Christmas Tree Skirts and Bases

Christmas Tree Skirts and Bases are essential accessories that complete the festive look of any holiday tree while providing functional support and decoration. Since 1988, our shop has been a trusted destination for high-quality Christmas décor, offering a curated selection of tree skirts and bases to suit every style—from traditional to modern, rustic to elegant. Whether you’re decorating a fresh-cut fir or an artificial tree, the right skirt or base enhances the presentation and protects your floors while tying your holiday theme together beautifully.

🎄 Why Choose Christmas Tree Skirts and Bases?

Tree skirts and bases serve both aesthetic and practical purposes. A well-chosen tree skirt covers the stand or base of your tree, hiding unsightly hardware and giving a polished, cohesive look to your holiday setup. At the same time, it catches fallen needles and offers a clean area for stacking gifts. Bases, on the other hand, provide stability and support, especially important for larger or real trees, and often feature decorative finishes to complement your décor.

From classic red velvet skirts trimmed in faux fur to minimalistic wood or metal bases with Scandinavian flair, our selection brings together durability, design, and festive spirit—rooted in decades of experience and customer feedback.

🙋‍♀️ Christmas Tree Skirts and Bases FAQ

What size tree skirt do I need?

Choose a tree skirt that’s wider than the tree’s bottom branches—typically 42–60 inches for standard 6–8 ft trees.

Are tree skirts machine washable?

Many fabric skirts are machine washable, but always check the label. Delicate materials like velvet or embroidered designs may require spot cleaning.

Can I use a tree skirt with a real tree?

Yes! In fact, it helps catch fallen needles and protect your floor. Place a waterproof mat underneath if your tree stand may leak.

What’s the difference between a tree skirt and a tree collar?

A tree skirt is a fabric circle placed at the base of the tree, while a collar is a rigid decorative cover (usually wood or metal) that wraps around the stand.

Do tree bases fit all tree types?

Not always—check for compatibility with your tree’s trunk diameter and weight. Real trees often need heavy-duty bases, while artificial trees may come with built-in stands.

Can I use both a tree collar and a skirt?

While not typical, some decorators layer a skirt underneath a raised collar for extra texture and coverage—but ensure it doesn’t look crowded.
