Best Christmas Tree Skirts in Australia (2026)

A plastic Christmas tree stand rarely looks good under the decorations, and a bare stand can catch the eye for the wrong reasons on Christmas morning. A tree skirt or collar hides that base, catches fallen needles or shed branch tips from an artificial tree, and gives presents somewhere tidy to sit while everyone opens them. We looked at seven skirts and collars sold in Australia, from full plush faux fur wraps through to a rustic linen collar sized for a tabletop tree, so you can match the right size and style to your own tree before the Christmas rush hits Australian warehouses in November.

Unlike a lot of the Christmas decor category, a tree skirt is not something most Australian households already own from a previous winter overseas, since so many of us grew up dressing a tree with nothing under it but a bedsheet or a spare towel. That makes this one of the categories where the choice of size and finish genuinely changes how the whole tree reads in a lounge room, and it is why we spent more time than usual comparing diameter against the tree heights actually sold here rather than the US-style sizing most listings default to.

Quick answer: our top three tree skirts

If you only read one section, start here. The Dremisland 36 inch double-layer faux fur tree skirt is our top pick for its genuinely plush double layer of fur that hides a plastic stand better than anything else here. The Flash World 48 inch faux fur tree skirt is the runner up for anyone with a full-size tree who wants full coverage from a well-reviewed pick. The Bigqin 48 inch woodland tree mat is the budget pick if you just need to cover a plastic base as cheaply as possible.

How we chose the best tree skirts for Australian homes

Most Australian Christmas trees are artificial rather than cut, propped on a plastic stand that a fabric skirt has to fully cover from every angle a lounge room lets people see it from. Because so many of those trees go up on floorboards or tiles rather than wall-to-wall carpet, we also weighed how flat a skirt sits rather than curling up at the edges once it is out of its shipping bag. Australia Post and the Amazon AU delivery network both slow down through the second half of November as Christmas parcel volumes climb, so a skirt that ships from an Australian warehouse rather than sitting on backorder mattered as much to us as the fabric itself.

• Diameter checked against the tree heights actually sold in Australia, from a 1.2 m tabletop tree to a 2.1 m floor tree, not just the sizing band on the listing, since a US-market skirt sized for a 7 ft tree does not always line up neatly with the heights stocked here.
• Listing photos and owner images compared closely for a genuine double layer of faux fur rather than a single thin layer styled to look fuller.
• Owner ratings weighed alongside review counts, since a high star rating on a handful of reviews carries less weight than one backed by thousands of buyers.
• Price and stock timing checked with Christmas in mind, since the plusher styles tend to thin out through November and December.

These seven picks were chosen independently, not as sponsored placements, and we have not accepted a product from any of these brands to review. Each price, rating and review count in this guide reflects what was showing on the Amazon Australia listing at the time we checked, and because Amazon runs its own pricing separately from this guide, the figure on the product card may move slightly by the time you read this even where the prose still describes it as the cheapest or priciest of the group.

Compare tree skirts and collars at a glance

Here is how all seven picks stack up on style and price before we get into the detail on each one. We have ordered the table the same way as the sections below, from the plushest full-size skirt through to the smaller collar and knit options better suited to a tabletop tree or a cosy corner of the room.

Dremisland 36 inch double-layer faux fur tree skirt: the plushest base we found

The Dremisland skirt is the plushest of our seven picks, built from a genuine double layer of faux fur rather than a single thin layer dressed up in listing photos. At 36 inches (90 cm) across it suits a tree up to about 1.8 m tall, and a centre slit lets it wrap neatly around the trunk once the tree is already standing. Snowflake detailing on the soft grey-white pile adds texture without looking busy under lights, and it holds a 4.6 star rating from 2,612 owners, tied with the Amidaky for the second-highest rating among our seven picks.

Flaws: A 36 inch (90 cm) diameter is on the smaller side once a tree runs past 1.8 m, in which case the 48 inch options below sit flatter around a wider base.

It pairs naturally with warm white fairy lights and pastel or gold baubles, since the soft grey-white pile does not compete with either colour scheme, and the depth of the double layer means creases from packaging tend to drop out within a day of being unpacked.

Flash World 48 inch faux fur tree skirt: full coverage for a full-size tree

At 48 inches (122 cm) across, the Flash World skirt is sized for a full 1.8 m to 2.3 m tree and is the most-reviewed pick in this guide, with 4,778 ratings averaging 4.5 stars. Its soft plush faux fur carries a subtle snowflake print, and because it wipes clean and folds flat it stores easily once the tree comes down in January.

Flaws: The pile sits as a single layer rather than the double layer of plush on the Dremisland skirt above, so it looks a touch flatter up close.

