Ikea launch £13 Christmas tree that’s great for people who don’t have any space & millions of people are raving about it
WITH Christmas just around the corner, many people are starting to think about where to get the perfect tree.
But for those with limited space in their homes, the idea of setting up a tree can feel more stressful than festive.
From measuring the space and rearranging furniture to figuring out if you can even fit a tree without cramping the room, anyone with a smaller living area knows the struggle all too well.
But luckily, Ikea has just the thing to fix all of these issues.
It’s slightly alternative to the usual standing tree but is enough to get your home ready for the Christmas season.
The tree, which is from Ikea, costs £13 and can be decorated with fairy lights and baubles – just like the real ones.
The tree is made out of wood, is flexible and can be stuck onto the wall.
It has a flexible construction and is easy to pull horizontally to the “desired width and length” that suits you and your wall space.
They have warned that different wall materials will require different types of fixing devices, and these will be sold separately.
Designer at Ikea Mikael Axelsson says: “It can be tricky to fit a traditional Christmas tree, especially if you live in a small space.
“That’s why I decided to create an alternative. Inspired by a common knob rack, I designed a 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.
“When Christmas is over, it’s easy to fold together and store – or use for jewellery and other accessories.”
The tree has been given a 4.8 star rating out of 5, as many people rushed to the comments section on the website to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “AMAZING. Haven’t decorated it yet but even on its own it looks fantastic.
“Very much worth the £13! Can’t wait for the 1st Dec!!! Easy to store and no assembly required.”
Another added: “This display is large so you do need to have a lot of empty walls.
“It’s very good quality and concertinas into a tall thin shape for storage in its box.
“There are ‘pegs’ for hanging things… again good quality and neatly done.
It’s robust but not too heavy. No assembly needed

“If you don’t have space for a Christmas tree but do have wall space then this will be for you but do measure first!
“No assembly required and it expands and contracts easily. Love it.”
A third said: “Not much space for a Christmas tree, this is perfect.
“It’s robust but not too heavy. No assembly needed!”
Content creator Rosemarie Thiedmann also shared a video on her Instagram showing how you can decorate the tree to the max.
