Is it beginning to look a lot like Christmas? Not until the holly is hanging from your own front door – and that’s official. Dunelm’s festive collection of wreaths and garlands is everything you’d expect of this seasonal staple – pretty, high quality and with plenty of choice. Just don’t forget a wreath hanger! Garlands can also be used on the Christmas tree (these are typically string or beaded garlands), as a table centrepiece, or even for windows, either pinned along the window frame or on the windowsill. The key feature of a wreath is that it’s evergreen, as that’s what denotes the circle of life, the immortal spirit, that makes it a seasonal item. On a practical level, it’s also the only type of plant that would still be thriving in the freezing north. So wreaths are usually made of holly, ivy, conifers and other trees and shrubs that are plentiful around this time of year. There are several common uses for garlands: Christmas garlands for stairs can be strung along a banister and winding staircase, while you can also buy garlands for fireplaces, creating a beautiful focal point on your mantel. Christmas garlands with lights (as a bundle or a light-up garland) will help to create a magical, festive ambience across the home. We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of lights, in a variety of different styles. If you’re wondering where to start in finding your perfect lights, why not use our handy lights guide
