Create a Festive Welcome: How to Style Faux Christmas Wreaths for Timeless Home Decor
When it comes to Christmas home decor, there’s nothing quite as inviting as a beautifully styled wreath. It’s the first thing guests see when they arrive, setting the tone for everything that awaits inside — warmth, beauty, and a touch of festive magic. Whether hung proudly on your front door, styled above a fireplace, or used as a table centrepiece, a Christmas wreath is a timeless way to bring that unmistakable festive charm into your home.
But not all wreaths are created equal. Real wreaths, while beautiful, can quickly shed, dry out, or lose their colour — meaning they often don’t last the season. That’s where faux Christmas wreaths come in. With today’s incredibly realistic designs, you can achieve the same lush, full look of fresh greenery but with the added benefits of durability, flexibility, and longevity.
So, if you’re wondering how to style faux Christmas wreaths to create a truly timeless festive welcome, this guide is for you. We’ll walk you through styling ideas, creative touches, and ways to make your wreath feel personal, elegant, and full of Christmas spirit — using beautiful pieces from our collection.
Why Choose Faux Christmas Wreaths?
Before we dive into styling, let’s talk about why faux wreaths have become a home styling essential for so many people in recent years. The benefits go far beyond appearance.
1. They last for years to come
Faux wreaths are an investment in timeless home decor. Once you find a style you love, you can bring it out year after year — it’ll look just as beautiful each Christmas as the day you bought it.
Our Faux Snow-Dusted Foliage and Berry Wreath, for example, stays perfectly fluffed and fresh-looking no matter the weather, meaning your doorway looks welcoming throughout the festive season.
2. They’re low maintenance
No watering, no dropping needles, no wilted greenery. Once your wreath is up, that’s it — no upkeep required. Whether you’re busy hosting, travelling, or just want a stress-free Christmas, faux Christmas wreaths let you enjoy the beauty of festive foliage without the faff.
3. They’re reusable and eco-friendly
A good quality faux wreath can last for years, reducing waste and saving you money in the long run. Simply store it carefully, and it’ll be ready to hang again next year.
4. They’re incredibly versatile
From rustic farmhouse styles to modern minimalism, there’s a faux Christmas wreath to suit every home. You can dress them up with velvet ribbons, pinecones, and bells, or keep them beautifully simple for a timeless look.
Traditionally, wreaths hang on front doors — but there are so many creative ways to style them around your home. Here are a few of our favourite home styling ideas for wreaths that make an impact in every room.
Creating a Warm Welcome: Where to Display Your Wreath
1. Front Door Magic
Let’s start with the classic — your front door. It’s the first thing guests see and the easiest way to add instant festive charm.
Our Faux Snow-Dusted Foliage and Berry Wreath is perfect here. Its realistic frosted finish and rich berries catch the winter light beautifully. For a simple yet striking look, tie a wide velvet ribbon at the top in a shade like deep forest green or burgundy and let it hang down for that luxurious touch.
If you want a twist on tradition, try the Frosted Pine Teardrop Wreath. Its elegant shape feels a little unexpected while still keeping that Christmassy feel. Hang it slightly lower on the door, and add a cluster of bells in the centre for a soft festive jingle every time the door opens.
2. Over the Fireplace
Wreaths aren’t just for the outside of your home. Hanging one above your fireplace creates a beautiful focal point that anchors your Christmas home decor.
The Sparkle Berry Heart Wreath is ideal for this — its heart shape adds a touch of warmth and romance to your living room. Pair it with garlands of faux winter foliage draped across the mantel, flickering candles, and gold accents for that timeless Christmas home decor look that never goes out of style.
3. On Interior Doors and Cupboards
If you love a coordinated look, hang smaller wreaths on interior doors or even on the fronts of cupboards in your kitchen or hallway. It’s a subtle way to carry your festive theme throughout your home.
Style tip: use matching ribbons on each wreath to tie the look together — literally!
4. As a Table Centrepiece
For a unique touch, lay a wreath flat on your dining or console table and place a hurricane lantern or candle cluster in the centre.
The Frosted Pine Teardrop Wreath works beautifully for this. Its slightly elongated shape means it fits perfectly along a dining table runner, adding texture and depth to your luxury Christmas accessories.
5. In Windows or Mirrors
Hanging a wreath in a window gives your home a magical glow from the outside and a warm view from within. It’s also a lovely alternative if you want to make smaller spaces feel festive.
You can also hang a wreath from a large wall mirror — it reflects the twinkle of fairy lights and instantly adds festive charm.
Styling Ideas: How to Make Your Wreath Feel Extra Special
This is where you can really have fun. Faux wreaths are brilliant because they’re so easy to style and restyle each year. Once you have your base, you can change up the ribbons, add new decorations, or keep it beautifully minimal depending on your mood or theme.
Here are a few creative home styling ideas to inspire you.
