Don't fancy the classic Advent wreath with fir greenery and red candles? Then you've come to the right place.
This year, things are getting creative, modern and a little unconventional. I'll show you seven ideas on how you can rethink your Advent wreath - and still bring some real Christmas vibes into your living room.
1. real green was yesterday, now come green arrangements
This time, opt for green candle holders and candles instead of fir. Whether matt, glossy or textured - the look is fresh. Add a few simple decorative elements such as baubles or dried oranges and your Advent wreath is ready for the show.

2. vegetables instead of fir
Who says that only fir branches are festive? Why not try flower bulbs, moss or green vegetables? Brussels sprouts, artichokes and even kale leaves look great in an unusual bowl. Combined with a few discreet candles, the result is a natural arrangement that is guaranteed to get people talking.

3. minimal look with metal
Metal candle holders are ideal for anyone who likes a clean and modern look. Whether in gold, black or silver - they add a sophisticated touch to your Christmas decorations.

4. conspicuous growth towers to marvel at
Why bother with decorations when the candles themselves can be the star? Choose models with special shapes, colours or patterns

5. served up
Grab a nice bowl or tray, place four different candlesticks in it and fill the spaces in between with greenery, nuts or Christmas baubles. This not only looks casual, but also gives you the freedom to decorate anew every year.

6. keep it simple
Neither crazy nor classic - this year it can just be tea lights. Arrange them in pretty glasses, pretty bowls or directly on a tray. Add a little greenery and baubles for an atmospheric look.

7. rely on soloists
If four wax towers are too much for you, you can switch to calendar candles and frame them with fir branches or other Christmas decorations. The best way to do this is with plates, bowls or trays.
