Stunning Ways to Decorate Your Home with Christmas Garland

Nov 25th 2022

Christmas garland is a stretch of coordinated foliage, roughly around 9 feet in length, commonly embellished with pinecones, berries, baubles, and lights. Alternatively, it could be a strand of beads, a swag of shatterproof decorations, or a strip of glittering tinsel.

While garland may appear as a modest decor element, hanging, draping, or looping it around the house can produce a near-magical effect.

Typically, garland is seen framing front doors, wrapped around stair railings, or hung on fireplace mantels, but it can also bring charm to more unexpected spots.

Here are a few innovative and stunning methods to embellish your home with Christmas garland this year.

Christmas Table Runner

Instead of a typical centerpiece, lay artificial garland lengthwise down your dining table like a table runner. This allows each guest to enjoy a view of the holiday greenery. The style can be minimalistic, with an undecorated garland augmented by a few votive candles or lanterns, or more festive with a garland adorned with shiny ornaments, ribbons, and berries. Pre-lit garland or a strand of fairy lights can add a warm glow to your stunning Christmas table arrangement.

Cabinet Adornment

If you have a large empty gap between the tops of your kitchen cabinets and the ceiling, fill it with lush pre-lit garland accented with ornaments for added sparkle and allure. Adding small lanterns, gold deer, woodland creatures, Christmas village pieces, angel figurines, enchanting gnomes, or tabletop trees can create a holiday scene worthy of a home decor show.

Frame a Window

Why should the exterior of your house have all the fun with Christmas garland? Use garland around the top and sides of window frames in decorated rooms like the living room, family room, and dining room. You’ll be amazed at how much it enhances the festive atmosphere. Instead of a green garland, opt for one made of vibrant, shatterproof ornaments for some added holiday flair.

Adorn a Mirror

The same Christmas garland frame that livens up your interior windows can also add holiday cheer to mirrors in your bathroom, entryway, or above your fireplace mantel, with an additional benefit. The reflection makes your decorations look twice as delightful!

Chic Chandelier

Decking the halls – and light fixtures – with pine garland is a classic holiday look, but there are many other artificial garland choices available too. Beaded garland adds extra shimmer when draped from a chandelier or pendant light. Options include metallics in gold, silver, or a multitude of colors, as well as garlands featuring seasonal elements like snowflakes or Christmas bells.

Drape from Beams

Christmas garland is a beautiful and unexpected way to enhance prominent architectural features like ceiling beams. Remember to consider scale: a delicate style suits slim beams, while a lavish garland complements thicker beams. Drape garland along each beam, or hang it across multiple beams to create a festive look.

Though it may be simple, artificial Christmas garland is a highly versatile decoration. A little bit of garland can significantly complete your holiday decor.
