Artificial Christmas Trees
Artificial Christmas trees for a realistic festive look
An artificial Christmas tree makes it easy to create a warm and festive atmosphere in your home, office or commercial space year after year. Intergard artificial Christmas trees are designed to combine a full, realistic appearance with easy assembly, simple decorating and convenient storage after the festive season.
The flexible branches can be shaped and arranged to create a natural silhouette, while different needle styles help give the tree more depth and volume. Once decorated with Christmas lights, baubles and garlands, a high-quality artificial tree becomes the centrepiece of your festive interior.
Unlike a real Christmas tree, an artificial model does not naturally shed needles and can be reused for many Christmas seasons when handled and stored correctly.

A reusable Christmas tree for home or business
A reusable artificial Christmas tree can be brought out whenever you are ready to start decorating, without the need to source a new tree each year.
Simply assemble the stand and tree sections, spread out the branches and shape the foliage before adding your favourite decorations.

What are our artificial Christmas trees made from?
Our artificial Christmas trees are made from synthetic materials selected to create a dense and realistic-looking tree. Depending on the model, different needle shapes and thicknesses may be combined to produce greater depth and a more natural appearance.
The branches are flexible and adjustable, allowing you to shape the tree after assembly and position individual branch tips to create a fuller silhouette.
Each tree is supplied with a suitable stand for stable indoor positioning. Always check the individual product specifications for exact dimensions, material composition and other technical details.
Artificial Christmas tree or real Christmas tree?
The choice between an artificial Christmas tree and a real Christmas tree depends largely on personal preference and how you want to use your Christmas decorations.
A real tree provides the natural scent, colour and irregular shape of a freshly cut conifer, but it normally needs to be replaced each year and may gradually shed needles indoors.
An artificial Christmas tree offers the advantage of reuse. After Christmas, it can be dismantled, stored and used again the following year. This makes it particularly practical for households, offices and businesses that want a consistent Christmas display each season.
How to choose the right artificial Christmas tree size
Before ordering, measure the area where you plan to place the tree. Consider both the available height and the overall width of the tree once its branches have been fully spread.
Leave enough room between the top of the tree and the ceiling, especially if you intend to add a star, angel or other tree topper.
For smaller living rooms or offices, a narrower tree may help preserve valuable floor space. In a large living room, entrance hall, showroom or reception area, a taller and fuller tree can create a more impressive festive display.
How to make an artificial Christmas tree look more realistic
The final appearance of a realistic artificial Christmas tree depends greatly on how carefully the branches are shaped. When first removed from its packaging, the tree will usually look more compact than it will after proper preparation.
Take time to spread each main branch and separate the smaller branch tips. Position some slightly upwards, some horizontally and others at a gentle downward angle. This creates more depth and helps fill visible gaps.
Adding lights deeper inside the tree before placing decorations on the outer branches can also improve the sense of depth and create a more natural-looking display.
How to assemble an artificial Christmas tree
- Choose the location: allow sufficient space around the tree and keep it away from heat sources.
- Assemble the stand: position it on a flat and stable surface.
- Build the tree: insert the individual sections in the correct order.
- Open the branches: start at the bottom and work upwards.
- Shape the foliage: spread the branch tips to create a full and balanced appearance.
- Add Christmas lights: distribute them evenly around the tree.
- Add decorations: finish with baubles, garlands and a tree topper.
How to decorate an artificial Christmas tree
Begin with the Christmas lights before adding other decorations. Place some lights deeper between the branches and others closer to the outside to create depth.
Next, distribute larger decorations evenly around the tree before filling smaller gaps with baubles, ornaments and decorative accessories.
The flexible branches make it easy to adjust individual areas so that heavier decorations can be supported correctly and the final tree remains balanced.
How to store an artificial Christmas tree
Correct storage helps preserve the shape of your artificial tree for future use. Start by removing all decorations and any separate Christmas lights.
Carefully fold the branches back towards the trunk and separate the tree into its individual sections. Store the parts in the original packaging or in a suitable Christmas tree storage bag.
Keep the tree in a clean, dry storage area and avoid placing heavy objects on top of it, as this can permanently bend or distort the branches.
Where can artificial Christmas trees be used?
Artificial Christmas trees are suitable for much more than a living room. Their simple assembly and reusable design make them practical for many indoor environments.
- Living rooms
- Dining rooms
- Entrance halls
- Offices
- Shops and shop windows
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Reception areas
- Showrooms
- Christmas events and displays
Artificial Christmas trees for offices and commercial spaces
Businesses often need Christmas decorations that can be installed efficiently and reused year after year. An artificial tree provides a predictable size and shape and can be stored until the following festive season.
This makes artificial Christmas trees particularly practical for offices, shops, hotels, restaurants, showrooms and reception areas where a consistent festive appearance is important.
Christmas tree safety
Always position your artificial Christmas tree on a stable surface and keep it at a safe distance from fireplaces, heaters, radiators and other sources of heat.
Use Christmas lights suitable for indoor use and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Switch lights off when leaving the property unattended or before going to bed.
If a specific fire-performance classification is required for a commercial or public installation, always check the exact technical specification and certification of the individual tree before purchase.
Do artificial Christmas trees need maintenance?
Artificial trees require relatively little maintenance. Before storing the tree, remove dust gently with a soft cloth, duster or other suitable non-abrasive cleaning method.
Make sure the tree is completely dry before placing it in a storage bag or box. This helps keep it clean and ready for the next festive season.
Frequently asked questions about artificial Christmas trees
How long does an artificial Christmas tree last?
A good-quality artificial Christmas tree can be reused for many years when assembled carefully and stored correctly in a dry place after each festive season.
Do artificial Christmas trees shed needles?
They do not naturally shed needles in the way a real tree does. Rough handling can, however, damage individual synthetic branch tips or foliage elements.
How do you make a fake Christmas tree look realistic?
Carefully spread and shape every branch. Position branch tips in different directions and use lighting at different depths within the tree before adding decorations.
What size artificial Christmas tree should I buy?
Measure the ceiling height and available floor space. Allow extra room at the top for a tree topper and around the sides so the branches are not compressed.
Do artificial Christmas trees need watering?
No. Artificial Christmas trees do not require watering, feeding or other plant care.
Can artificial Christmas trees be reused?
Yes. Reusability is one of their main advantages. Correct dismantling and storage help preserve the tree for future Christmas seasons.
How should I store an artificial Christmas tree?
Remove all decorations, carefully fold the branches inwards, dismantle the tree sections and store them in the original box or a suitable storage bag in a clean, dry place.
Can an artificial Christmas tree be used in an office?
Yes. Artificial trees are particularly practical for offices, shops, hotels, restaurants and other businesses because they can be reused and stored between festive seasons.
Are artificial Christmas trees fire resistant?
Fire-performance properties vary between products. Always check the technical specification and any stated fire classification of the individual model rather than assuming all artificial Christmas trees have the same properties.
