11 fabulous faux trees, garlands and wreaths for festive décor

We all have our favourite Christmas decorations – those nostalgic hand-me-downs that cheer us every year…

Wreaths which warm our hearts with joyous ribbons, and trusty artificial trees that don’t shed their needles.

But what if your ring of holly is looking a little lacklustre, or the pre-lit pine has lost its brightness?

Or you may have downsized to a smaller space – thinking more bijou than bumper aesthetic?

To make your space look its sparkling best, Santa’s helpers have rounded up some favourite finds to see you happily through the festive season…
