How to pick the right Christmas tree skirt for your tree

From endless design and fabric options to different shapes and sizes, picking out the best tree skirt for your Christmas tree might be more complicated than you think, but it's truly a personal preference. King of Christmas merchandiser Martha M. says personal design and size are the two main factors when choosing the best tree skirts for your tree.  

"Firstly, you have to consider what's your overall theme for the tree, Martha said. "Is it rustic farmhouse, winter wonderland, classic red and green?"  

While you're figuring out the best Christmas tree theme, Martha told w&h to consider choosing a color that goes well with your theme and also contrasts with your floor for a visually appealing look. 

When finding the perfect size tree skirt, Martha says you first have to decide if you want an oversized or fitted tree skirt. 

"For a more fitted look, we recommend your tree skirt to be a little larger than the diameter of your stand but smaller than the diameter of the tree's outer branches. If you are more into the oversized look or expecting to have a lot of presents under your tree, we recommend sizing up." 

And if you want a switch from the classic tree skirt to the trendy tree collar, Martha says tree collars are meant to be tucked under the tree and should be slightly larger than the tree stand's diameter.
