When it comes to Christmas decorating, most people focus on the inside of their homes. They hang up bright lights, display festive ornaments, and put up a Christmas tree to help get them in the holiday spirit. While you’re prepping your home ahead of Santa’s visit, it’s important that you decorate its exterior as well, and there’s nothing quite as welcoming and festive as a Christmas wreath on your front door. From traditional to fun and artsy, there’s a Christmas wreath out there for just about every style and taste, and we’ve shortlisted five of our favourites.
Christmas wreaths are getting more creative and out-of-the-box, and one of our favourite unconventional trends is the geometric wreath. You can buy this creative piece online or try your hand at creating one of your own with brass tubes, metal and brass wiring, and some reliable adhesive. You can also jazz up your geometric wreath with colourful flowers or add a traditional element to it with some greenery and acorns.
If you think Christmas gifts only belong under your tree – think again! You can put them on the door as well. Welcome guests to your home with this charming wreath made with tons of mini gift boxes. The best thing about this wreath idea is that it’s easy to put together. Grab some floral wire, mini gift boxes of various sizes, and a glue gun. Just be sure to arrange the boxes on the wire in an aesthetically pleasing way.
A berry wreath is the perfect Christmas decoration for homeowners who love a more traditional look. It sticks with conventional Christmas colours and elements to help give your home that classic holiday vibe. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to make. Simply adorn a standard Christmas wreath with real or artificial berries. You can even add a bow, bells or a bit of frost to give it more character.
Along with Christmas presents come lots of bows. Instead of throwing extra bows away, you can use them to create a fun and artsy wreath for your front door. Bow wreaths are colourful, whimsical and take a different approach to a classic Christmas decoration. Just grab any extra ribbons you have lying around from gift wrapping and glue them on a wreath form. If you don’t have ribbons on hand, you can always get them for a low cost at your local arts and crafts store.
If you prefer a more natural aesthetic, organic wreaths are the way to go. These wreaths use a neutral palette, natural elements, and clean lines to bring a sense of calm and serenity to what can be a hectic time of the year. You can use grapevines to form the wreath’s base and shape, then deck it out with tons of foliage, feathers, acorns, and flowers to bring it to life. The organic wreath is simple, inexpensive and a great way to bring the outdoors inside this holiday season.
Decorating your home’s exterior for the holidays can be just as fun and creative as jazzing up its interior. Plus, it helps set the mood and gets everyone in the holiday spirit as soon as they step in your front yard. If you’re a fan of holiday décor, we’re sure you’ll have a blast trying out a few of these creative Christmas wreaths.
