Christmas garlands are among the most versatile of all Christmas greenery, and can be used in so many ways in and around your home.
Let’s take a closer look at 5 ways Christmas garlands can be used inside your home, as well as how to make them really pop with some supporting Christmas decorations.
Over the Mantel
One of the most effective ways to use Christmas garlands is simply by placing them on the mantel. Center the garland over the mantel so that it overhangs both ends equally, then if you have room above it, hang a wreath to balance it.
On Staircase Railings
Anywhere you have an undecorated railing, you have a blank slate to add some Christmas cheer with a garland. You can either wrap the garland around the railing or create a swag effect.
Over Windows
Christmas garland is one of the easiest ways to add festive charm to your windows. Whether you choose a pre-lit garland for a warm holiday glow or a classic unlit style, framing your windows instantly makes your home feel more magical. For a simpler look, skip outlining the entire window and instead drape a garland across the top of the window frame, allowing it to cascade naturally down the sides for an effortlessly elegant finish.
Over Entryways
Anywhere you have an interior entryway, such as a doorway to an interior room, that’s a great space to hang a garland. Just trace the top of the entryway’s frame, then decorate the garland.
Spiraled Up Balusters and Columns
You can also make interior architectural features like balusters and columns a focal point of decoration by spiraling garlands up them vertically.
Supporting Christmas Decorations
Christmas garlands, like other greenery, are beautiful on their own, but they look so much more intriguing when embellished with some of the following decorative accents.
Lights
If you don’t have a prelit Christmas garland, lights are a great way to add color and brightness to the arrangement. For garlands, 5mm mini lights or twinkle cluster lights are a great option.
Christmas Ribbon
Any garland can be given a little extra color, character and texture with some Christmas ribbon that aligns with the rest of your decorations. For extra flair, use two to three different types of ribbon.
Picks and Sprays
Use Christmas picks and sprays from the same collection as the rest of your décor to add fullness and dimension to your garland. Tucking them into sparse areas not only creates a richer, more luxurious look but also helps tie your entire holiday design together.
Christmas Florals
Christmas florals are great supporting accents to picks and sprays and can add color and movement to any garland.
Ornaments
Lastly, don’t think ornaments are just for the tree! Choose a few different types, styles and sizes of Christmas ornaments and nestle them in your garland. If you have young children or curious pets, shatterproof ornaments are an excellent choice. Today’s premium shatterproof ornaments offer the same beautiful look as glass, making it easy to enjoy the elegance of traditional décor without the worry of accidental breakage.
