Artificial Christmas Trees In Irish Home: Yes or No?

When it comes to the end of the year, it’s time to think about when you are going to buy your Christmas tree. Traditionally, natural trees have been the tree of choice in most houses as they have been along with the questionable quality of artificial Christmas trees in the past. But with innovations in manufacturing and sustainable materials, artificial Christmas trees have become a popular choice again, especially with the ability to re-use them year after year and not have to worry about recycling dead trees at the end of the season in January or dealing with the leaves falling on the floor which can be a huge hassle when you must clean them up every day.

The Advantages of Artificial Christmas Trees

An advantage of Artificial Christmas Trees is that they also have a wide selection of sizes making them suitable for homes and businesses. A home would be perfectly suited for a 7.5ft artificial Christmas tree for the living room that gives ample space for decorations while leaving enough clearing for the ceiling. Meanwhile 9ft and even large 12ft trees are ideal for businesses who want to make a splash. 12ft trees are perfect for Hotel receptions and foyers and also ideal for stores who want to make a large Christmas displays.

A key feature in artificial Christmas trees is that you can also buy prelit artificial Christmas trees. These include long lasting LED lights woven between the branches. You simply just plug in the tree and it will illuminate. With modern LED technology, Christmas tree lights are made to have incredibly long longevity and shine with the same. They also use significantly less power than Christmas lights from the past making them an energy efficient way to light up your Christmas tree.

Artificial Christmas Trees Big and Small

The rise of artificial Christmas trees as a sustainable and valid choice has also opened sizes that veer on the smaller size.Smaller trees can be placed around your home. With a size typically of 1.5ft to 3ft. These trees are fantastic for smaller spaces in your home. But can also be used in offices and shops. These artificial Christmas trees are made with the same attention to detail as their larger brethren and are a fantastic way to set up small displays and create a festive atmosphere with a smaller footprint.

Typically, the time to shop for your Christmas tree is late November when sellers put their natural Christmas trees up for sale and stores have their Christmas displays up. But with artificial Christmas trees, you can buy even earlier and store them away, ready to be put up in December. Typically, most Irish homes put up Christmas decorations in early December which makes having your Christmas tree ready paramount. Especially as retailers will be running out of stock quite quickly, so it’s essential to buy the tree you want with plenty of time to spare before you start putting up your Christmas decorations.

Why Should You Buy an Artificial Christmas Tree from Christmasland?

Why should you buy an Artificial tree over the natural trees you buy every year? Natural trees can only be used once and have an expiration date. Natural trees can also be extremely messy with pine leaves falling off and getting everywhere in your presents at the bottom of the tree and requiring a lot of use of the hoover. Getting a tree every year also adds up in costs over time for a tree that is only usable for a few weeks. With an artificial Christmas tree, you can have the realism of a natural Christmas tree, but without any of the mess and hassle a natural tree brings you.
