A white or snow-flocked tree gives you that just-snowed look without the mess, and it suits a brighter, more modern room where a dark green tree can feel heavy. The flocking sits on the branch tips, so coloured lights and baubles still stand out against it.

Start with height. Measure from floor to ceiling and leave room for the topper, then pick a tree a little shorter than that gap. A 6ft tree suits most living rooms, 7ft and 7.5ft make a statement if you have the height, and a 2.5ft or 60cm tabletop tree works on a desk, sideboard or small flat. Pencil and slim shapes fit tight corners and hallways.
