Our skinny Christmas tree that nestles into any space with ease. A pre-lit tree offers a magical glow and effortless decorating for the holidays.
Over the past 3 years, we’ve done a lot to make our cozy living room feel larger including removing the wet bar behind where the skinny Christmas tree is and wall between the foyer and living room, but the footprint hasn’t changed. It’s a small living room which demands a slim Christmas tree – and that’s okay!
Of course we all dream of grand spaces with high (coffered) ceilings, but it isn’t always a reality, so I chose a grand 7′ pre-lit tree that feels magical and is the perfect scale for the space. It doesn’t overwhelm our living room but adds so much whimsy and charm!
I absolutely love real trees; however given my job I tend to decorate a couple weeks prior to Thanksgiving and they just don’t last through Christmas. A pre-lit tree is always magical with lights strung throughout each and every branch – which is difficult to achieve with a real tree.
So I chose this 7.5′ Alpine Balsalm Fir and adorned it with pretty pink ornaments, jeweled Christmas tree garland, a starburst tree topper and platinum tree skirt.
The pearl and crystal garlands drape so effortlessly and have a sweet little bell at the end. The glow of the lights of the pre-lit tree make them twinkle.
I tied a few silk bows to the ends of branches throughout for a touch of effortless elegance.
The skinny Christmas tree nestles perfectly in the corner between our living room and kitchen. It’s seen from the moment you walk into our home and because it’s a pre-lit tree, you can also get a glimpse passing by on the street.
A slim Christmas tree is perfect for small spaces, breakfast rooms, kitchens, and even bedrooms!
Let the season begin!
I bought this exact tree this year but I’m having a difficult time storing it in the red balsam hill bag. The top segment which consists of two pieces put together will not come out. Were you able to store it as 4 pieces? As three segments, the top part of tree won’t fit in anything. I would appreciate if you can share how you were able to store it. Thx!!
The top piece is not intended to come apart, but rather a portion of it bend over to stow away. It’s confusing for sure!
Can you tell me the width of the tree . I need one to fit in a small space and I love the look of the sparse branches. In your photographs it appears to be at least 7 ft and narrow. But looking on the balsam hill website the width of that tree states 56 inches 🤔
Hi Lynsey!
I believe ours is only 48″ across as we have the 7.5 foot version. It’s called the Alpine Balsam Fir if that helps!
I’ve had several people purchase this tree as well, which looks quite similar in shape and size and is on sale right now- not sure if it’s any more slender though? (affiliate link) https://rstyle.me/+E_o2lRiwV_dM56KmtejFDw
Good luck!

I love how you decorate for the holidays! However, I don’t love Balsam Hill. This is our 2nd Christmas with a tree from them…our 3rd tree…and each one defective. We have asked for a refund and they have turned us down.
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve had really great luck with them.
Love love love your sweet tree my friend!! And we think alike!! 🙂 I have the frosted versions of these cuties dressed with the same pink baubles!! Love how your beautiful tree came out and so thrilled to be on this BH tour with you!!! xoxo
Thank you, Courtney! Your Christmas decorations are always an inspiration!
I bought this tree in the flocked version 9 feet. It is so beautiful and magical. Balsalm Hill trees are the best. Love how you decorated yours. So pretty!
Aren’t they? I bet the flocked is oh so pretty in your home!
This sweet little tree looks perfect in your living room.
Thank you, Danielle! Hope you enjoy the holiday season!
