Your local British Garden Centres storeswill provide some inspiration and fun and easy ways to create beautiful yuletide ideas for your home.
Deck your halls
Start by visiting your local British Garden Centre store for string lights, ornaments, and garlands. Consider decorating your front door for Christmas and create a welcoming entrance with a festive wreath on your front door. Your local store has some great starter wreath kits for you to decorate. Why not use evergreen branches from your garden, pinecones, colourful ribbons, and matching baubles to customise your wreath and give it a personal touch?

Wrap them around your bannisters, drape them over your mantlepiece, or create a twinkling backdrop around your doorframes for your family gatherings. With a vast collection of colours and styles available in store. Our selection of lights can add a magical ambience to any room.
Table centrepieces
Create a stunning centrepiece for your dining table using seasonal elements like candles, berries, fresh flowers, and evergreen sprays. Incorporating these natural elements will bring a touch of elegance to your dining table for the big Christmas meal. Get creative and use small lanterns or indoor pots to complete the look.
Festive table settings
Set a festive table for your holiday meals by mixing and matching your dinnerware with seasonal accents. Consider using decorative chargers, cloth napkins, and place cards to elevate your table settings. Adding small touches like personalized name cards or festive napkin rings can make your table feel extra special.
Cosy lounge
Add festive throw pillows and blankets to your living room to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Choose pillows and blankets in rich, warm colours and festive patterns to complement your existing decor. These simple additions can instantly transform your space for comfort and warmth over the Christmas break.
Embrace Christmas scents
During the winter season, lighting up seasonal candles and diffusers can create an inviting and festive atmosphere in your home.
