A wreath is a symbol of the holidays, but this iteration, of metal olive branches, feels like home decor that can be enjoyed all year long.

A cluster of lanterns along your front steps will guide guests right to your door (just remember to light them at 4:30pm, when the sun sets!). Tucked in and around winter topiaries, they'll set the greens aglow and create a gorgeous vignette that feels seasonal (and not too festive). <a href="https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-9190882-13710638?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chapters.indigo.ca%2Fen-ca%2Fgifts%2Fproduct%2F037916451909-item.html&cjsku=3791645190" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Large Black Metal LED Lantern</a>, Indigo, $60.HolidaysThe Best Winter Wreaths and Outdoor Decor Ideas to Display All Season LongMetal LED Lanterns to Light the Way
