Xmas tree alternative/2nd tree recommendations

We’ve got our Christmas tree (a 7ft real tree beauty) in the kitchen diner this year but I feel like we need something for our living room/playroom - the first year with this layout following a year of building work.
Any ideas for a sort of alternative to a tree? We have a suitable corner but the space isn’t massive so nothing too ‘bushy’. Maybe a slim/pencil artificial tree? Or a sort of lit twig or blossom tree thing? Any ideas gratefully received!

Last year, decorated pineapples were all the rage! But I think they would fit on a shelf rather than in a corner.

I'd go for a Charlie Brown Christmas tree .

I like this and it's not hugely expensive, although it might not be big enough for you www.notonthehighstreet.com/theforestandco/product/gold-glass-droplet-tree

Those are both pretty nice and quirky, thank you. In the end I’ve ordered an artificial 5ft-er, I just love the main one so much with it drowning in lights, tinsel and baubles that I think we’ll just have a smaller version in here!

I bought this for a small corner space in our dining room. I was a bit dubious when putting it up but it looks lovely with lights and decorations on. Well worth a tenner!!

We have some pussy willow in a vase, you can always buy it in Morrisons or Waitrose this time of year, and I hang baubles off it, it looks great 😊

I have the same issue.

OH and I went to The Range looking for a small artificial tree.
They were all hideous.

We did see small real Nordman firs for £10, so that is what we will buy this week.

An artificial tree is not a tree, it is plastic on a stick.
