Houzz Call: Show Us Your Festive Christmas Tree!

No Comments



It’s that time of year again, the time when we want to see your Christmas trees! Whether it’s indoor or outdoor, fresh or artificial, big or small, please take some photos and share them in the Comments. We’d also love to hear about your tree-trimming inspirations, your traditions, your favorite themes, your successes and even your #christmastreefails. Your well-lighted photos and comments may be used in a future Houzz story.

Last year, Houzz reader Crystal Swanson harvested her tree from her own yard. “Planted 20 years ago along our driveway, the evergreens were crowding each other and needed to be thinned out. So we cut down this blue spruce and topped it for our tree,” she wrote. “Nicest tree ever.”

The tree you share needn’t be full-size. For example, a new addition to a home inspired this sweet bird-themed tabletop tree. “Our screen porch was finished in 2023, so we were able to put up our little tree for the birds at the outside feeder to enjoy,” Houzz user hunnicook wrote last year. “The tree is decorated with vintage feather birds.”

Lots of trees have special significance and memories, and we’d love to hear about them. In this household, the holidays are a special time to show gratitude. “We decorate with angel trees as a tribute to the paramedics who saved my husband’s life 15 years ago,” Houzz reader Chris wrote.

We also love to see your pets enjoying your trees, like this Houzz cat. “As soon as I put down the tree skirt, Oliver came over and took a nap. He’s my favorite tree ornament,” Houzz reader livinginpalmbeach wrote.

Trees help mitigate heat-island effects by providing shade for streets and parking areas, add to the value of a property, provide habitat, cool the air and absorb carbon dioxide. Of course, they also provide beauty and can help mark the seasons.

Knowing your site will help you decide if you can plant a small tree, such as a dogwood, redbud or hawthorne, or if your yard can accommodate a large oak, pine or pecan. The function of the tree is also important to consider: Will it be multifunctional by providing screening, shade, noise reduction, cover for wildlife, erosion control or food? Discover below how you can place trees in the landscape to benefit both your home and the environment.
