is neither of those styles and I think my sparse tree works well. \u00a0The reason for this is that the sparse tree is also found with Scandinavian style Christmas trees and home decor. \u00a0The Scandinavian style is very natural, organic, and neutral in style with vintage and rustic accents.<\/p>\n Vintage, rustic, and neutral are the keywords there that really make the sparse Christmas tree style work well in not only my home, but many of the vintage farmhouse home decor styles too.<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Table of Contents DRAFT” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Family-room-2-scaled.jpeg” alt=”view of a family room with a white couch styled for Christmas with a French horn gallery wall” title_text=”Family room 2″ admin_label=”IMG family room 2″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”BLOG TITLE” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”1. Decorating a Sparse Christmas Tree with a Natural Look” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n One of the things that makes the look of a sparse Christmas tree so cozy to me is the very natural and simple look. \u00a0Sparse branches can simply be left undecorated and still look so beautiful, especially with cozy lights. \u00a0In our back living room, we have a tree that I would describe as “medium sparse,”<\/u><\/a><\/strong> if that’s a thing. \u00a0Haha! \u00a0Basically, it doesn’t have skimpy branches but it also isn’t a really full tree like our main Christmas tree is.<\/p>\n Since it is a smaller, more simple style, it is perfect to add in a cozy corner and let the twinkle lights make everything cozy all by themselves! \u00a0I love how it feels very natural and organic. \u00a0For really simple, easy Christmas decor, invest in a pretty tree with semi-sparse branches<\/u><\/a><\/strong>, fluff it out, light it up, and just enjoy!<\/p>\n You can shop my semi-sparse tree HERE<\/u><\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0It comes in a couple of different heights. \u00a0Mine is the 6.5′ height, which is perfect for this cozy corner!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Back-living-room-1-scaled.jpeg” alt=”living space with a sparse Christmas tree styled in the corner with twinkle lights ” title_text=”Back living room 1″ admin_label=”IMG back living room 1″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=” 2.

Decorating a Sparse Christmas Tree with the Right Tree Skirt” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A tree skirt or a tree collar is a really great opportunity to make a big impact but often is an after thought. \u00a0(Speaking from experience because as I type, I’m remembering that the tree in our game room still doesn’t have a tree skirt or anything to cover the tree stand! \u00a0Haha!)\u00a0 Adding a tree skirt with interest and texture will give even a sparse style tree a more substantial look.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bWhether you choose to use a tree skirt or one of the tree collars, there are endless styles available, it seems! \u00a0However, this is an item that I think is worth investing in as you will use it year after year after year!<\/p>\n You can use a tree skirt as a fun way to add a pop of color.<\/strong> \u00a0On the other hand, you may want to carefully choose your tree skirt to have a cohesive look with the rest of your room, such as blending or coordinating with pillow covers, stockings, or throw blankets.<\/p>\n One budget-friendly way I have used to create my own tree skirt is by using fabrics that I already have. \u00a0A pretty tablecloth can make a great tree skirt! \u00a0In fact, that’s what I still need to pull out of the closet for that game room tree – a plain ‘ole white tablecloth. \u00a0But, it does the trick and just subtly blends in well.<\/p>\n Our big family tree is an artificial tree but I love setting it up early to enjoy for the season. \u00a0We use a vintage rice basket as a base.<\/strong> \u00a0Then, to cover the actual tree stand, I use one of my long, vintage grain sacks. \u00a0The vintage fabric coordinates perfectly with the style of our home and holiday decorations. \u00a0At the same time, it is something I already have on hand so that has saved me a purchase for all of these years!<\/p>\n Here are some pretty tree skirt and tree collar options if you need one this year:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Tree-in-basket–scaled.jpg” alt=”smaller real-touch tree inside a dark brown woven basket” title_text=”Tree in basket” admin_label=”IMG tree in basket” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Tree-in-ironstone-.jpg” alt=”view of advent boxes in a cubby with a small tree in an ironstone dish” title_text=”Tree in ironstone” admin_label=”IMG tree in ironstone” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”4.
