❅ Size
Artificial trees come in a wide range of sizes from 3’ tabletop models to 12’ sizes for homes with vaulted ceilings or grand foyers. If you’re looking for a standard, full-sized tree, you’re likely going to find them in a height range of 6’ to 7.5’ to accommodate the 8’ ceilings in most homes. Artificial trees today also come in two or three different widths from full to narrow to slim. Think about the space your tree will occupy when you decide on height and width and remember that the narrower your tree is, the less branch length you’ll have for hanging ornaments.❅ Style
Though all artificial Christmas trees in Dallas, TX are made from the same materials – polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or molded polyethylene (PE) or a combination of both, tree styles can range from traditional to realistic depending on which material is used. Both can replicate the look of real pine, fir or other evergreens. If you’re looking for a nontraditional color, you can find trees in black, white, pink, silver and more. If it’s a traditional-looking tree you want, colors include a mix of greens, blues and blue/greens. For the most realistic appearance, look for trees that have brown coloring or wrapping on the trunk and branches. Some trees come with pinecones or holly berries attached or are sprayed with flocking to look snow-covered.❅ Lights
Artificial trees today can be purchased pre-lit with clear or multi-color LED or incandescent bulbs. The bulbs can twinkle, shimmer or even change colors. They can also be controlled with an attached foot pedal. The best trees feature stay-lit bulbs, which means that if one bulb burns out or is removed, the rest will still stay lit.