1. Add Velvet Ribbon for a Luxe Touch
Velvet ribbon is one of the simplest ways to make your faux Christmas wreath feel luxurious. Choose colours that complement your existing home decor — rich green, berry red, deep navy, or even soft blush for a more understated look.
You can tie a neat bow at the top of your wreath or let long ribbons cascade down your door for a dramatic effect. If you’re going for a modern country style, opt for natural tones like olive, taupe, or rust.
2. Layer in Bells for Festive Charm
There’s something undeniably joyful about the sound of bells at Christmas. Tuck a few small brass or silver bells into your wreath for a traditional feel, or tie them together with ribbon at the base of your wreath bow.
This little detail brings both sound and sparkle — a subtle, nostalgic nod to Christmases past.
3. Add Natural Elements like Pinecones
Even with faux winter foliage, you can still enjoy the look of nature by adding real or artificial pinecones. The contrast between the snowy greenery and the warm, woody tones creates a balanced, natural finish.
Cluster a few pinecones together on one side of your wreath for an asymmetrical look, or scatter them evenly around the edge for a classic design.
4. Mix and Match Textures
Don’t be afraid to layer different materials — that’s what makes a wreath look truly full and realistic. Combine your Faux Snow-Dusted Foliage and Berry Wreath with sprigs of Frosted Pine or add a few extra sparkle berry stems for texture.
A mix of matte and glossy finishes helps catch the light beautifully and gives your wreath that luxury Christmas accessories feel.
5. Add a Touch of Sparkle
A little shimmer goes a long way. You don’t need glitter everywhere — a few subtle touches will catch the light and make your wreath feel magical when the sun or fairy lights hit it.
Look for foliage with frosted or metallic accents, or add delicate fairy lights woven through the branches for a warm festive glow.
How to Layer and Build a Statement Wreath
If you love a creative project, you can also layer faux Christmas wreaths to create a truly bespoke design. Here’s how:
-
Start with a base wreath – something simple like a plain faux pine or eucalyptus wreath.
-
Add your statement pieces – this might be your snow-dusted foliage and berry wreath or sparkle berry heart wreath as the top layer.
-
Secure with floral wire – gently attach the layers together so they sit naturally without looking too heavy.
-
Add your finishing touches – ribbons, pinecones, or bells for texture and festive flair.
Layering is a great way to create depth and turn your wreath into a true home styling statement.
The Beauty of Realistic Faux Foliage
One of the things people love most about our faux Christmas wreaths is how realistic they are. The snow-dusted foliage looks as though it’s just been gathered from a frosty garden, while the frosted pine has that soft, natural texture of freshly cut greenery.
The attention to detail — from the delicate shimmer of the berries to the varied leaf tones — means your wreath doesn’t just look beautiful up close; it looks authentic from a distance too.
And because these designs are built to last, you can restyle them year after year without worrying about them losing their shape or charm.
Fun, Creative Styling for the Festive Season
One of the joys of working with faux wreaths is how fun they are to style. There’s no need to worry about crushing delicate leaves or breaking stems — you can gently bend and shape them until you get your desired look.
Set aside an afternoon, put on your favourite Christmas playlist, and enjoy getting creative. Try different ribbon colours, play around with placement, and don’t be afraid to experiment.
Whether you’re going for a traditional look with rich reds and golds or something softer with silvers and pale greens, the beauty of faux wreaths is that they’re completely customisable.
The Benefits of Faux Christmas Wreaths
To summarise, here are the key reasons faux wreaths are becoming the go-to choice for timeless home decor:
-
Reusable – Bring them out year after year; they’ll always look stunning.
-
Cost-effective – One beautiful wreath can last many seasons.
-
Low maintenance – No mess, no watering, no wilting.
-
Customisable – Style them your way with ribbons, bells, or pinecones.
-
Weatherproof – Perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
-
Timeless – Faux foliage never goes out of style.
Styling Faux Wreaths with Your Home Decor
To create a truly cohesive look, tie your wreath styling into the rest of your Christmas home decor.
If your home features soft, neutral tones, choose wreaths with frosted foliage and gentle shimmer — like our Faux Snow-Dusted Foliage and Berry Wreath. Pair it with white candles, glass baubles, and natural wood tones.
If you prefer a more traditional style, the Sparkle Berry Heart Wreath pairs beautifully with tartan ribbons, red berry garlands, and brass candle holders.
For those who love rustic charm, the Frosted Pine Teardrop Wreath looks stunning alongside woven baskets, chunky knits, and warm metallics.
Creating a Timeless Christmas Look
When decorating for Christmas, it’s easy to get caught up in trends — but the most beautiful homes are the ones that feel timeless. Faux wreaths help you achieve exactly that.
Their classic shapes, realistic foliage, and versatile designs mean you can style them to suit your personality year after year. And because they never wilt or fade, they become part of your timeless Christmas home decor collection — pieces you look forward to unpacking every festive season.
