Create a Fabulously Festive Fireplace
The clocks have gone back, the Jack-o’-lantern’s have been extinguished, and the countdown to the most wonderful time of year is on! While Mariah defrosts and Bublé is warming those vocal cords, now’s the time to dress your home to the pines – and there’s no better place to start than with the humble fireplace.
A stylish focal point of any living space, it’s easy to rely on ‘the staples’ when it comes to adorning your fireplace. Stockings and a splash of holly can certainly make the season merry and bright, but why not go further and really spread the festive cheer this Christmas with an abundance of foliage, sparkles and a warm white glow.
The Heart of the Home
Nothing screams Christmas quite like traditional baubles. The dainty decorations have been used across the globe for generations to effortlessly ramp up the festive cheer, but let’s be honest – it can all be a bit of a drawn-out process to surround your foliage. Our ConnectGo® Outdoor Christmas Garland is perfect for cutting-out the middle man, and you can rest easy knowing your garland has arrived pre-lit and pre-decorated – how handy.
Simply drape it beneath your mantelshelf and let it effortlessly fall down the mantel legs to create an archway of foliage – the ultimate festive frame.
Incorporating bountiful wreaths and garlands into your festive décor helps to incorporate the beauty and tranquillity of nature into your home – and a simple pop of colour can make a big difference. The subtle blue berries buried beneath the leafy eucalyptus and pine in this Navy Berry Wreath and Garland are perfect for adding a burst of something different to your home. Navy is a huge trend this Christmas, so pairing this duo together above your mantel is a great way of including a subtle, stylish twist to your display.
Ignite your Senses
Although we’re firm believers that a garland and wreath can fully transform your home, we all know that with a name like Festive Lights, we’re a fan of surrounding a home in dazzling light.
Wire lights are small yet mighty, and thanks to their malleable wire, they’re easy to weave in and out of garland needles. The subtle warmth compliments the bright shine from our garland, adding further depth to your fireplace and illuminating your room. But why stop there?
Including battery powered decorations, such as this magical Firefly Star or Origami Hanging Christmas Star, is a great way of adding additional light to your home without the need for pesky wires or unsightly plugs. The Christmas star was originally depicted as a leading light for the wiseman, guiding them through the night on their journey towards the baby Jesus. Nowadays, it’s a Christmas staple used to sprinkle a little extra magic over your festive décor. Effortlessly move the star lights from your mantel shelf to beside your fire to mix up your styling day in, day out.
Festive Finishing Touches
No display is complete without the finishing touches, and to us, nothing screams ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ quite like a Christmas tree.
A mixture of retro paper decorations and stylish real wax LED candles are set to make this Christmas the most sustainable yet! While being both eye-catching and conveniently battery powered, these twinkling Paper Christmas Trees and trio of green Christmas Tree Wax Candles are perfect for bulking out and finalising your arrangement. And what’s a Christmas without flickering candlelight? This trio of smoked glass LED candles give a modern, metallic flare to your home, complimenting any wall-mounted mirrors or enhancing the welcoming warm glow of hundreds of LEDs.
