Rattan Christmas trees are the new festive trend - they're a chic tree alternative for any-sized space

With Christmas right around the corner, new decoration trends and ideas are popping up everywhere. But one particularly chic new addition has caught our attention.

Whether you're looking for a new Christmas tree alternative this year or don't want to fill your home with bold colours just for the festive season, rattan Christmas trees are the new, refined tree on the block. We've seen them pop up in a few of our favourite retailers' festive offerings with a style and size that could suit every home.

So if you are a fan of the warm minimalist look and want to keep your stripped-back aesthetic even through the holidays, a rattan tree might be just what your home needs.

We've already seen new, unconventional colour trends take off this Christmas, so it's no surprise that other less traditional decorations are trending too.

And although we'll always love a good-quality artificial tree, these rattan alternatives are too charming to pass up. They're ideal if you're limited on space but still want to have a Christmas centrepiece in your room to place presents around before the big day arrives.

No matter what your budget is or how much room you're able to sacrifice for the festivities, there are endless designs to choose from. The illuminated versions are the perfect way to make your home feel cosy during the holidays.

Should you be open to trying a new Christmas decoration idea, then you'll be able to find a tree style to fit your space. Whether you only have a tabletop surface to spare or you splurge and find a taller design to sit proudly in the corner.

These wicker and rattan alternatives are a more sustainable choice for your home too; there's no plastic involved, and they last much, much longer than a real fir tree would. They're also a real help if you've got pets or children that have a habit of knocking decorations over.

We've seen more minimalist tree alternatives rise in popularity before, with artificial moss ball trees being the trend just last year. So whilst the nostalgic Christmas decor looks are still well loved, there is certainly a yearning for a sophisticated decking of the halls.

If you struggle with decorating your home after Christmas, then some styles of rattan trees are ideal to keep up throughout the whole of winter. If they don't have a particularly Christmas style, they're ideal for an autumn-winter transitional look.
