Decorating Your Home for Christmas

Product Featured: The Fabulous Gold Eucalyptus Style Wreath | Expected In Stock End Of October

Go big or go home is our maximalist decorating manifesto at Christmas time. So really make an impact by starting at the entrance of your home. For most people, this would include an incredible door wreath, but we also recommend incorporating a few other touches too.

For your front door recommendations with a twist, check out our range of wreaths and garlands here. The embellish your doorway with a cheeky and festive doormat with our It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Doormat (expected in stock at the end of October). If you have lots of space on your front porch we also recommend hanging a garland above your doorway with outdoor fairy lights. You could even go all about and place a small potted Christmas Tree next to your door with quirky Christmas tree decorations.

Decorating for Christmas doesn't have to stop in the hallway. Curate an ultra dazzling interior on your staircase that will wow guests and bring a delightful festive charm into your home this season!

A decorated bannister is super impactful and will make a stunning statement from the moment you walk into your home. Easy to do, wrap the Copper Cluster Light Chain around your bannister to bring a glorious glow into your space instantly. Then, accessorise! So, go to town with honeycomb balls in mustards, greens and pinks and finish with some beautiful Faux Fern Leaves. You could even hang baubles and ornaments from your display too.

Our next tip for making sure your house is looking its best for Christmas is to transform your fireplace.

Traditionally we hang Christmas stockings on our fireplace, but we want you to take it a few steps further and make an incredible display. So, for example, fill your fireplace with stacked logs and start hanging some Fabulous Faux Ivy to start with. It looks so lovely, but it's also a subtle twist that works for more minimalist Christmas styles. Please remember to never light your fire once decorated with all of your lovely adornments!

Then create a festive mantlepiece. Most importantly, candles are an absolute must for your Christmassy Mantlepiece. Layer scented candles to infuse the room with incredible smells and then create interest with varying candlestick heights. To add a sense of fun to your mantlepiece then mix up your candlestick holders - we always love a quirky candlestick holder to make people smile. Next, hang a garland from your mantlepiece. Our Champagne Glitter Ball Garland and Ochre Paper Tassel Garland would be fantastic for this. Then, weave fairy lights across the top of your mantlepiece and finish with your pretty Paper Trees.

Start With The Fairy Lights

Products Featured: Silver Starburst Light Chain

The most important step to Christmas Tree Decorating is to start with the fairy lights. First of all, plug the lights in and test them before you put them on your tree. There is nothing worse than wrapping your tree in fairy lights only to find that the lights don't work.

Once you're happy that they all work, wrap the tree lights up the trunk of your tree and then once you've fully decorated your tree decorate the branches with a second set for a spectacular effect.

Build The Centre

Products Featured: Rainbow Bauble Garland

Next up, we recommend filling out the centre of your Christmas Tree. This could be with tinsel with mini colourful baubles. Display your baubles or tinsel closer to the centre of the tree to create a maximalist effect.
