Overview
- Recent coverage highlights a visible shift across parts of Europe, particularly in Spain and Denmark, toward replacing the classic tree with simpler options.
- Common substitutes include wall-mounted silhouettes using ribbons, branches or light strips, as well as recycled-branch arrangements and geometric or abstract structures.
- Cost savings, limited space and environmental concerns are driving the change, favoring warm lights, natural materials and neutral tones over heavy ornamentation.
- The Nordic aesthetic anchors the look with wooden ornaments, nature motifs and handcrafted textures, and decorators suggest extending the approach across tables, shelves and windows.
- For exteriors, single-device laser light projectors sold online are promoted as a quick solution, with Amazon listings around $15–$45 and Argentina’s updated rules easing door-to-door imports under defined value and weight limits.
