Pine Garland with Ornaments

Guest Bathroom Decorations

Use a beautiful plush garland to frame out a boring guest bathroom mirror. Add a beautiful bow in the top center and a few artificial poinsettia stems for a splash of color. Christmas hand towels and holiday scented hand soap are great bathroom accents that show guests that you left no room undecorated for the holidays.

To Define a Stocking Area

It may be tradition to hang your stockings from your fireplace but unfortunately not all of us have a mantle in our home. Create a beautiful stocking display are by hanging adhesive hooks on your wall. Define the space by draping garland around the space. Make the middle center the highest point and gently drape the garlands out from there. This would look beautiful over a sofa table, on a blank wall, or going at the base of a stairwell.

Garland Archways

Accentuate the architectural details of your house by running garlands along archways and wall niches. You can use removable adhesive hooks in a clear color to adhere the garlands to the molding s around doorways or to the walls themselves. When the season is over the hooks remove cleanly without leaving residue or holes in your wall.

Festive Filler

Fill baskets and vases with a combination of garlands and lights that are strewn together. Use battery-operated lights or run the cord for the lights out the back of an open weave basket to an outlet. This application would look great around a hearth or under an entry table.
