Yes, Christmas is still a way off yet, but the reality is, great Christmas decor can't wait — blink and you miss it, the way Christmas decor is going out of stock earlier and earlier these days.
So, I have been doing some early festive decor hunting to see what stylish pieces are on the market, and that's when I came across nkuku's Natesa Hanging Wreath — a stunning metal Christmas wreath serving a minimalist Christmas dream.
Elegant, delicate, and handcrafted, this is the kind of piece that has me totally rethinking my Christmas wreath ideas. And for £35? I don't think it's going to be "hanging" around (sorry) in stock for long...
When I first came across this stunning metal Christmas wreath, I did not think it was made of iron — the fact that it is makes it an even more excellent find, as it will be far more durable than its natural vine counterparts.
Each piece of iron is hand-cut, shaped, and finished with a durable powder coating to prevent rusting — also making it suitable for covered outdoor spaces.
Available in both large and small options, this statement piece will bring a chic decorative layer to your Christmas table decor ideas. And if you ever want to mix up your styling, you could add some foliage, like eucalyptus, or a set of string lights, like these Jsdoin Fairy Lights on Amazon.
Up close and personal with the iron detailing — minimalist Christmas decor at its finest.
I had never thought of having a horizontal hanging wreath before, but it really is a wonderful Christmas table centerpiece idea, and one which I am very keen to try out.
Our editor, Hugh Metcalf, is a fan of a hanging wreath and the design possibilities they bring: "I love these horizontal wreaths as a way to add a bit of festive coziness to a scheme, especially over a dining table where you've opted away from an overhead pendant.
"They bring down the ceiling height, make the dining table feel grounded, and the whole affair a lot more intimate. But you don't have to just limit it to a dining table — my mum has one she always puts up in her living room in the center of the room, and it makes for such a pretty focal point when you enter at Christmas time."
I like the idea of being able to mix it up as well — where you put it, and how you style it — depending on the decor theme you're going for. Keep the wreath as it is for minimalist vibes, or go all gung-ho with foliage, lights, decorations, the works, for a maximalist Christmas of dreams.

Alternative Nkuku Christmas Wreaths
If you're not completely sold on the horizontal hanging wreath style, but like the idea of having a more minimalist, metal Christmas wreath, nkuku has a whole selection of iron and brass wreaths, of which I have included my favorites below.
With delicate glass beads which give the impression of little icy droplets, this brass wreath is formed from hand-cut metal and would look just as lovely styled on your table as a centerpiece, as it would having on the wall.
I love the depth of color on the Ishana Wreath, with the almost chocolate-brown tone of the bronze leaves providing a beautiful contrast to the vibrant gold of the berries — another statement piece for your wall, or table.
Both delicate and statement-making, the Tanu Wreath is layered with mango wood beads on antique-brass colored wire. I love the organic design, and it's also available in a Brass and Natural option if you are after a more neutral coloring.
This Mango Wood Beaded Wreath is also available in a Brass and Ruby colorway and is woven from antique brass-finished iron wire to form this minimal yet textural delight of a metal Christmas wreath.
So cute. Made of individually handwoven balls, it's detailed, delicate, and the red velvet ribbon is a lovely touch for added contrast and texture. Style it on the wall or on your Christmas tree as an eye-catching piece.
I'm a big fan of this filigree leaf design and the muted tones of the antique brass — it's suitable for outdoor use (in a sheltered spot) on your front door, or use it as a statement Christmas decorating idea for your living room.
