The Christmas season is upon us and it’s time for some festive fun. But there’s nothing fun about searching the shed for your dusty old holiday decorations.
This year, why not invest in some festive fixings that you can leave up long after Santa has shimmied down your chimney?
1. Lanterns
Paper or fabric lanterns make great decorative pieces on front steps or around the mantel no matter the time of year. Add a bit of Christmas curb appeal by placing a few lanterns on each side of your front door.
2. Outdoor fairy lights

4. A customisable letter board
If you love to express yourself through your home décor, then a felt letter board belongs on your Christmas list this year. Choose a message to show your guests how you really feel about the holidays, then use it to express yourself year-round.
5. A modern wreath
Who says a wreath should be reserved for Christmas? A geometric shape or non-traditional material can turn your beloved holiday wreath into a front-door staple you’ll enjoy all year.
