Christmas Tree Skirts & Stands

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you place a Christmas tree skirt?

Once you've finished decorating your tree with baubles and tree lights, you can place your Christmas tree skirt. First, fan out the skirt so that it covers the tree base. Then wrap the skirt fabric around the tree stand. Depending on the Christmas tree skirt you've got, you should be able to button it up or tie it at one end to keep it in place.

Can you wash a Christmas tree skirt?

You should check your tree skirt packaging or tag to make sure whether it's safe to wash in a machine or should be drycleaned.

Generally, tree skirts are machine washable, but some may need to be hand washed or professionally laundered. Skirts made of natural, hard materials, such as grass or willow, shouldn't be cleaned in a washing machine.

How do you choose a Christmas tree skirt?

When deciding on the size of your Christmas tree skirt, you should find one that's at least 15cm bigger than the full width of your tree. The style of Christmas tree skirt will depend on the kind of aesthetic you want to achieve with your Christmas decorations. You can browse our Christmas decorating ideas on our blog.

Families with children might also want to avoid choosing a tree skirt or base that won't be a trip hazard. In this case, it might be better to choose a small tree skirt so there isn't a lot of excess fabric. If you want a natural or rustic atmosphere, an eco-friendly tree skirt made from woven grass or willow might be the best option for your Christmas tree.
