Choosing a 6ft pre-lit Christmas tree
A 6ft Christmas tree is not a lesser version of the main event. In the right room, it is the right tree. "If you live in a cottage with smaller proportions, I'd opt for our 6ft tree," says our design director, Fred. The same is true of any room where the ceiling sits low or floor space is tight.
What a 6ft tree gives up in height, it keeps in shape. Ours are modelled on the Nordmann Fir, full and symmetrical, with 2,599 tips spread over 42 branches, so the tree reads as a proper Christmas tree rather than a compromise. At 130cm across, it also asks for 20cm less floor space than a seven-foot tree, which in a smaller room is often the measurement that decides.
The 6ft pre-lit Christmas tree has 600 warm white micro-LEDs woven through those branches, ready as soon as it is standing.
The 6ft unlit Christmas tree is the same tree without them, for anyone who likes to choose and string their own lights.
Where a 6-foot Christmas tree fits best
Six feet is the height that fits the smaller rooms of a house. In a kitchen, a snug or a hallway wide enough to take its 130cm spread, a 6ft tree brings the full Nordmann Fir shape and warm light into a room that could not hold anything taller. The pre-lit tree weighs 9.6kg and comes in sections, so one person can carry it upstairs or from room to room.
For a tree you want finished quickly, our decorated Christmas tree sets bring a 6ft pre-lit tree, its decorations and a rattan skirt together in one order. Or begin with the tree alone and add the Silverton rattan tree skirt in its 6ft size, handwoven from natural rattan to mirror the tree's shape and hide the stand.