Its neutral grey pile works with almost any bauble colour scheme, and because at 48 inches it is among the roomiest faux fur options here (level with the Eafion skirt), it also gives kids a soft spot to sit near the tree without dragging the fabric out of shape underfoot.

Bigqin 48 inch woodland tree mat: the cheapest way to hide the stand

The Bigqin mat is the cheapest pick in this guide, and at 48 inches (122 cm) it still fully covers a standard plastic tree base. The printed bunny, fox, deer and snowman design leans kid-friendly rather than formal, and because it packs flat it is easy to store between seasons. It carries a 4.1 star rating, the second-lowest of our seven picks, from 49 reviews.

Flaws: It is a flat printed mat rather than a plush skirt, so it will not add the fluffy look the faux fur options above give a tree.

Because the print sits flat rather than raised, it also works well tucked under a small train set or a village display running around the base of a family tree, which a plush skirt would swallow up.

Eafion 48 inch snowy white faux fur tree skirt: the highest owner rating

The Eafion skirt carries the highest owner rating of our seven picks, at 4.7 stars from 1,127 reviews. At 48 inches (122 cm) it suits a full-size tree, and its bright snowy white faux fur pile reads clean and modern, a contrast to the warmer grey-white tone of the Dremisland skirt above that can suit coloured rather than warm white lights.

Flaws: White faux fur shows dust and pet hair more readily than a grey or patterned skirt, so it needs a shake out before it goes back into storage each year.

Its bright white tone works particularly well under cool white or multicoloured lights, where a warmer grey-toned skirt like the Dremisland pick above can read slightly yellow by comparison.

Amidaky 30 inch gold sequin tree skirt: a dressier finish for a smaller tree

At 30 inches (76 cm), the Amidaky skirt is sized for a tabletop or smaller floor tree rather than a full 1.8 m tree, and its embroidered gold sequins give it a dressier finish than the plain plush options above. It holds a 4.6 star rating from 399 reviews, level with the Dremisland faux fur skirt at the top of this guide.

Flaws: At 30 inches it will not fully cover the base of a large tree, so measure the stand before buying if your tree runs taller than about 1.5 m.

The sequin finish also holds up well as a stand-in accent piece under a mantel display or a side table arrangement outside of the tree season, which the plainer faux fur picks above are less suited to.

Tatuo 19.7 inch linen burlap tree collar: rustic charm for a small tree

The Tatuo collar wraps a mini or tabletop tree at just under 20 inches (50 cm) across, and its linen burlap finish gives a rustic look that a plush faux fur skirt cannot match. It is the priciest of our seven picks despite its small size, and its 4 star rating from 1,028 reviews is the lowest in this guide.

Flaws: It works as a collar for a small tree rather than a skirt for a full-size floor tree, and its rating trails the rest of our picks.

Because it sits low and close to the trunk rather than draping outward, it also suits a corner nook or a side table display where a full floor-length skirt would look oversized against a smaller tree.

Dremisland cable knit tree skirt: a knitted look for a farmhouse Christmas

The Dremisland cable knit skirt swaps faux fur for a chunky knitted texture that suits a farmhouse or Scandi-style tree better than a plush pile does. It holds a 4.5 star rating from 144 reviews, on par with the Flash World skirt above, though stock of the knit style tends to run thinner than the faux fur options once the Christmas rush starts in November.

Flaws: Knitted fabric will not hide a plastic stand as fully as a dense faux fur pile, and with only 144 reviews it has a smaller track record than most of the other picks here.

The knit texture pairs naturally with wooden or timber-toned ornaments and a neutral colour palette, which is part of why it suits a farmhouse or Scandi-style room more than a brightly coloured Christmas theme.

Which Christmas tree skirt should you buy?

Reading through seven listings side by side makes the differences clearer than any single product page does on its own, so use your own tree height, floor type and colour scheme as the shortcut to the right pick rather than starting from price alone.

What to look for in a tree skirt or collar

A few practical checks before you add one to your cart will save a return trip in December.

• Match the skirt diameter to your tree height, roughly 90 cm for a tree around 1.5 m and 120 cm or more for anything taller.
• Check whether the fabric is a genuine double layer or a single layer styled to look fuller in photos.
• Look for a centre slit or a hook-and-loop closure that lets you fit the skirt once the tree is already standing rather than before.
• Consider a grippy underside if your tree stands on floorboards or tiles rather than carpet, since a lightweight skirt can slide as kids and pets move around it.
• Think about how a colour reads under your own lights, since a warm grey-white pile looks different under warm white fairy lights than it does under cooler multicoloured strings.
• Check the closure style if children or pets are around, since a tie or hook-and-loop wrap stays put better through a busy Christmas Day than a plain draped mat.

