This $20 IKEA Gem Is the Most Magical Small-Space Christmas Tree Alternative I’ve Ever Seen

There’s something magical about choosing and decorating a tree for the holidays. But if you live in a small space, you might be missing out on this wonderful tradition, as trees typically require lots of floor space — that is, until now. The clever folks at IKEA have come up with the best Christmas tree alternative for even the tiniest of homes — a wall-hung tree that resembles an accordion-style hook rack, and works just like one; it expands or narrows its shape to fit your space.

Made of solid pine, the VINTERFINT wall decoration isn’t just another wall-hung tree. Being able to adjust the width of your tree is a game-changer because you can add some Christmas cheer to even the smallest of rooms, using just a sliver of wall space. And come the new year, you can fold it up and store it away until next season.

Yes, the VINTERFINT wall decoration features a very plain, wooden tree-shaped frame with peg hooks, but that’s precisely the point. This makes it an infinitely customizable blank canvas that can fit your unique holiday style. Load it up with glittery ornaments, sparkly baubles, and gold tinsel for a maximalist look, or keep it Scandi simple and understated with just some greenery and a string of lights.  

The VINTERFINT also features 24 diamond-shaped components, which means it can pull double-duty as a bespoke advent calendar — perfect for hanging little treat-filled bags as a visual countdown to the big day. 

With the VINTERFINT tree, you can have all the festive feels without the large footprint of a traditional tree. And because the tree is just under $20, you don’t have to stop at one: You can add some holiday cheer to every room in your home, without taking up a single inch of floor space!
