Last year, we got a slim flocked tree for the living room, and I fell in love with the lightness and whimsy. And a lot of other people must have fell for it, too, since this photo circulated all through Pinterest, our readers have tagged me a number of times on Instagram when it popped up in their feeds (thank you!), and even Target picked up the image. For reference, in our living room we have 8 ft ceilings and a 6.5 ft tree, most similar to tree number 6 below.
Flocked trees are magical and don't need a ton of ornaments to make them look that way, either. I love this example of two side by side for a big impact! For a tree like this, you'll want one like number 4 or 11 below.
Or, if space is limited, a smaller one (like number 2 below) still adds so much to the room.
You can flock your current tree with this flocking powder (that got good reviews) or if you're ready to take the plunge, I've searched high and low for a variety of flocked tree types and sizes that I would happily put in any (or every!) room in our home. Most of the trees come in multiple sizes from 3ft-12ft so check out the information after the round-up to see which size would work best in your home. And I think every one I rounded up is quick ship! (But will likely sell out quickly.)

I know I usually post a "Casual Friday" every week, but I just had to squeeze this virtual tree farm post in, since everyone seems to be decorating soon so let's do a Casual Saturday tomorrow!
All are beautiful. Where can they be purchased? Is there a store in northern NJ where there are floor models to view?
I just got a flocked tree and I am worried about it yellowing. How do you prevent this? Any special tips about storing a flocked tree?
Thanks! Love all you do!
Hmm, we haven't had any issue with ours for the past two years.
Thanks for this post. I was looking for a slim tree and bought #6. Just got it today and it looks beautiful!
I just got one and discovered it is very hard for little kids to hang ornaments on the tree ?. I had to put hooks on each ornament and it is still difficult. It does look amazing though... we got one from Lowes.
I have admired flocked trees for years! QUESTION: How does it do in storage? Does a little of the flocking come off each year? Does it make a mess? Does it look as good after storage? Thanks!!!
We keep it in a box in storage, and it still looks great.
Lovely.
My grandma always had a white christmas tree. the pictures remind of her.
I've read that flocked trees can be messy. Does the flocking flake off?
Thaaaank you for doing this post, I have been considering buying a new (flocked) tree or just flocking my own. This helps a lot! Thank you!

You read my mind!! I'm so into flocked trees this year. I think one would bring a certain coziness to our Austin, Texas living room, even when it's 80 degrees outside. I'm trying the DIY version to keep costs down and majorly crossing my fingers that it's successful! Happy to know of these options if my project is a total fail. Great roundup, thank you, Julia!
Beautiful! I also love #5.
Can you tell me where you got the photo/art ledge that is mounted above your sofa? I looked for the source on here, but wasn't able to find it. Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
They made it!
Search the site ;)
Great info! Going to save this for next year
Now I'm not so sad that half the lights on my tree stopped working this year. Just an excuse to get a flocked tree?! These are gorgeous!
