Where will your artificial tree make an impact?
An artificial tree is a statement piece, filling vertical space real trees can't easily hold indoors. An empty corner of a living room comes alive with a tall faux tree or potted artificial tree — an artificial indoor tree, one of the large artificial plants, a tall artificial plant that holds real presence. A high-ceilinged room or entryway suits a large tree to fill the height. A dark spot that would kill a real tree stays lush with a fake one. And an office or reception gains instant, care-free greenery with presence. Work out the tall, empty spot that needs filling, and an artificial tree brings height and life without the light or watering a real tree demands.
What height artificial tree do you need?
Match the height to the ceiling and the spot. A 1.2 to 1.5 metre tree suits a corner beside a sofa or a spot on the floor against a wall. A 1.8 to 2 metre tree fills a high-ceilinged room or a bare entryway with real presence. Leave headroom so the tree doesn't touch the ceiling. Consider the pot too — a tall tree needs a substantial, heavy pot so it doesn't look top-heavy or tip. Measure the ceiling height and the floor space, and choose a tree that fills the vertical gap without crowding it.
Which artificial tree suits your style?
Different trees set different moods. A fiddle-leaf fig or rubber plant brings a modern, on-trend look with big glossy leaves. An olive tree adds a Mediterranean, relaxed feel. A bird of paradise or palm gives a tropical, resort vibe. A ficus is the classic full-foliage tree. Each fills height while suiting a different interior style. Match the tree to your room's look — fiddle-leaf for modern, olive for relaxed, palm for tropical — knowing all of them stay lush and green year-round with no care.
What we'd tell a friend before they buy an artificial tree
Here's the advice that matters. Buy quality on a big tree, since a large fake tree is very visible and a cheap one with shiny uniform leaves looks obviously fake. Get a heavy, substantial pot so it's stable and looks grounded, not top-heavy. Fluff and shape every branch on arrival, as they ship compressed. Place it where a real tree would go, near light, not in a pitch-dark corner. And for a sunny window, check it's UV-stable so it doesn't fade. Buy on foliage quality and a solid pot, then style it.

What height artificial tree should I buy?
1.2 to 1.5 metres for a corner beside furniture, or 1.8 to 2 metres to fill a high-ceilinged room or entryway. Leave headroom so it doesn't touch the ceiling.
Do large artificial trees look real?
Good-quality ones do, but big trees are very visible so quality matters most here. Fluff the branches, use a real heavy pot, and place it where a real tree would go.
Which artificial tree is most popular?
Fiddle-leaf figs and olive trees are on-trend, while ficus and palms are classics. Each suits a different style — modern, Mediterranean or tropical — with no care needed.
How do I stop a tall artificial tree tipping?
Use a heavy, substantial pot, and add filler or stones over the base for weight. A light pot makes a tall tree top-heavy and unstable, so ground it well.
Can an artificial tree go by a window?
Yes, but choose a UV-stable one for a sunny window, or the sun fades the leaves over time. Most indoor spots away from harsh direct sun are fine.

An artificial tree anchors a room's greenery. Add small plants for shelves, flowering plants for colour, and ficus trees for more height.
