IKEA has just launched the ultimate small space Christmas tree - it’s a game-changer if you have a tiny home
I can’t wait to see the Ikea hacks that come from this stylish decoration


IKEA is the master of small space design, and they have transferred these skills to their Christmas range with the ultimate space-saving Christmas tree.
As part of the Vinterfint collection, IKEA has designed an alternative Christmas tree in pine that can easily be mounted onto the wall. So even if you have no floor space at all you can still get into the festive spirit. Priced at £13 it is incredibly affordable for an alternative Christmas tree and is perfect as a budget Christmas decor idea.
The Vinterfint wall decoration is designed in the shape of a Christmas tree, however, it has a flexible construction so that it can be pulled horizontally to fit your wall perfectly. Then when you’re done with it in January it can be folded up and put away easily.
On its own, the wall-mounted decoration looks more like a pine hanging rack. However, that is the beauty in its design. The tree shape is dotted with hooks for you to personalise it with your own baubles and fairy lights.
‘Inspired by a common knob rack, I designed VINTERFINT wall decoration in pine. The flexible construction looks like an accordion that you can pull out to the desired width and fill with Christmas tree ornaments, ‘ says the Ikea designer Mikael Axelsson on the brand's website. ‘ When Christmas is over, it’s easy to fold together and store – or use for jewellery and other accessories.'
Personally, I love the pine finish of the tree as it is and think it would look great hung with pinecones, garlands and felt decorations for a Scandi-inspired alternative Christmas tree idea. Or you can be inspired by Ikea’s styling of the piece and zig-zig lights around the hooks like a real tree, and tuck branches around them.
Like with many of Ikea’s pine furniture pieces, it can also be painted easily. You could give it a green lick of paint and tuck in green branches and fairy lights to further the illusion of a real tree mounted on the wall. Alternatively, why not go bold and embrace the pink Christmas decor trend by painting it a pastel pink or draping it with rose gold streamers?
