HOW TO:
CREATE A CHRISTMAS GARLAND
Festive greenery has a long tradition and dates to pre-Christian winter solstice celebrations. Discover how to decorate your home with these timeless Christmas garland ideas
Classic heritage
Create a warm welcome for guests with an abundant garland featuring seasonal berries, frosted fruits and an array of glossy glass baubles. If you’ve opted for a red and gold decoration theme, complement your Christmas tree with matching garlands for a cohesive look throughout the home. Our elegant gold fern decorations and blush pink finial baubles bring the heritage theme into 2023 – use discreet wire hooks to attach them to your mantel.

Cosy retreat
If you are drawn to Scandinavian style then you won’t want to miss our Nordic-inspired Cosy retreat decorating theme, ideal for decorating a sideboard or windowsill. Bring the outside in with organic-looking elements: soft pine, ceramic ornaments and origami paper baubles. Soft, twinkling fairy lights will set off the subtle texture of dusted foliage and rustic coastal elements, including shells and adorable arctic wildlife. Less is more when recreating this colour palette to promote a minimalist aesthetic, so forgo any bright pops of colour and keep things organically neutral.
Enchanted forest
Nod to the origins of the winter solstice with ethereal decorations inspired by nature, such as shimmering toadstool baubles, silver sprigs and glitter-encrusted leaves. Combining evergreen foliage with metallics will create a considered, luxurious look and feel in any room, whether to highlight a mantelpiece or staircase. Choose warm white fairy lights to make high-shine baubles and embellishments twinkle after dark. Nocturnal woodland creatures add the final flourish.
