How to Style Simon Pearce Trees in Your Home This Season

The season has officially begun. There’s something magical about unboxing a new Simon Pearce tree, each piece arrives whispering stories of artistry, craftsmanship, and light. At Cassandra’s Kitchen, we’re thrilled to welcome the signature glass evergreens from Simon Pearce into our collection. These aren’t just holiday decorations; they’re heirlooms, year-round accents, and moments of beauty.

From the first glint of light on glass to the sparkle in your gatherings, this guide will walk you through what makes these trees special, how to style them in your space, how to care for them, and even what makes them perfect gifts and collectibles.

What Makes Simon Pearce Trees Special

Every Simon Pearce evergreen is handmade, hand-blown glass. Each tree is crafted by artisans using time-honored glassblowing techniques in Vermont. What you see in each tree is the result of molten glass shaped by expert hands, no two are exactly alike.

Simon Pearce also values lead-free and design integrity. The glass is lead-free, ensuring clarity and safety. These trees are built to last and designed to celebrate the natural beauty of Vermont’s woods. There are also varieties of style and texture to choose from. Some trees are made in classic clear glass, while others feature “bubble” textures, silver-leaf infusions, snowy edges, crackle surfaces, frosted, or twist designs. Each style plays with light differently.

Finally, there are size variations to fit every space. Whether you want a sapling-sized accent or a stately piece that commands a mantel or console, Simon Pearce has you covered. Trees start small, like 4-inch, and go up to much larger heights, making it easy to mix and match.

Styling Ideas: Where & How to Display Them

Here are lots of ways to bring these glass evergreens into your home, making them part of your décor rather than just seasonal extras.

Tabletop / Console Centerpiece

• A mid-sized tree, maybe a clear or silver-leaf one, set in the center with natural elements like pine cones, a burlap runner, or evergreen sprigs.
• For more drama, group several smaller ones together so you have variation in height and texture. For example, pair a bubble-texture tree with a snowy-edged one and a twist-glass style.

Mantels & Fireplace Surfaces

• Flank candles or taper holders with a mix of trees (different heights/textures) so you create visual depth.
• Use garlands—evergreen, eucalyptus, even dried florals and nestle the trees inside for that cozy layered look.

Windowsill / Side Tables / Entryway

• Glass plays beautifully with natural light. A windowsill where morning or afternoon sun comes through can highlight clarity, bubbles, silver leaf, etc.
• Entryways are the first impression, place a tree (or a small pair) near the door or on a console so guests see the sparkle immediately.

Creating Forest Effects

• If you have several trees, group them to form “forests” or bundles. Simon Pearce offers trios or forest bundles which already coordinate well.
• Use variations clear, metallic, snowed-edge to get contrast.
• One idea: line up a trio of the same style but increasing sizes along a hallway, or cluster a group of mixed styles on a dining table.

Illuminated Display

• Use LED bases or lighting from below. For example, the Illuminated Five Sided Evergreen (one of the Simon Pearce designs) is built for that effect.
• Consider subtle accent lighting (warm bulbs) to make glass shimmer in evenings. Fairy lights or uplighting can also help highlight texture without overwhelming.

Pairing with Other Simon Pearce & Home Items

To make your styling feel cohesive and balanced, think about contrast, complementary textures, and consistency in mood.

• With other glassware / candleholders / hurricanes: Glass evergreens echo nicely with Simon Pearce’s glass items. A hurricane or tapered candle in clear or crackle glass will reflect and amplify those same elements.
• Pottery evergreens vs. glass: For contrast, mix in Simon Pearce’s pottery evergreens (e.g. “Moss Glen” or “Dove”). The matte, earthy tones bring balance to the shine of glass.
• Neutral dinnerware / serveware: Using more neutral/delicate dinner settings allows the trees to be focal points without clashing. Think whites, creams, soft grays.
• Natural elements: Wood, stone, textured linens, greenery (real or high quality faux) help ground the glass visually and add warmth.

Keep Your Simon Pearce Trees Looking Their Best

Part of keeping these pieces looking stunning is treating them with care.

For cleaning, use glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh or citrus-based cleaners, as they may damage or cloud the glass. Simon Pearce suggests gentle care to preserve the clarity and beauty of each piece.

Placement concerns are also important. Avoid putting them where they might get knocked over or exposed to sudden temperature changes. Direct intense sunlight can sometimes cause refraction issues, or in rare cases, even create a fire hazard. Always make sure the bases are stable.

When it comes to storage, handle them carefully. Place plenty of padding between pieces to prevent scratching or impact. Whenever possible, the original packaging is often the best choice for safe storage.

Why These Trees Make Treasured Gifts & Collections

These trees are as much about moments and memories as they are about décor. They hold meaning beyond their beauty, becoming part of celebrations, milestones, and traditions.

They are great for gifting. With gift boxes and, in many cases, the option for engraving, these evergreens make thoughtful and personal presents. Choosing a style or size that is meaningful to the recipient adds even more significance.

They are also perfect for building your collection. Over time, you can gather different styles, textures, and sizes so that each year you’re adding something new. Your collection becomes something to look forward to, a growing display that evolves with you.

Bundles and sets offer another way to enjoy them. Buying trios or forest bundles not only creates a bigger visual impact but often provides better value and coordinated styling, making your display even more striking.

Bringing Heritage and Light Into Your Home

Whether you’re decorating for the holidays or looking to bring a touch of luminous art into your everyday décor, Simon Pearce evergreens are pieces that last. They bring together heritage, craftsmanship, and beauty in glass to enrich your home.

We invite you to stop by Cassandra’s Kitchen, see the new Simon Pearce collection in person, feel the weight of the glass in hand, notice how light plays off its many textures—and imagine where you’ll place that first (or next) tree. Let these trees become part of your holiday tradition (and beyond), season after season
