Once more, we saw the truth in the adage ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ as the slim Christmas trees gain popularity. The slender trees are ideal for small spaces to counter the space crunch in households as it needs minimal floor area to stand upon. Slim Christmas trees follow similar trends created by skinny jeans, thin phones, and narrow ties. But there is a difference. Slim jeans, slim phones, and slim ties are developments to fulfill the aesthetic needs of users, whereas slim Christmas trees serve the purpose of aesthetics and functionality. Besides looking beautiful, the trees perfectly fit within small spaces that enhance their usefulness many more times. Here are some slim pencil Christmas tree decorating ideas to light up the festive season. But what’s behind the popularity of slim Christmas trees?
Why Should you buy a Slim Christmas Tree?
Space constraint is one of the most important reasons to buy a modern skinny Christmas tree. You can place a 15 feet tall tree circumference of 18 inches, making it perfect for tucking in one corner of the room. The trees look lovely at any corner because of their slender structure. The trees are easier to store and cost less than the broader versions. Besides all such functionalities, the attractive looks of the trees is a reason for their widespread popularity. The trees look elegant when decorated with some thought.
Although the slim Christmas trees are almost half the width of standard Christmas trees, and the narrowest ones can be as slim as 18 inches, there are plenty of decorating options. For a boho-style look, place the tree in a basket.

The tree looks colorful because of the ornaments you place on it, but you must follow the 60-30-10 rule in ornament selection, precisely its color. Ensure that the color of 60% ornaments represents the basic theme and constitutes the primary color. 30% of ornaments should be of the secondary color, and the remaining 10% should accentuate the color shade.

Use 3D Décor
