The Christmas tree arch you never knew you needed

From Prima

Planning a Christmas party this year? If the space allows, you might want to invest in a Christmas tree arch to create a real statement in your home.

Perfect for festive parties, as a grand entrance or even a Christmas grotto, these arches are just waiting to be dressed in twinkling fairy lights for the ultimate seasonal look.

This 8ft tree arch from B&Q is only suitable for indoor use but boasts 1,890 tips and the flexibility to style in any way you wish. Clip on tree decorations will work really well here as opposed to hanging ornaments.

All you have to do is fluff up the branches, decorate as you wish and you’re good to go.

There's also this 8ft arch by The Seasonal Aisle which is a definite showstopper. The artificial archway is filled with 900 soft white LED lights so it saves time on the decorating – with a design like this less is more here – and features hinged branches for a quick and easy setup.

If you’re looking to buy an actual Christmas tree this year, firstly decide whether you want a real or artificial tree – if real, take a look at all the varieties available to buy depending on its shape, scent and how prone it is to dropping needles.

If artificial, choose from pre-lit, pop-up or cleverly-designed space saving trees.

Happy Christmas tree shopping!
