Once upon a time, faux indoor trees were unheard of. Why on earth would anybody want to have a tree inside their house? That too a fake one? And fake plants were, well, an unrealistic looking faux pas that you could do without.

But, as Bob Dylan once prophesized, the times’ve changed. Faux plants are no longer looked down upon designers. And technology has paved the way to create breathtakingly realistic, ‘fake plants and trees’ that can give your home the depth and color that you crave, without having to deal with the hassles of growing real ones.

Yeah, not everyone is born with a green thumb. Here are a few tips to help you shop for faux indoor trees.

How to install faux indoor trees?

Depending on the design of the faux tree you choose, it might require on-site installation or will be shipped ready to use.

If it’s to be installed on site, check for detailed instructions and tutorial videos. The installation might require a few extra pair of hands, especially for large tree designs with lots of foliage and extra details.

Some faux indoor trees double up as a playhouses for kids and might require some experience with woodwork. Check with the manufacturer if they offer on-site installation.

It is recommended to install the faux tree near a window or in a well-lit part of the house to create a natural setting.

What are the available sizes of faux indoor trees?

It is the availability of space that will determine what size you can choose. Faux indoor trees are available in a gamut of sizes, ranging from tiny bonsai ones to gargantuan monsters that stand up to 10-12 feet tall and up to 15-feet wide.

Measure the dimensions and ensure that there’s enough room to accommodate the tree. Account for the room needed around the tree to allow people to move freely without crashing into the trunk every time. Always remember to check the width or the spread of the branches and foliage.

What designs of faux indoor trees are there to choose from?

Fig, Fern, Palm, Oak, Birch, Banyan, Ficus, Rhapis, Rubber, Bamboo, Olive, Cedar, you can get just about any type of faux tree. Always look at the finishing and the detailing. The more realistic it is, the better the tree will look indoors.

Some designs come with a planter or a vase, which is usually heavier and works as a stable base for the faux tree. Others have thick roots which appear to sprout out of the flooring. Steer clear of cheaper varieties which have a glossy finish (Read old silk flower bouquets).

While indoor faux trees are considered as aesthetic pieces, it is completely possible to make it a functional one as well. Have the tree positioned as the backdrop for your dining table. Add some rustic hanging lights to the branches to create a cozy dining nook. Or place it next to your favorite chaise lounge, add some shelves on the trunks to tuck your books and other tiny knick-knacks.

If it’s a multifunctional one, like a children’s playhouse, look at the build quality. Check the sturdiness of the ladders and the rooms. Does it have an upper tier? Is it rated for safety? Speak to the manufacturer and seek details.
