Dunelm is selling a ‘stunning’ garden item that shoppers say makes anyone passing by “admire” the front of their house. With the weather remaining cold and grey for most, many homeowners will be looking for ways to inject some colour and life into their front gardens.
Plenty of people will opt for hanging flower baskets, although real ones take more time and effort to maintain. A more sustainable option is to go for artificial alternatives, and Dunelm is one retailer that sells a wide variety.
The homeware store’s Artificial White Floral Brown Rattan Hanging Basket is on sale for £25 and comes with plenty of glowing reviews. Beyond just adding colour, many people say that hanging flower baskets adds a layer of curated ‘lived-in’ charm, helping a property feel ‘cared for’ and ‘welcoming’.
In the early days of spring, when gardens are often still a bit patchy and mud-streaked, a well-placed basket provides a concentrated burst of colour that draws the eye upward. This elevated placement is particularly effective for curb appeal; while low-lying flower beds can be hidden by parked cars or fences, hanging baskets sit at eye level, framing your front door or windows.
In the product description of the £25 Artificial White Floral Brown Rattan Hanging Basket, Dunelm says: “Opt for the chic Artificial White Floral Brown Rattan Hanging Basket for this Spring, where pure white blooms dance in a brown rattan cone for a timeless touch. Requiring no upkeep, it leaves you more time to savour the beauty.”

Besides Dunelm, other stores are selling hanging flower baskets ahead of the new season. The Range has an Azalea Hanging Basket with cascading flowers on offer for £39.99, with three colours to choose from. Elsewhere, Amazon is selling a similar ‘cone-shaped’ Pinto Hanging Basket for £13.99.
Dunelm’s £25 Artificial White Floral Brown Rattan Hanging Basket has an average customer rating of 4.7 stars out of five. In the reviews, one pleased shopper said: “Beautiful, I get a lot of people passing by and admiring them outside my front door.”
A second said: “Lovely bright white hanging basket, flowers look natural, brightens the garden up without having to water every night!” A third put: “These artificial flowers are so realistic looking. I have two and they look stunning hanging either-side of my front door.”

However, one customer claimed: “The actual basket is too small compared to the size of all the flowers. Basket is much smaller than shown in the picture.” Another wrote: “Flowers have lasted so far but very disappointed that the wires attaching the basket have all rusted after only a couple of months.”
But the majority of reviews were positive. Someone else said: “This is one of the best faux hanging baskets i have seen. Some are plastic and cheap looking but these look more lifelike.”
Another said: “Beautiful detail. Looks real very happy with quality. Have bought one before and still looks amazing. No flowers have dropped off. Great price.” One more said: “Very realistic, we get lots of compliments. I would definitely recommend this lovely hanging basket.”
