Inside, I put the shorter Alpine tree on the upstairs landing, and put clear lights on it. Downstairs, I have a real tree, again with white lights, but some onrnaments. In the foyer, I put a small, fake tree, with clear lights on a plaster pedestal (that thing has been dragged around to 3 houses!). I have the twin tree in the family room, on a large, round table, which the cats seem to think was put there for them as a sort of duck blind (in order to observe the birds outside, through the French doors). I also have tiny fake trees in both 1 bathroom and the master bedroom (no lights, but an ivory-colored velvet ribbon as a tree-topper. The trees are only about 18" tall, and tiny.)
I'm starting to like the faux trees without the ornaments more and more each year. I have little patience when decorating a tree, and the cats only take the ornaments off anyway. At night, when the trees are lit, and the lights are low, it really looks pretty. It's kind of subtle, not in your face.
