When it comes to doorscaping, charming décor and celestial centrepieces, a Christmas wreath is one of the most heartening ways to say welcome.

Moreover, you can up the ante by using them as wall art, tying them to the back of a chair with a ribbon to match your scheme, and laying them flat on a table and crowning the centre with LED candles.

To complete the look, a garland adds the final flourish and string of fairy lights sets the scene for a winter wonderland…
