The front door is the first thing anyone sees at Christmas, and the mantel is where everyone gathers. Dress both with a matching Christmas wreath and garland and your home looks pulled-together from the doorstep to the fireplace, without filling every surface. Here are six matching looks from the Fleming's Christmas Shop, plus simple tips for hanging and styling them.
1. Snowy & Soft: Everlands Cozy
For a gentle "just been snowing" look, pair the Everlands 50cm Cozy Flocked Christmas Wreath (€24) with the Everlands 2.7m Cozy Flocked Garland (€38). The soft white flocking looks lovely against a navy, grey or sage front door, and on a white mantel it gives a calm, Scandi feel.
Style it: add warm white fairy lights and silver or pale gold baubles. Keep everything else simple and let the snowy texture do the work.
2. Classic Evergreen: Everlands Everest
The Everest range is a full, natural green, a blank canvas you can decorate your own way. Choose the 50cm Everest Wreath (€20) for a standard door or the 80cm Everest Wreath (€45) for a wide or double door, and match it with the 2.7m Everest Garland (€25).
Style it: tie on a big velvet bow, or tuck in baubles that match your Christmas tree.
3. Country Christmas: Natural Red Berry & Pine Cone
If you love a traditional Irish Christmas, this is the look. The Premier 45cm Natural Red Berry & Pine Cone Wreath (€45) and the matching 1.8m garland (€45) come ready-decorated with red berries and pine cones, so there's nothing to add.
Style it: pair with a wooden door, a stone fireplace, candles and a tartan throw. See our Country Christmas theme for more ideas.
4. Tartan Touch: Natural Berry with Ribbon
The Premier 50cm Natural Berry Wreath with Tartan Ribbon (€30) brings a cosy, heritage feel. Carry the ribbon detail indoors with the 1.8m Natural Berry Garland with Ribbon (€40) across the mantel.
Style it: red and green tableware, plaid cushions and a few brass candlesticks finish the look.
5. Full & Festive: New Jersey Berries & Cones
For a fuller, more decorated look, the New Jersey range adds berries and cones to lush green branches. Hang the 50cm New Jersey Wreath (€25) on the door. Then choose the 1.8m garland (€40) for the mantel or the 2.7m garland (€52) to wind up the staircase.
6. Fresh & Simple: Norfolk Pine
The Norfolk Pine's soft, delicate needles suit modern and minimalist homes. The 50cm Norfolk Pine Wreath (€20) and 1.8m Norfolk Pine Garland (€35) are an affordable way to bring in greenery without a lot of colour.
Style it: add a single row of warm white lights. That's all it needs.
Something smaller? The Premier 40cm Red Dressed Wreath with Baubles & Cones (€22) is ideal for an interior door, a window or a kitchen.
How to hang a Christmas wreath on a front door
- Over-the-door hook: the easiest option, with no drilling. Check that your door still closes properly.
- Adhesive hooks: good for uPVC and composite doors. Choose one rated for the wreath's weight.
- Ribbon from the top of the door: tie a wide ribbon around the wreath, run it over the top of the door and secure it on the inside. It looks lovely and leaves no marks.
- Height: hang the wreath at roughly eye level, usually centred in the upper half of the door.
What size wreath and garland do you need?
- Wreath: 40–45cm for interior doors and windows, 50cm for a standard front door, 80cm for wide or double doors.
- Garland: measure the mantel or banister and add about 30cm so it drapes naturally. A 1.8m garland suits most mantels, and 2.7m works for staircases and wide fireplaces.
How to make an artificial wreath look real
- Fluff every branch. Bend each tip out in different directions, which makes a big difference.
- Add texture. Tuck in a few pine cones, dried orange slices or sprigs of eucalyptus.
- Add light. Battery fairy lights woven through the branches add depth, especially at night.
- Store it well. After Christmas, keep it in a box or bag somewhere dry so it keeps its shape for next year.
