Buy an artificial olive tree? For indoors and outdoors | Eliassen

Do you want the warm look of an olive tree without the hassle of watering, leaf drop or a tricky spot? Then an artificial olive tree is a smart choice. It instantly brings atmosphere to your home, office or reception area while you enjoy a well‑groomed, green look with zero maintenance. At Eliassen you’ll find artificial olive trees in different sizes and versions, from compact potted models to larger options with olives or on trunk.

An artificial olive tree fits beautifully in modern, rural and Mediterranean interiors. Even if you search for olive artificial tree, small artificial olive tree or artificial olive, you end up with the same advantage: a stylish eye‑catcher that looks good all year round. You can order easily online via the webshop or view the Artificial plants live in the large showroom of Eliassen in Ammerzoden.

Why choose an artificial olive tree?

The strength of an artificial olive tree lies in the combination of looks and convenience. A real olive tree needs lots of light, attention and the right conditions. In the Netherlands that’s not always ideal. With an artificial olive tree, you can enjoy the characteristic shape, refined foliage and Mediterranean vibe—without the care.

• No watering, feeding or pruning needed
• Stays beautifully green all year round
• Suitable for spaces with little daylight
• Lifelike appearance
• Easy to place in home, office or store
• Instantly adds a full, well‑kept look

That makes an artificial olive tree especially interesting if you want ambience but have no time or desire for plant maintenance. In professional spaces, that’s a big plus too.

The look of an artificial olive tree plant

You recognize a good artificial olive tree by its details: small, subtle leaves, natural color nuances and a trunk that radiates calm and character. That combination ensures an artificial olive tree plant doesn’t look harsh or plastic, but stands soft and decorative in the room.

At Eliassen the focus is on lifelike models. Within the range you’ll find green and brown variants with realistic leaf structure and a matte finish. That makes a big difference in how real a faux plant appears. Are you looking for an artificial olive tree with a real trunk? Then always pay attention to the build of trunk, branches and crown. The better that ratio, the stronger the natural effect.

A large artificial olive tree often works beautifully as a statement in an empty corner, beside a sideboard or in an entrance. Smaller models are perfect where you want to add atmosphere but don’t have room for a large tree.

Artificial olive tree for indoors

An indoor artificial olive tree is a popular choice because it suits almost any room. In the living room it adds warmth and softness; in an office it brings a calm, representative look; and in hospitality or retail it provides extra ambience without extra maintenance. That makes this plant suitable for both home and business use.

An artificial olive tree looks great in:

• the living room next to a cabinet or sofa
• the hall or entrance as a welcoming element
• a home office or workspace
• hospitality interiors with warm, natural accents
• showrooms, shop windows and reception areas

For indoor use, size is key. A tree that’s too small disappears in a large space, while one that’s too tall can dominate a compact interior. So it’s smart to look not only at height, but also at crown width and the exact spot where the tree will stand.

Can an artificial olive tree be used outdoors?

The question “can an artificial olive tree be used outdoors?” comes up often—and rightly so. Not every faux plant is automatically suitable for outside. An outdoor artificial olive tree needs to withstand light, temperature changes and sheltered placement. Within Eliassen’s range there are models that can be placed outdoors, provided you position them in a sheltered spot and not in full sun.

If you’re specifically looking for an outdoor artificial olive tree, keep these points in mind:

• place the tree sheltered from strong wind
• avoid prolonged full sun if the product advises against it
• choose a stable pot or weighted base
• always check per product whether outdoor use is suitable

A common follow‑up question is whether an artificial olive tree is UV‑resistant. That differs per model. Not every outdoor artificial olive tree is automatically UV‑resistant. Always check the product information if you want to place the tree outside for an extended period and read more in: UV‑resistant artificial plants: what is it?

Which size artificial olive tree suits your space?

The right size largely determines the end result. A small artificial olive tree can be perfect for an apartment, a narrow corner or a subtle accent. A large artificial olive tree draws more attention and works well in open spaces.

At Eliassen you can find variants such as an artificial olive tree in pot 120 cm, an olive tree in pot 160 cm and trunk models with olives in 120 cm, 150 cm and 180 cm. That lets you choose between a compact small artificial olive tree or a larger olive artificial tree for more effect.

Different versions within the range

Not every artificial olive tree looks the same. The execution determines the mood you create. Some models look calm and minimalistic; others stand out more because of the trunk shape or visible olives in the crown.

Artificial olive tree in pot

A potted model is practical if you want to place something that’s ready straight away. You can put the tree down as is, or set it into a matching flower pot or planter for a richer look. For a Mediterranean touch, choose, for example, Terracotta pots and jars. Placing the tree outside and want to move it easily? Then check out our Large lightweight outdoor plant pots.

Artificial olive tree on trunk

An olive tree on trunk often looks a bit more elegant and slender. That makes this type suitable for entrances, beside furniture, or in spaces where you want to add height without making the whole setting feel too full.

Artificial olive tree with olives

Want more character and a recognizable Mediterranean look? Then an artificial olive tree with olives is a great choice. The olives add extra detail and make the tree decorative without feeling busy.

Material, finish and maintenance

If you buy an artificial olive tree, you want it to stay beautiful for a long time. That’s why material and finish matter. Within Eliassen’s range you’ll find models made from recycled, PVC‑free plastic. That’s not only a conscious material choice, but also helps keep the plant’s shape and color neat.

Maintenance is simple. In practice, wiping with a damp cloth is usually enough. So there’s no need for watering, pruning or maintaining light and temperature. That makes an artificial olive tree ideal for people without green fingers, but also for busy households and businesses where convenience counts.

Buying an artificial olive tree: what should you look for?

If you want to buy an artificial olive tree, don’t just look at the height. Also note the style of the trunk, leaf density, the presence of olives and where you want to place it. For a calm, refined look, choose a slightly slimmer model. For a fuller appearance, a broader crown is nicer.

• Choose the size based on the space, not just on taste
• Check whether the model is intended for indoors or also sheltered outdoors
• Decide whether you want a version with or without olives
• Consider finishing it with a decorative pot
• Make sure the look matches your interior style

That way you can immediately see which artificial olive tree best suits your space. Also explore large artificial plants for indoors if you’re after a more eye‑catching model.
