Where can you hang a Christmas garland?
Christmas garlands for stairs can be strung along a banister and winding staircase (see the image above for inspiration), while you can also buy garlands for fireplaces, creating a beautiful focal point on your mantel. Christmas garlands with lights (as a bundle or a light-up garland) are especially helpful for creating a magical, festive ambience across the home.
And if that wasn't inspiration enough, garlands can also be used on your classic Christmas tree, a twig Christmas tree (these are typically string or beaded garlands), as a table centrepiece, or even across windows, either pinned along the window frame or on the windowsill.
How long should a Christmas garland be?
Essentially, you can use a Christmas garland wherever you want, just ensure you get the appropriate length. For example, if you want to drape a garland around a staircase or wardrobe, you'll need a longer length, compared to a dining table or windowsill.
The same can be said for using a garland to add fullness to a Christmas tree. For LED garlands, you'll also want to double-check what batteries you require, or if it is mains powered, as this will affect where you can use it.
