Double Act

Break tradition by placing Christmas trees outside your front door and decorate them as much or as little as you wish! Coated in snow they look very festive and appealing to all.

Big and Bold
A grand entrance deserves grand decorations, and these pillars entwined with garlands are no exception! Cinnamon sticks, dried fruit and bundles of red berries add plenty of Christmas character.

Simply Seasonal
If you prefer to take a more subtle approach, then a simple wreath is always a great way of adding instant Christmas charm. Pared with pastel colours, they can be given a fresh, modern feel.
