Best wooden Christmas decorations for 2022
Wooden Star Fairy Light Garland
Lights4Fun is always worth a look when you're in the market for some snazzy Christmas lighting. Ideal for festivities, this charmingly rustic wooden star garland features warm fairy lights for an inviting glow. Hang across a mantelpiece, or wind around a banister to help create a cosy feel - perfect for a relaxed, snug room filled with bean bags and throws.
You could also pop this wooden Christmas decoration in a bowl (as displayed) and place on a coffee table, or dinner table, as a sweet table centrepiece.
Requires three AA batteries.
Chana Mango Wood Decorations - Stars
- Buy now from Nkuku (£15.00)
These handsome wooden stars from chic homeware brand Nkuku are just the thing if you prefer your festive accents stylish and subtle - in fact, you could easily display them all year round. Plus, they're handmade from sustainably-sourced high quality mango wood, so they should be brightening up your decor for years to come.
Personalised Wooden Christmas Bauble
Personalised Christmas baubles are a wonderful way to include the whole family in Christmas decorating, and we love this geometric design. Each bauble is made of laser-cut plywood and personalised with the name of your choice in elegant gold brush lettering.
As well as adding the name of your loved one, you add an extra layer of personalisation by choosing their favourite colour for the card backing, available in 12 shades.
Outdoor wood-look Christmas light-up star
- Buy now from Wayfair (£92.99)
Ok, this one is cheating just a tiny bit - this showstopping light-up Christmas star is actually made of polystone, but we think the hand-carved wood effect makes for a convincing rustic finish. It comes pre-lit with 21 warm white LED bulbs powered by two AA batteries (not included), and includes an automatic six-hour timer to conserve battery life outside of evening showtime. We think it would look superb styled in a porch or hallway as a striking festive welcome!

Wooden bead decoration
If loud tinsel and glittery tree decorations are not up your street, this Ginger Ray wooden bead decoration is a gorgeous alternative that would look lovely draped across a Christmas tree, or nestled amongst festive foliage or garland. At three metres along, this wooden bead decoration would work well for a mantelpiece too, or why not invest in a couple of sets and create an effective layered look?
And as a welcomed bonus, thanks to the wooden design, you won't have to clear up pesky bits of glitter and tinsel when you're clearing away your decorations!
Gingerbread man wooden bunting
Mmm, we can almost smell the gingerbread in the air looking at this fab bunting! These smiling gingerbread men are joined together with jaunty candy cane-coloured twine, ready to go on display. You can arrange them around your tree, but we think they'd look especially great suspended from a mantelpiece or windowsill. One set includes eight figures.
Wooden Christmas baubles
- Buy now from Wayfair (£35.99)
These charming lightweight wooden baubles feature a cut-out depicting an atmospheric Christmas scene of reindeers and snowy fir trees, with an eye-catching touch of glitter to boot. Sold as a set of eight, they come in two tones of wood finish and include strings for hanging.
