Christmas Garlands

Christmas garlands are one of the most versatile ways to decorate. They suit doors, stairs, fireplaces or balconies and add visual continuity as you move through the home. At Sklum there are garlands for Christmas in different lengths and volumes, some with an integrated Christmas garland with lights and others without lighting. The outdoor options are designed for the entrance, balcony or façade, and the indoor ones for the fireplace, shelves and stairs.

One of the most popular Christmas garlands is the door garland, a simple way to welcome guests, while on a staircase it creates a path that draws the eye upwards. On a fireplace, it sits along the mantelpiece and combines with candles and ornaments at different heights. To get it right, measure the available length beforehand and consider the thickness of the garland: fuller ones work in large spaces and slimmer ones on frames and banisters. If you place it outdoors, check that the finish is suitable for withstanding damp and wind.

Christmas garlands: the light that kindles the festive spirit

A garland is a linear element that links areas together. It can be hung, rested or wrapped, and in each case it changes how a space is perceived. Its advantage is that it takes up little room and adds a great deal.

Today's Christmas garlands offer a variety of volumes, textures and lengths. Some include lights, others are combined with decorative elements such as pine cones or berries. Choosing the right one depends on where it will go and on the overall composition you want.

Types of Christmas garlands

TypeKey featuresDesign and use ideas
Door garland Moderate length and restrained volume, with a fixing system for hanging. Entrances and hallways, to set the tone for the welcome.

Outdoor garland A finish designed to withstand damp and changes in temperature. Balconies, railings, pergolas and façades.
Paper or fabric garland Lightweight materials that hang from curtains, walls or windows. Informal corners, children's rooms and tables.

Advantages of decorating with garlands

  • Versatility: the same piece can move around depending on the season or the space.
  • Easy to fit: they go up with hooks or ribbons, with no building work or special tools.
  • Simple storage: being flexible, they can be stored rolled up or in flat boxes.

Tips for choosing and placing garlands

Measure the exact length and add a margin for the drop. If it will be outdoors, check that the material is suitable. On stairs, fix the garland with hooks that will not damage the banister and repeat the path at a regular rhythm. On the fireplace, let it hang slightly at the ends to soften the line. If you add lights, it helps to have a socket nearby or a model that runs on batteries or a rechargeable pack. Also check the fixing system and the weight of the whole: a full garland needs firm supports, while a light one can be held with discreet hooks. Keeping the same drop height on both sides gives the path a sense of order.

Frequently asked questions about Christmas garlands

  • How many garlands do I need for a staircase?

    It depends on the length of the banister. Measure the run and add 20% for the drop and the curves

  • Can indoor garlands be used outside?

    This is not recommended. Outdoor ones have a finish designed for damp and wind, and their use is stated in each product description

  • How do I fix a garland without damaging the wall?

    With removable adhesive hooks or specific tape. Check that they can bear the weight before hanging

  • Can I combine several garlands?

    Yes, as long as you keep the same finish tone or a shared palette so the composition looks coherent

  • How should I store a garland with lights?

    Gather the cable without tensioning it, roll the garland up gently and keep it in a rigid box so it does not get crushed
