Where to Place a 6-Foot Artificial Olive Tree

Where to Place a 6-Foot Artificial Olive Tree. Find a spot for a 6-foot artificial olive tree beside seating, a console or an office reception.

Try a position beside a sofa

Start at the outer edge of the seating arrangement. From the main entrance, check that the foliage reads as a separate silhouette against the wall. Repeat the black planter finish in a nearby lamp base or table frame if the space already has dark accents.

Check practical clearances

Open nearby drawers and doors fully before committing. Leave room behind the pot so you can reach the wall and the planter when cleaning. If the leaves extend across a window, check how the tree looks with the curtains open and closed.

Before you decide

Try the tree slightly forward of the wall. A small gap can make the leaves easier to read and lets you rotate the canopy without shifting the surrounding furniture.

For a compact living room, make a trial footprint with a sheet of paper or tape. Draw the planter on the floor and imagine the foliage at head height while walking past. If a black planter looks too heavy against the wall, try it beside a light console or pale rug to see the contrast before changing planters.
