8 best Christmas wreaths for decorating your front door this festive season

With its mix of pinecones, white and blue berries, baubles and irregular foliage, this is an impressively authentic looking faux wreath. In fact, it looks so lovingly hand-made with its natural base poking through the greenery, it’s guaranteed to fool the neighbours. At 55cm in diameter, it is perfectly sizable, too. We love the way the colour of the berries is echoed in the navy blue baubles, it’s a subtle touch that adds an understated bit of sparkle to the otherwise all-natural aesthetic. Stylish, artisanal (in look if not make), and at just £25, enticingly affordable.

Proving that less is more, even at Christmas, is this stylishly understated berry wreath from Sophie Allport. This is another Mother Nature dupe made from polyester, but which looks every bit like the real thing. It features an abundance of juicy red berries wrapped around a slim, twiggy circular frame, and it is the irregularity of the fruit that awards it its authenticity. The wreath reaches 50cm at its widest point, making it ideal for the front door but also an option for a table centrepiece. This one’s all about cosy, winter rustic style.

If you want to make a standout statement on your front door this Christmas, swap out the foliage for full-on sparkle. This contemporary wreath boasts a mass of twinkly silver stars wrapped around a vine-covered frame. Look closely and you’ll see that each individual star is covered in glitter, which catches the light beautifully and gives the piece a dynamic depth – who needs integrated fairy lights when you have the streetlights reflected in this number? Boasting top John Lewis quality and durability, we think this is a steal at just £20.

There are Christmas wreaths, and then there are spectacular circular lighting installations for your front door. This contemporary beauty features over 3,000 tiny bulbs which are tightly wrapped around a sturdy wire frame to produce an ethereal halo of light. The bulbs are a warm white, which keeps the look classy, while the frame boasts a 58cm diameter, making it significantly larger than most.

It is mains powered via a discreet lead that needs to be kept indoors and away from the elements and it’s not cheap. However, we think it’s a luxurious wreath and promises to be timeless, so you can bring it out and wow your street for plenty of Christmases to come.

If only a natural wreath will do, and if you’re feeling particularly creative, we loved this base from Ivyline. Available in 40cm and 50cm configurations, the piece is made from natural wicker, which is a sustainable and organic material. Unlike some cheaper wreath bases we’ve seen, this one features an intricate criss-crossing pattern, making it ideal for crafters to fix their foliage tightly and securely. Whichever size you plump for you can enjoy layering this one up, and while it’s ideal as a base for a full-on lush Christmassy wreath, it also works beautifully partly exposed, or with a subtle flourish of foliage on the side.

We know and love The White Company for many things, but one of the brand’s lesser-known brags is its incredibly realistic faux Christmas trees, garlands, and wreaths. This luxury wreath features a mix of fir branches, pinecones, pussywillow, frosted leaves and white berries, all doing a great job at mimicking the real thing. Of course, much of the realism is in the arrangement, and like the very best faux, this extra-large wreath has its idiosyncrasies, giving it a charming craft-driven look. The wreath also boasts subtly twinkly lights, via 50 tiny battery-powered bulbs with a nifty six-hour timer.

We loved this maximalist dream of a Christmas wreath with its tightly packed baubles (of which there are an impressive 217), and its mix of colour and texture. At 60cm in diameter, the large, contemporary wreath really packs a punch – and lets the neighbours know that you are Christmas party ready. With a mix of shapes and sizes, the baubles have been carefully arranged to fit the metal frame without any gaps, while the mix of finishes offers a dynamic touch. But what we loved most about this one was its overall simple circular shaping, which keeps it perfectly chic, despite the kaleidoscope of colour.

Our final pick is perhaps our prettiest. The Laura Ashley wreath comprises frosted cones, faux snowberries, and smoky glass baubles on a natural willow ring. This one boasts particularly long fronds and seasonal leaves, which gives it a sense of movement. It is craft-driven and artisanal in look, and it makes an impressive faux with its realistic foliage. It also features 10 delicate fairy lights, which are battery powered – we loved the addition of the grey satin drawstring bag, which conceals the small battery pack. Placed indoors or out, it makes a lush addition to the Christmas décor.
