While most of us in the UK traditionally think of hanging a wreath on our front doors at Christmas, this isn't the same tradition world wide. In America, the art of dressing your front door is huge in comparison to the UK with households going all out with their designs. The best way to hang Christmas decorations on a front is firstly by doing so without marking or damaging the paint or door itself, because after they come down the door still needs to look good. A wreath door hanger is the best way to hang a wreath without causing damage. The design clips over the top of the door frame and provides a sturdy metal hook. Frances Clements, Christmas Buyer at Homebase says, ‘This time of year is wonderfully full of warmth and brightness. Outdoor lights and decorations are such a fabulous way to add Christmas cheer to not only your own home but for the community as well. This year we have extended our range of LED, energy efficient lighting and outdoor decorations to our largest selection ever, ranging from bright and colourful, bold statements, and fun inflatables to more traditional and subtle lighting styles. No matter what your taste, there will be something at Homebase for you this festive season.’ What goes on your door at Christmas? Balloon arches are the decorating trend of the moment, adding wow factor to front doors in an instant.

But with the rising costs of home energy and most of us expected to feel the pinch this Christmas, forking out on pricey decorations and lights but not be the best way to spend our hard earned cash.