Fabric weight matters less here than it would in a colder climate, since an Australian Christmas rarely calls for anything heavy enough to trap warmth. What matters more is how the skirt photographs against your own flooring and how it packs away afterwards, since most Australian homes store Christmas decorations in a garage or a top cupboard for eleven months of the year rather than a dedicated attic. A skirt that folds flat into its own storage bag, like several of the picks above, is genuinely easier to live with long term than one that needs to be laid out flat to avoid crushing the pile.

Colour is also worth thinking through before you buy rather than after the tree is decorated. A plain grey-white or snowy white skirt, like the Dremisland or Eafion picks above, sits neutrally under almost any bauble colour scheme, while a patterned or metallic option like the Amidaky sequin skirt works best when it is chosen to match rather than compete with the ornaments going on the tree. If you already know your colour scheme for this year, it is worth picking the skirt before the baubles rather than after.

Storage is the part of this purchase that gets overlooked every January. A skirt that folds flat into a zip bag or a shallow box will survive eleven months in a garage far better than one left loose in a tub with the tinsel and lights, where the pile can get crushed under heavier decorations. If the packaging a skirt arrives in is sturdy enough to double as its own storage bag, that is worth factoring into the choice as much as the look of the skirt itself, particularly for the plusher faux fur styles that take longest to fluff back up once flattened.

If you are still shopping for the stand itself, our guide to the best Christmas tree stands in Australia covers the base sizes and weight capacities worth checking before you buy a skirt to match, since a skirt sized for a small stand will not sit right on a larger one.

Complete your Christmas tree setup

A skirt is one part of dressing the tree, and it tends to look better once the rest of the pieces around it are already sorted rather than bought as an afterthought. These guides cover the rest of the job, from the tree itself down to the smaller finishing touches most households leave until the last week before Christmas.

• Best Christmas trees in Australia if you still need the tree itself.
• Best Christmas tree stands in Australia for a solid base underneath your new skirt.
• Best Christmas tree toppers in Australia to finish the look from top to bottom.
• Best baubles in Australia for the branches above.
• Best Christmas lights in Australia to make the tree the centrepiece of the room.
• Best tinsel in Australia for extra sparkle around the base and branches.

You'll also want for tree day

A skirt or collar tends to be one of the last things bought before the tree goes up, usually once the lights and baubles are already sitting in a box in the hallway. If you are assembling the rest of the setup at the same time, it is worth checking the diameter of whichever skirt you land on against the footprint of your tree stand before everything arrives, since a stand that is unusually wide for its tree height is the one situation none of the seven picks above are sized to comfortably solve. A quick tape-measure check of the stand's widest point, done before you order rather than after, is the simplest way to avoid an awkward gap once the tree is finally standing.

It is also worth thinking about how the skirt will look once presents start piling up on top of it in the run-up to Christmas Day. A patterned mat like the Bigqin woodland design will mostly disappear under wrapped gifts by the time the pile grows through December, so its printed detail matters most in the first week or two the tree is up, while a plush faux fur skirt keeps adding texture around the edges of the pile even once most of it is covered.

Common questions about Christmas tree skirts

What size tree skirt do I need for my Christmas tree?

Match the skirt diameter to your tree height as a rough guide: about 90 cm (36 inches) for a tree up to 1.8 m, and 120 cm (48 inches) or more for anything taller. A skirt on the small side will still work but may leave a strip of the stand visible at the front.

Is a tree collar better than a tree skirt?

A collar sits as a semi-rigid ring around the base rather than draping like fabric, so it suits a small or tabletop tree better than a full-size one. Of our seven picks, the Tatuo linen burlap collar is sized for a mini tree rather than a full lounge-room tree.

Can I machine wash a faux fur tree skirt?

Check the specific listing before washing, since faux fur pile can flatten or shed in a machine wash. Most owners in our research wiped spills off with a damp cloth and left machine washing as a last resort.

How do I stop a tree skirt from sliding on hard floors?

A skirt with a centre slit and a hook-and-loop or tie closure sits more securely than a plain draped mat, and adding double-sided tape or a rubber grip strip underneath helps on floorboards or tiles.

When should I buy a Christmas tree skirt in Australia?

Buy in October or early November if you want the widest pick of styles and sizes, since the plusher faux fur options in this guide tend to sell through fastest once the Christmas rush hits in late November and December.

Will a tree skirt fit an artificial tree with a wide plastic stand base?

Most artificial tree stands sold in Australia sit within a 30 cm to 40 cm square or round footprint, and the smallest pick in this guide still measures about 50 cm across, so coverage of the stand itself is rarely the issue. The more common fit problem is a skirt that is too small in total diameter for a tall tree, which is why we have matched each pick above to an approximate tree height rather than just a stand size.
