Artificial Christmas tree for office, shop, restaurant or hotel: what height and model to choose
Not only the height of the Christmas tree is important for commercial premises. It is necessary to take into account the area, ceiling height, crown diameter, distance to visitors and what role the tree should play perform in a festive design.
In a commercial space, the Christmas tree should correspond to the scale of the room
A model that looks big in an apartment, can just get lost in the hotel lobby, a spacious restaurant or a large store.
Therefore, it is worth evaluating for business not only the height of the tree, but also the diameter of the lower tier, distance to walls, passages, furniture and visitors.
If the Christmas tree should become the central element of the decor, it is better to choose a larger format. If it only complements the interior — a compact model is often quite enough.
First, measure not the Christmas tree, but the place for it
One of the most common mistakes is choose a tree only by height. In large models, the width of the crown is no less important.
Ceiling height
Leave a margin over the top, especially if you plan install a decorative tip.
Crown diameter
The Christmas tree must fit without blocking the passages and constant contact with furniture.
Type of room
For office, restaurant, shop and hotel lobby a different scale of decor is needed.
Distance to people
If visitors see the tree up close, quality and structure of needles become particularly noticeable.
Two Christmas trees of the same height can significantly differ in width. For example, in the catalog there are individual models with a height of 210 cm have a lower diameter of about 135–140 cm.
What height of artificial Christmas tree to choose for business
Below is a practical guideline. The final choice depends from the specific area and ceiling height.
Office, office, beauty salon, reception or a small shop.
Office, restaurant, showroom, shop or a small hall.
Spacious rooms, large shopping areas and restaurants.
Showroom, restaurant, big store hall or photo area.
Spacious hall, hotel, large store or a large-scale photo zone.
Christmas tree for the office: 180–210 cm is usually enough
For an ordinary office space too big a Christmas tree often creates more inconvenience, than a festive atmosphere.
180 cm convenient to consider for an office, a small reception area, salon or compact office.
210 cm looks better in a spacious reception room, open space or near the office entrance.
If the company has a large hall and a high ceiling, you can go over up to 230–250 cm.
The distance from which the Christmas tree can be seen is important for the store
In the retail space, the Christmas tree often performs not only a decorative function, but also draws attention to a certain area.
A small shop
For a compact retail outlet 180–210 cm is often enough. This format is clearly visible, but does not take up too much useful space.
A large store or showroom
If the Christmas tree is visible from a long distance, 230–300 cm should be considered, depending on the ceiling height and areas of the free zone.
Both scale and free aisles are important for a restaurant
In the institution, the Christmas tree should look festive, but do not interfere with the work of the staff and movement of guests.
180 cm
For a small hall or an additional decorative zone.
210–230 cm
A good universal format for most spacious restaurants.
250 cm
For a large hall, where the tree should stand central New Year's accent.
At the entrance
Consider opening the door, aisles and place for top decoration.
A small Christmas tree is often lost in a spacious hall
The hotel hall usually has a larger area, higher ceiling and longer sight lines, than an apartment or a regular office.
Therefore, for the central composition often more appropriate to consider 230, 250 or 300 cm.
Compact models 150–180 cm at the same time you can use in additional zones: near the elevator, on the floor, near the restaurant or in the waiting area.
Is it worth buying a cast Christmas tree for business?
It especially depends on how close the visitors are to the tree.
100% cast Christmas tree
A good option for reception, restaurant, showroom, hotel and other places where guests can look at the tree up close.
Combined Christmas tree
Can be a practical solution, if a large tree is needed, but the budget is limited. The outer part may have cast branches, and the inner one is PVC.
Green, blue or snowy?
It is better to choose the color of the Christmas tree under the interior and the general concept of decor.
Green
The most universal. Goes well together with almost any decor.
Blue
Fits well for modern interiors, silver and white design.
Snow covered
Already by itself creates a distinct winter effect and needs less decoration.
Without decoration
High-quality thick PE-pine may appear complete even with minimal decorations.
What to check before ordering a Christmas tree for business
Ceiling height
Consider the stand, top and necessary free space above the tree.
The width of the place
Check the diameter of the crown of the selected model, and not just its height.
Aisles
Christmas tree should not block the main routes guests or staff.
Storage location
Big models after the season need enough space for boxes or covers.
If you choose a Christmas tree for an apartment
For residential premises, the criteria are slightly different: compactness is usually important there, standard ceiling height and the amount of free space.
