Christmas Tree Space Constraints in Singapore – Yes, You Have Space!
Oct
Contents:
Space constraints in Singaporean homes is a real issue. The high population and limited land area result in most homes being high rise, and are major factors in high property prices and small homes. A Housing Development Board (HDB) unit is typically 800 to 1400 square feet in size. Private apartments and condominiums are not that far off. These homes house most families in Singapore, and sharing of rooms is common. As a result, storage space is often sacrificed to maximise liveable area. Creative methods such as the use of multi-purpose furniture are necessary to optimise for space.
Most will assume that setting up a Christmas tree during the festive season would be highly impractical for such small homes. Fortunately for Singaporeans, that is not the case. You still can own a Christmas tree to turn your home into a Christmas Wonderland. And you should!
There are many beliefs about small spaces not being suitable for Christmas trees that are highly inaccurate. Many home owners also believe that they are restricted to certain types of trees due to space constraints. Here are some tips to ensure that your family does not miss out on the largest holiday event of the year in Singapore:
Slim Christmas Trees
The misconception: short trees for small homes: Most people think that they should get a smaller or shorter tree if they have space constraints. Most customers enquire about a 5 ft (150 cm) height tree, thinking that their space would be able to accommodate for it. And we always have to explain to them that a short tree doesn’t necessarily take up less space.
Short trees are actually often wide and fat: A good Christmas tree manufacturer such as Masons Home Decor has trees that are extremely dense and very wide. A small 5-foot tree can have a width measuring to over 80 cm. Short as the tree may be, its large width will still be a challenge for a typical 4-room or 3-room flat to accommodate, especially if you have kids and grandparents living under the same roof.
Slim trees to the rescue: In contrast, some of the slim Christmas trees sold at Masons Home Decor are an impressive 6 feet in height but have a small width of only 60 cm. A tree like this would still be dense, bushy and beautiful, but with its width measuring merely 60 cm, it only requires a 70 cm width space for setting up. The best part? You get a taller tree at the end of the day, despite this tree requiring lesser space in your home! Check out these two hot sellers below:

You do notice the trees above are trimmed and they look extremely dense and beautiful.
Homes in Singapore are small, but most do have a height of at least 8 feet. Having a taller tree set up is always going to enhance the overall look of your space. The takeaway here is to look out for trees with a smaller width, rather than a tree with a shorter height.

Propping Up Your Tree
Many small homes only have a maximum width space of 100 cm or 120 cm for a Christmas tree. Usually, trees small enough to fit into such a space will come in shorter heights of 5ft or 6ft. But what if your house has a high ceiling and you would love for your tree to look grander and more imposing? The solution is easy: elevate the height of your tree!
This is where you can prop up your Christmas trees on a box, or some unwanted books. So long as the base is flat and sturdy enough to support the weight of the Christmas tree, and wide enough to hold the stand of the tree, you are good to go. Simply surround this new Do-it-Yourself base with some fake wrapped up Christmas presents, and you now enjoy a beautifully dense and wide hyper realistic Christmas tree, now with additional height for a even more spectacular look.
It is common for customers to prop up a 5 ft or 6 ft Hyper Realistic Christmas tree.
