If you are living in an apartment, or have a sitting room that is on the small side, trying to fit a full-sized Christmas tree in can be quite the headache.
I mean, the thought of giving up precious square footage for a Christmas tree can seem a little ridiculous –especially at a time a year when you more than likely will have guests over and entertain more, and basically need every inch of space in your home that you can squeeze out of it.
But fear not; you can still get your Christmas tree – you will just have to think a little bit outside the box for now. These ten modern and totally space saving alternatives will not only look cool, but will also no doubt be the talking point of the holidays:
