Deck the Halls: Styling Holiday Garlands

I can’t believe the holidays are right around the corner again! Luckily, adding some festive flair to my home may be my absolute favorite activity. Garlands are the easiest and prettiest way to embrace winter greenery. From the fireplace mantle to unexpected nooks, let’s explore the best spots to add holiday garland and some creative ways to make them truly shine.

WHERE TO ADD HOLIDAY GARLAND

The Fireplace Mantle: A Classic

Let’s kick things off with the heart of coziness – the fireplace mantle. This is the quintessential spot for garland, and for a good reason. You can drape a larger garland across the entire mantle or simply drape it down one side.

The Front Porch: A Welcoming Touch

Framing the front door is the classic way to style front porch garland. If you have pillars, wrapping the holiday garland around them will be stunning.

The Staircase: Stairway to Holiday Bliss

The staircase is a prime spot to showcase your holiday garland. I love to wind garland around the railing, creating a beautiful focal point for your home entrance. The key here is to maintain a consistent flow with evenly spaced twists and dips.

The Table Centerpiece: A Festive Dinner

Finally, let’s talk about a spot often overlooked – the table centerpiece. For a holiday dinner, a garland can take your table setting to a whole new level. Lay it down the center of the table, add some candles and ornaments, and voilà – you’ve got a stunning focal point that’ll have your guests talking all night.

If you have a buffet or media table in your dining room, you can drape a garland across it.

Unexpected Areas: Garlands with a Twist

Now, let’s think outside the garland box! Don’t limit yourself to the obvious spots; garlands can go anywhere. One of my favorite unconventional spots is open shelving. Adding garland here can transform your everyday décor into a winter wonderland. It’s a small surprise that packs a big punch.

HOLIDAY GARLAND ADDITIONS

Consider adding a few special touches to make your holiday garland stand out. Large velvet ribbon adds a luxurious touch and provides an anchor for your decorations. Dried fruit, like orange slices, add a charming pop of color And those ornamental bells? They’re the cherry on top and truly my favorite addition to garlands.
