Christmas decorating starts with the pieces you enjoy bringing out each year. At Grandad’s Shed, that might be a cheeky monkey, a sculptural tree or a bauble large enough to become the centre of the display.

Start with one focal point

Choose a shelf, console or corner before choosing the decorations. A larger piece needs room around it; smaller ornaments work well in a group. Check the dimensions on each product page and measure your space, including the height available beneath shelves.

Add a little humour

The Drunken Monkey Christmas Ornament wears a Santa hat and brings a playful detail to a festive display. For a present with a practical twist, take a look at the Monkey Wine Bottle Holder – Christmas Edition. Check the product photographs and measurements before choosing where it will sit.

Keep the display balanced

Repeat two or three colours across your display and vary the heights. Give a statement decoration clear space so its shape is easy to see. Keep walkways clear and make sure larger pieces sit on a stable surface. Only use decorations outdoors where their product details specifically confirm outdoor suitability.

Choose a gift around the person

A good gift can be a small piece that reflects someone’s humour or interests. An animal ornament can suit a collector; a wine-themed piece can suit someone who enjoys entertaining. Use the photographs to check the finish rather than relying on the product name alone.
