A festive Christmas wreath is a good way to set the tone for any guests during the holiday season and, if joined by neighbours, can create a truly striking experience for anyone wandering down your street. While the traditional Christmas wreath features holly and ivy, in recent years people have become more experimental with their designs opting for alternative looks for their door. Not sure what style you\u2019re after? Read on for some wreath inspiration.<\/p>\n<h2>Nature-inspired Christmas wreath<\/h2>\n<p>Let nature inspire your wreath this season and adorn your door with pieces of flora of all different types.

There are several places where you can hang your Christmas wreath indoors so you can enjoy its festivity from inside your home.<\/p>\n<h3>Above your mantelpiece<\/h3>\n<p>Hanging a wreath above your mantelpiece can create a striking look in the centre of your living room. An array of other Christmas decorations can nestle either side of your wreath, think rustic wooden trees and little nativity figures for a truly festive scene.<\/p>\n<h3>In your hallway<\/h3>\n<p>Welcome guests into your home by creating a festive hallway. Hang your wreath above your coat rack or set it on a console table next to Christmas spiced candles or fragrance sticks. If you\u2019re looking to change up your hallway this season why not browse our range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk\/category\/console-tables\/\">console tables<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk\/category\/hallway-furniture-storage\/\">hallway storage<\/a> options?<\/p>\n<h3>Above your bed<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to seasonal decorations, the bedroom often gets forgotten in favour of other more social rooms. Bring Christmas to every room of the house and hang a wreath above your bed or attach it to your bed board. Note: for a bedroom wreath, be careful not to use any glitters or dry wood that might flake while sleeping.<\/p>\n<h3>On the back of dining chairs<\/h3>\n<p>Smaller wreaths can be hung on the back of dining chairs to create the perfect setting for your Christmas meal. Similarly, you could choose a statement wreath centerpiece for your dining table to bring festivity to every meal this December.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20951 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Xmas-chairs788x940.jpg\" alt=\"Wreath\" width=\"788\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Xmas-chairs788x940.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Xmas-chairs788x940-320x382.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Xmas-chairs788x940-560x668.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Xmas-chairs788x940-20x24.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Xmas-chairs788x940-640x763.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Wreath: @<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ahimsa_design\/\">ahimsa_design<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d love to see which wreath style you go for and where you put it in your home.
