Set the tone for Christmas celebrations by decorating your porch with festive flourishes.  A natural wreath on the front door ensures an inviting welcome for your guests, while also highlighting architectural detailing for a spectacular focal point.  We have used a twig wreath, willow bell and willow star to create a traditional looking door decoration.  The willow stars also look really pretty when used as a Christmas tree decorations (see below).  All items are available from Comfort and Joy.

At Comfort and Joy we love decorating in a traditional English cottage style and the hallway is the first glimpse into the interior of your home, so conjuring up that welcoming ambience also means decorating hall with accessories, cards and other attractive items.  Shown here is our beautiful Christmas card holder, a delicate metal heart with a French grey finish.  It actually looks good all year round…. not just at Christmas!  Use it for storing notes and reminders in the kitchen, or as a pretty alternative to frames for photographs.

Here are some more great natural decorating ideas which are popular for either home or garden.  The willow decorations have a cute red gingham hanging ribbon so they are easy to hang on a wall, beam or on the Christmas tree, they instantly inject life and cheery colour on the darkest of winter days  – we find that opting for traditional accessories and decorations adds a charm, character and softness to the home at Christmas.Heart decoration
