Our Favorite Christmas Tree Skirt Ideas

The tree skirt can easily be overlooked when planning holiday decor, but similar to your tree topper, it’s a final touch that completes the overall look of your tree. The right skirt can serve as a focal point, while doing triple duty to cover the unsightly tree stand and collect falling pine needles. (Though, let's face it, you'll still be finding pine needles until next November). Christmas tree skirts come in many styles, textures, patterns and colors, so there are a multitude of  options to choose from to match your home decor. To help you find the perfect tree skirt, we've put together this list of some of our favorites styles!

Stripe Fun

If you are aiming to keep it merry and bright this year, this joyful skirt by Coton Colors is crafted from high-quality linen with super fun pom-poms.

Plaid

This plaid holiday tree skirt by Hearth & Hand is a festive green and white, and will add a little farmhouse charm to your decor. Measuring 52 inches in diameter, it offers plenty of space to cover the width of your tree and to fill up with presents. We love mixing this simple skirt with classic red and green or boho, neutral decorations. It is super versatile and understated.

Felt

This beautiful and unique pom pom wool felt tree skirt is handcrafted, comes in red or white, and measures 54 inches in diameter, big enough to accommodate a wide tree and lots of presents. Since this skirt is not patterned, it can pair with any type of home decor. With its gorgeous, detailed pom pom edging and closure, this is a great investment piece that can be used for years to come, no matter how many times you change your color scheme and room style. 

This felt stars tree skirt is a simple, elegant skirt, beautifully embroidered with tiny gold stars. Handmade in Nepal from felted wool, it is 48 inches in diameter. This delicate skirt will look great with or without any gifts under the tree! 

Embroidered Velvet

With gold stitching on red velvet, this beautifully embroidered tree skirt from Balsam Hill could have stepped out of the Victorian Era.  This 72” version will cover the grandest of spaces, but if your parlor is slightly smaller, a 60” version is also available.

Woven Tree Collar

If you want to try something new this Christmas for your tree skirt, this rustic farmhouse Christmas tree collar available on Amazon is a unique twist on the tree skirt. This modern alternative to a skirt, is a woven basket that surrounds and hides your tree stand. Made of natural fiber, it lends a simple and chic look to your tree. Just check the size before you buy to ensure it will fit around your stand.

The tree collar has been gaining popularity in the last couple of years, and is sure to be a big hit this year. We love its uniqueness and versatility to still pair with a tree skirt, fake snow or other decorations. While it will look great around real or artificial trees, remember that it will not be as efficient as a skirt in catching pine needles. 

Classic Wool

This Clara Tree Skirt is a neutral brown and white plaid design that will complement any decor. This skirt will give your tree a simple, cozy foundation and not distract from your gorgeous ornaments. It is made of wool and can be purchased in either 48” or 56” diameter. 

Faux Fur

Faux Fur is a great way to add a cozy texture to your tree and home. Simple, sophisticated, and modern, the ivory  Lodge Faux Fur Tree Skirt is both plush and luxe!  This high quality skirt comes in 48”, 60” and 70”, and is available in a rich stone color as well.
