It’s never too early to start decorating for Christmas – our collective excuse to turn the house into something borderline theatrical. As the season ramps up, we begin the annual transformation: fairy lights strung within an inch of their life, a scattering of festive ornaments and, of course, the all-important Christmas wreath.
For centuries, the wreath has been the season’s quiet ambassador – the first to appear, the last to come down, and in Australia at least, second only to the tree in festive hierarchy.
Whether you lean toward something handmade or prefer a contemporary take on the Christmas favourite, we’ve found a selection of Christmas wreaths that you won’t see on everyone’s front door.

What is the significance of a wreath on the front door?
A wreath on the door signals that guests are welcome and conviviality, and it’s a classic symbol of cheer and generosity. The circular shape of the wreath speaks to cycles, continuity and fresh beginnings, reminding us that the season is as much about renewal as it is about celebration.
How do you hang a Christmas wreath?
There’s no single way to hang a Christmas wreath, but a few methods make life easier (and your door happier). An over-the-door hanger is the simplest fix, while adhesive hooks work just as well inside or out. If you’d rather avoid marks altogether, loop a ribbon from a small hook or tack and let the wreath hang neatly in place.
