How to Style an Artificial Maple Tree or Faux Fall Tree
After researching all of the options, I decided to purchase a faux maple tree from Crate & Barrel (sadly, this one is not currently available). I especially love the sparse, minimalist look, muted red tone, and 7.5 ft height.
Artificial maple trees make a statement and do not require a lot of styling. Above all, I would recommend adding a large stone or ceramic planter pot if your tree comes with a small plastic pot. Keep reading for ideas for styling a faux tree in a planter!
In addition to adding a planter, give your faux fall tree room to shine and style the rest of your living room or bedroom simply with earthy fall colors and neutral decor.

I also wanted to mention that I considered choosing a shorter tree and propping it up in a tall basket or large planter to add height. This is a great way to get the look for less, since shorter trees tend to be less expensive. I especially love this autumn eucalyptus tree and this artificial maple tree!
How to Make an Artificial Tree Look Taller
Finally, here is how to make a faux tree look taller! This is a budget friendly option if you already have a large planter pot to use, or want to purchase one to reuse with different season trees.
- Place a cardboard box, plastic container, or small planter upside down inside of a large planter.
- Place your faux tree inside of the large planter (so it is propped up near the top).
- Wrap towels or blankets around the tree pot to make the tree sturdy.
- Cover the top with Spanish moss to complete the look.
