How to Choose the Right Artificial Tree for Entrances and Offices

How to Choose the Right Artificial Tree for Entrances and Offices

Choosing an artificial tree for entrances or offices is not only about appearance. The right tree should match the space, ceiling height, planter style, and furniture layout around it.

In many cases, the product may look beautiful on its own, but the final result may not feel balanced because the size is not suitable or the planter does not support the overall design. This guide helps you choose the right artificial tree from the beginning, whether you are preparing a home entrance, reception desk, waiting area, hotel, restaurant, or commercial space.

Who Is This Article For?

This article is helpful if you:

Are looking for an artificial tree for a home or villa entrance.
Are decorating an office or waiting area.
Need a large artificial tree for a spacious area.
Want to arrange a tree with a fiberglass planter or decorative plant pot.
Work on office, hotel, restaurant, or showroom decoration.
Want to choose the right product without testing multiple sizes.

Why Choosing the Right Tree Matters

Entrances and offices are among the first spaces that shape a visitor’s impression. A well-chosen artificial tree can make the area feel more organized, welcoming, and visually balanced, especially when the size fits the space.

A short tree may disappear in a large entrance, while an oversized tree may make a small office feel crowded. The wrong planter can also reduce the overall appeal, even if the tree itself is suitable.

The best result comes from combining:

The right height.
A matching planter.
A clear placement inside the space.
A tree type that suits the intended use.

How to Choose the Right Tree Height

Height is the first thing to consider before buying. There is no single size that works for every space, but this guide can help:

Tree Height

Best Use

Less than 120 cm

Side tables, small corners, compact offices

120 to 160 cm

Offices, small rooms, corridors, medium spaces

180 to 220 cm

Entrances, majlis areas, behind sofas, waiting areas

240 cm and above

Hotels, showrooms, large entrances, high-ceiling spaces

If the space is wide or the ceiling is high, it is better to choose a taller tree so it does not disappear within the area. For smaller offices, a medium-sized tree is usually more suitable than a large one.

Best Types of Artificial Trees for Entrances and Offices

1. Artificial Olive Tree

The artificial olive tree is a suitable choice for entrances, majlis areas, and executive offices. It has an elegant presence and works well in spaces that need a strong decorative element without too many details.

The olive tree can be used in:

Villa entrances.
Majlis areas.
Reception halls.
Executive offices.
Hotels and showrooms.

For medium or spacious entrances, choosing an olive tree with a fiberglass planter creates a more balanced arrangement.

2. Artificial Areca Tree

The artificial areca tree is suitable for offices, waiting areas, and side corners. Its slim palm-style leaves make it a good choice for spaces that need a soft green touch without visual crowding.

It works well in:

Offices.
Meeting rooms.
Waiting areas.
Cafes.
Corners beside sofas.

3. Artificial Ficus Tree

The artificial ficus tree is a practical option for corridors, indoor offices, and spaces that need a neat medium-sized tree. It is suitable for those who want a clear decorative touch without taking up too much space.

It works well in:

Corridors.
Clinics.
Small offices.
Reception areas.
Empty corners.

4. Large Artificial Trees

If the space is wide, such as a hotel entrance, showroom, or large restaurant, a large artificial tree with the right height is usually the better choice. In this case, choosing the tree alone is not enough; it should be paired with a planter that matches its size.

Large artificial trees are suitable for:

Hotel entrances.
Showrooms.
Large restaurants.
Commercial centers.
Spacious villas.

How to Choose the Right Planter

The planter is an important part of the arrangement, not just a base for the tree. When choosing a planter, consider the size of the tree, the location, and the interior style.

Fiberglass Planters

Fiberglass planters are highly suitable for entrances, offices, and hotels, especially with medium and large trees. They help the tree feel more stable and give the arrangement a cleaner, more organized look.

They are recommended for:

Entrances.
Reception areas.
Executive offices.
Hotels and restaurants.
Showrooms and commercial spaces.

Round Planters

A round planter is suitable for a single tree, especially when placed in a corner, beside a sofa, or next to a reception desk.

Rectangular Planters

Rectangular planters are suitable when arranging more than one tree or plant in a line, or when used to divide open spaces in an elegant way.

They work well in:

Corridors.
Indoor front areas.
Waiting areas.
Restaurants and cafes.
Open spaces.

Where to Place the Tree

At the Entrance

Place the tree beside the door or in a clear corner of the entrance. If the entrance is spacious, choose a height of 180 cm or more.

Beside the Sofa

Trees taller than 180 cm work well beside or behind sofas, especially in majlis areas and living rooms.

Next to the Reception Desk

In offices, companies, and clinics, placing a tree next to the reception area can make the space feel more organized and welcoming.

In Waiting Areas

You can use a medium tree or a rectangular arrangement depending on the size of the waiting area. The most important point is to avoid blocking movement.

Inside Restaurants and Cafes

Artificial trees can be placed beside seating areas, at the entrance, or in corners that need a clear decorative element.

Common Mistakes When Buying an Artificial Tree

1. Choosing the Size Before Measuring the Space

Before buying the tree, measure the ceiling height, corner width, and available space around the planter. This simple step helps prevent choosing the wrong size.

2. Choosing a Short Tree for a Large Entrance

In large entrances, a short tree may not stand out properly. A taller tree with a suitable planter is usually a better choice.

3. Ignoring the Planter Type

A mismatched planter can weaken the entire arrangement. Choose a planter that fits the tree height and the style of the space.

4. Placing the Tree in a Crowded Area

A tree needs enough space around it to appear neat and balanced. Avoid placing it between too many decorative elements or in a very tight corner.

5. Repeating the Same Type Everywhere

Using a mix of olive trees, areca trees, ficus trees, or rectangular arrangements usually creates a better result than repeating the same tree in every corner.

Alrassi Tip Before Buying

Before choosing your tree, ask yourself:

Is the space an entrance, office, majlis, or waiting area?
Is the area spacious or limited?
Is the ceiling high?
Do I need one tree or a rectangular arrangement?
Will the planter be a visible part of the decoration?
Do I want the tree to be a main feature or a side addition?

For entrances and majlis areas, a height between 180 and 220 cm with a fiberglass planter is often a suitable choice. For small offices or side corners, medium sizes are usually more practical.

Conclusion

For entrances and majlis areas, a height between 180 and 220 cm is often a suitable choice. Smaller offices usually need a medium-sized tree that adds a clear decorative touch without crowding the area.
