Simple beautiful ways to create a warm & welcoming festive entry

Creating a magical Christmas welcome starts right at your front door. Whether you love a traditional red-and-green palette, a soft natural look, or a bold festive moment, your entryway sets the tone for the season.

Below, we’ve shared some of our favourite tips — along with real-home inspiration using pieces from our Christmas collection. Each example shows how a few key elements such as Christmas wreaths, garlands, oversized ornaments and giant Christmas bells can transform any doorway into something truly special.

1. Choose a Statement Christmas Wreath

Your Christmas wreath is the hero of your front door. Opt for something lush and full, with texture and detail that suits the style of your home. Whether you love frosted pine, classic berries or the richness of our red magnolia collection, a wreath instantly brings festive charm.

Emma has styled her entry with our Vermont Green Pre-Lit Wreath (60cm) and paired it with Oversized Gold Star Bells with red ribbons. This simple yet striking combination works beautifully with her coastal blue door, creating a fresh, festive and inviting look.

2. Make an Impact with Oversized Ornaments (or Keep It Simple)

For a show-stopping entryway, add scale with oversized Christmas ornaments such as giant bells, large baubles or decorative drums. These pieces create a playful, joyful feel and make the space feel more layered and complete.

If your space is smaller — or your style is more pared-back — you can still achieve beautiful Christmas curb appeal with just one or two hero pieces.

Angie has used our Spruce Pinecone Wreath and matching Spruce Pinecone Garland, styling them with a soft bow for a natural, textural look. She completed her entry with Oversized Gold Star Bells, adding matching bows to tie the whole look together — a welcoming, charming and festive display.

3. Add Christmas Garlands for Warmth & Height

Framing your doorway with a Christmas garland adds instant depth and draws the eye upward, especially when paired with warm pre-lit details. Choose a garland that complements your wreath so your entry feels cohesive and intentional.

Charlotte has decorated her front door using our Hamptons Blueberry Wreath with Lights (80cm). The simplicity of a single illuminated wreath against the dark door keeps the look clean, elegant and welcoming — proof that you don’t need lots of pieces to create a beautiful festive entrance.

4. Embrace Colour & Texture for a Classic Christmas Mood

If you love a traditional Christmas palette, lean into rich reds and full greenery. Pair a bold wreath — like our Red Magnolia Wreath — with matching garlands and berry accents to create depth and drama.

Layering pieces at different heights (door frame, balcony, windows) helps tie the entire façade together and makes your home feel ready for festive celebrations.

This striking doorway from our Christmas photoshoot features the Red Magnolia Wreath on a black door, framed with Vermont Green Pre-Lit Garlands around the entry and balcony. Red Berry Teardrops on the balcony and nearby windows add colour and movement, creating a truly classic and luxurious Christmas welcome.

5. Layer in Finishing Touches

Small details help bring your front door display to life:

• A seasonal doormat

• Potted greenery or topiary

• Lanterns or candles

• Bows, ribbons or berry sprays

• A cohesive colour palette that ties your Christmas wreath, garlands, oversized ornaments and red magnolia accents together
