Whether it’s adorning your stairway with a gorgeous metallic garland, welcoming in your guests with an impressive Christmas wreath or dressing your tree with some quirky baubles, a gold Christmas scheme is a classic, versatile and oh-so-opulent way to fill your home full of festive spirit. Put simply, you don’t need much to make an impact, and it’s one of the few holiday décor schemes that'll continue to stand the test of time, year after year.

Why not bring a touch of nature to your Christmas tree this year? Pinecones are a classic festive decoration, and these gold-sprayed beauties definitely add a touch of glamour, too! You get 18 wooden pinecone ornaments in this set, each measuring between 3cm and 5cm, so be aware that they're a little smaller than the chunky ones you might stumble across in the park!
Each pinecone comes with a loop of string attached so they're ready to hang - or you can simply nestle them in the branches for a more natural look. Also available in silver or multicolour finish.
Vintage Style Gold Baubles
These retro-effect baubles are beautiful on a traditional green tree, and they'll create a lovely nostalgic look when teamed with a gold beaded garland. They also look great with old-fashioned lametta, or even paper chain garlands if you're after an eclectic vintage look.
