Festive Decoration Wishlist

October 17, 2017
Christmas tree and lights

Ever since I first moved into my flat I have had a slimline pop-up Christmas tree. When I first bought it, it worked perfectly for the space and it was already decorated so I only had to add a few bits on there. Now though I am yearning for something a bit more proper, I want a full-sized tree, one I can spend hours decorating and that will make my space feel even more Christmassy.

Blue Mountain Spruce Christmas Tree

Now the very first thing I need for my festival decoration is, of course, a Christmas tree and in an ideal world I would have something stunning like this Blue Mountain Spruce tree from Cox and Cox as it’s a beautiful seven-foot tree with over 2,700 frosted sage tips so it won’t be all thin and lifeless like some of the ones you see from Argos and such places. It looks so full and realistic that I know I would be able to fill it with beautiful decorations, lights and tinsel to make my flat feel really Christmassy.

Anter Wreath

I have wanted a wreath for a long time but seeing as I live in a flat where less people would see it it wouldn’t really work on my door so I’d be looking for something to go above my hallway table inside. For this reason, I would want something pretty subtle so this Anter wreath from Cox and Cox would be perfect. In the image small lights have been added around the wreath and I would do the same thing as I think it really makes it stand out.

Wreath and star lights

Twig Light Up Garlands

As something to wrap around the above wreath, I found these jewelled twig lights which are beautiful, so much so that I’d definitely have them up all year round if I had my way. You can bend the copper wire into any shape and they stay so I know they’d be awesome on a wreath and the warm white LED lights would really light up my flat.

Copper Wire Stars

My living room is themed with a copper colouring and I have a few copper stars hanging around on top of some units so these copper wire stars with naked wire lights would make a welcome addition alongside them. In the Winter time, I think fairy lights make such a lovely atmosphere and I tend to have them on quite often, although the great thing about these is that they have a timer function so I know there’s so no chance I’d forget and leave them on all night.

Pin It!

Here's my list of awesome festive decorations you need this year!

    Are there Christmas trees places that sell live trees in Britain? We used two fake trees ourselves but at old job,we sold live trees and this has me curious.

    Everything is so pretty! We have a fireplace for the first time in our new house and I can’t wait to decorate it.

  14. Suzy McCullough says:

    The copper light up stars are lovely. I adore Christmas decorations and buy at least 5 new ones a year lol. You can never have too many right? I love the smell of real trees but with all the pines they drop they just aren’t practical. This tree looks like a great compromise.

  15. Tanya says:

    I need the Twig Light Up Garlands in my life! They are the cutest Christmas I’ve seen so far this year, I will definitely be getting these on pay day

  16. nicol says:

    oh my, everything please! I’ve never seen a twig garland before. that would go well with my twig lights I have

  18. claire @ The ladybirds' adventures says:

  19. Cal at Family Makes says:

    I love the choices you have made. We have a lovely big hallway for the first time this year, so I’d love a big 7-foot tree too. I’m absolutely in love with the Antler Wreath – I think I’m going to have to order it right now! (Hope you don’t mind me copying!)

  20. Lauretta at Home and Horizon says:

    Whoa! I can really feel the festive season. Loving the Twig Lights. You can definitely have it hanging even after the festive season.

  21. Heidi Brown says:

    You’re making me feel so festive. I love our Christmas tree, it’s fake but its lovely and we decorate it Red and Gold every year. I was thinking we need a change but as it’s taken me 5 years to get the coverage with these colours I think I’m gonna have to stick with it!

  22. Kate Williams says:

    Oh that antler wreath is gorgeous! We’ve moved from a new house to a period one this year so I’m really looking forward to getting to properly decorate for Christmas.

    Somehow I have a thing for lighted up decors … not only are they festive, it feels like it brightens up the mood. I absolute adore the Faux Antler Wreath!!!! It’s perfect and I am adding it to my wishlist for our little one’s nursery. Once it outgrows the setting I can add it to my home office. 😉

  28. Emily Leary says:

    I think the Anter wreath is very pretty – it looks so realistic I had to go check if it was real! I think adding a few lights is a great touch, it creates such lovely shadows.
