18 Best Faux Olive Trees (Interior Designers Love)

Find The Best Faux Olive Tree For Your Living Room

When I started sharing home decor, every comment was, “faux plants are tacky.” Ummm, rude and completely incorrect. When working on the living room makeover, my interior designer friend told me never to style a room with faux trees, but I broke that decorating rule immediately, and when I showed her the final reveal photos, she had no idea my plants were fake.

7. Amazon 10-Foot Tall Artificial Olive Tree

If you have vaulted ceilings, this tall tree might be the one for you. The faux olives look fairly realistic, but if you’re not a fan, simply clip them off the branches. It has one single trunk and comes potted in a belly basket; however, my personal preference would be to remove it from the basket and replace it with this larger fiberglass decorative planter if you want that interior designer (eh emmmm Studio McGee look).

9. Pottery Barn 9-Foot Tall Faux Olive Tree

This 9-foot tall olive tree is glorious and almost gives Nate Berkus‘ giant living room tree a run for its money! She’s a statement maker! This one comes in a plastic pot, so you’ll need to purchase a planter in addition to the tree. If you look closely, the underside of the leaves has a dull, silvery coloration, which gives it a more realistic look and feel. If 9 feet is too high, there are three small-sized faux olive trees to choose from. I love its airy look and feel!

10. Home Depot Green Artificial Olive Tree

This affordable faux olive tree from Home Depot is 5 feet tall and under $100. It has long leaves, fake olives, and slender branches, making it feel lifelike. If the olives aren’t your jam, again, simply clip them off.

Tall Faux Olive Trees For Your Living Room

Faux olive trees can get pricy based on quality and size, but a 3′-4′ real olive tree will still run you around $100. Because real plants silently scream and fear death when I near them, I might as well flush that $100 down the toilet. Real plant maintenance is not my forte…I blame my ADHD. Weekly watering does not fit into my busy routine, so every single plant you find in my home is artificial.

13. Amazon Tall Faux Olive Tree

This tree is available in 3 different sizes. I love how this tree trunk looks like natural wood with its organic shape. The best part is it’s under $100. I own this tree, and it’s presently in my living room, shown here.

Keeping Your Faux Olive Trees Dust Free

Jeremiah Brent recently told House Beautiful that faux plants are dust traps. Yes, but isn’t everything in your home a dust trap if you don’t clean it? And if you think about it, real plants get dusty, too. Jeremiah, I love ya, but Imma to have to agree to disagree with ya. 

There’s nothing tacky or gross about decorating with a fake plant unless it’s full of dust. To keep them clean, I take a fresh Swiffer Duster to the leaves once every other week, but if there’s serious dust, use this Artificial Plant Cleaner. Take your plant outside, spray it, and let it drip dry. Not only does it clean your faux plant, but it will also add an extra level of dust protection to the leaves, making it easier to clean next time.

HOT TIP: If you have a small arrangement of silk flowers, pop them in a baggie, fill it with table salt, seal the bag, and shake. Remove the flowers from the bag over the sink or trash can and give them another shake to ensure all the salt has been removed. Voila! Your “dust trap” is clean as a whistle. 

Making Your Faux Olive Tree Look More Realistic

Channel Legally Blond with the old bend and snap trick. There are ways to make your artificial trees look more real. First things first, you want to fluff it after removing it from the box. The branches are all squooshed in there, so separate, bend, and twist those straight branches for a more natural look.

BTDubs, reshaping will help give any fake plant a more realistic look. If you do not love the olives, but you love the tree, remember what I told ya…cut ’em off! And lastly, pop that faux tree into a cute planter or basket to make your tree look more real.

Why Not Grow A Real Olive Tree?

Ya, I hear ya. The best olive trees and real olive trees, but if you want instant gratification with a 10-foot tall artificial olive tree, a fake tree is the only way…that is, unless you have the budget. I’m looking at your Nate Berkus. Real life olive trees cost a small fortune. For me and my non green thumb, that’s wasted money.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the faux olive tree and if you like decorating with fake plants in your home. Scroll down, and leave a note in the comment section, and tell me your opinion!
