There are a thousand different ways to decorate your home this Christmas, from fancy festive ornaments to talking santas. However, there seems to be less of a mention of the Christmas garland, and yet it can be so versatile, traditional and festive. Therefore, it might be worth experimenting with this decoration this year. You can make your own with natural foliage and flowers or even the festive mistletoe. You can also use faux foliage and decorations if you prefer.
1. Vertical garlands
Garlands can be hung vertically or adorned on door frames for that traditionally festive look. If you go for natural garlands, then this is the perfect place to catch the aroma every time you walk past.
2. On the mantelpiece
Christmas garlands are great for intertwining around other Christmas decorations on the mantelpiece. It really gives that luxuriously traditional Christmas look.
3. Pair with Christmas lights
Garlands and Christmas lights are a great pairing as you can also intertwine these to create a sparkly, cosy corner of the room.
4. Garland canopies
Garland canopies are great ways to create a centerpiece in a room. They can also make a blank wall or entryway look more festive and give a Santa’s grotto feel to your home.
5. On the banister
Christmas decorations on the stairs and along the banister are nothing new, and Christmas garlands are great for draping around the handrail.
Christmas garlands are just one type of decoration that can be utilised in many ways, and it doesn’t really matter how you create them because sometimes at Christmas, it’s all about going over the top!
