How do you choose a wreath for a front door?

Generally, a front door Christmas wreath looks best when hung at eye level. It's best to choose a Christmas wreath that's about 15-25cm smaller than the width of your door. This will give your door that proper festive look. In terms of style, you can select from a great range of wreaths right here at Homebase to find that perfect look. We stock rustic, colourful, natural, artificial and pre-lit wreaths to suit almost all Christmas decoration styles.

What is the difference between a wreath and a garland?

The difference between a wreath and a garland is the shape. A wreath is a circular ring, while a garland is one line of foliage. Both a wreath and garland can be used as a Christmas mantelpiece decoration. A garland is typically better for decorating a staircase, while a wreath is generally used on front doors.

Where is the best place to hang a wreath on a door?

You can hang your Christmas wreath on an outside or inside door. An outdoor wreath is great for spreading Christmas cheer to neighbours and friends, while an indoor wreath can brighten up your home for your family. Traditional wreath placement on a door is hanging it in the centre at eye level. This is around 140cm high.
