What is the purpose of a tree skirt?
Tree skirts and collars are made for decorating the base of a Christmas tree and can polish the look of your festive centrepiece. As well as catching fallen ornaments and pine needles, they provide the perfect setting for laying out Christmas presents and hide the stands supporting the tree at its base.
How do I choose a tree skirt or collar?
There are a few factors – including floor space, size and colour – to think of when it comes to choosing the right skirt or collar for your tree come the silly season. If you have limited floor space in your living or dining room, a collar might better suit your tree, whereas if you want to minimise mess shed from branches, a skirt would be the way to go. Be sure to note the size of your Christmas tree itself before choosing an adequately sized skirt or collar – as well as figuring out the colour scheme of your festive décor!
