    Where To Hang Wreaths and Garlands at Home

    Updated last June 8, 2025

    Hanging artificial greenery is an effortless way to spruce up your home. They bring cheer to any space and are easy to update as the seasons change. Read this guide to learn where to hang wreaths and garlands indoors and outdoors, as well as wreath decoration ideas to help refresh your display throughout the year.

    Best Places To Hang Wreaths and Garlands Outdoors

    Outdoor decorations set the tone for your entire home. Create a warm and inviting look with wreaths and garlands in your al fresco areas. Before you start, make sure the foliage pieces are designed for outdoor use. Balsam Hill’s outdoor-safe wreaths and garlands come with UV protection to help prevent fading and keep colours bright. Here are common outdoor spots to spruce up with greenery:

    Front Porch

    Create a lasting impression with a charming wreath. When selecting a wreath for front doors, ensure it covers only 50-75% of your door’s width. Enhance the welcoming sight with matching garlands over the door frame or around porch railings and columns.

    Christmas wreaths for windows can add interest and curb appeal. Place them in the centre of each window and leave at least 6 inches of space on both sides. For a dramatic effect, pick a wreath that covers the entire width of the frame.

    Insider’s Tip

    Keep your artificial foliage in great condition by limiting outdoor display to up to 3 months per year. Read our guide for more tips on how to care for faux greenery.

    Where To Hang Wreaths and Garlands Indoors

    Extend the welcoming ambience from the outdoors to the rest of your living spaces. Artificial foliage is perfect for indoor locations since you won’t need to clean up fallen needles, unlike their real counterparts. Balsam Hill also offers battery-operated pre-lit greenery with a built-in timer for added convenience. Consider these areas when choosing where to hang wreaths and garlands indoors:

    The mantel is a popular spot for hanging indoor wreaths and garlands. It creates a point of interest that can be seen from any corner of the room. If you don’t have a fireplace, consider window wreaths or hanging one up behind the sofa.

    Welcome bright mornings with the refreshing view of spring blooms and evergreens. A wreath will make the perfect accent for the space above the kitchen sink or on the range hood all year round. Simply swap out for more fitting foliage as you transition from season to season.

    Insider’s Tip

    Hang wreaths safely and securely with the right materials. Strong adhesive hooks and floral wire are common choices. For fuss-free hanging, consider an adjustable metal wreath hanger.

    Easy Seasonal Home Decorating Ideas To Try

    Artificial wreaths and garlands never wilt or dry out, making them ideal for year-round decorating. With a few tweaks, these versatile pieces can work in any season and blend well with most themes. Savour your greenery throughout the year by following these tips on how to transition your seasonal home décor:

    Start With Simple Evergreens

    For a setup that’s always in season, put up undecorated garlands and wreaths all year round. Their classic green branches are eye-catching whether displayed alone or with accents. To highlight their timeless elegance, string lights around your greenery or choose a pre-lit variant.

    Add Seasonal Accents

    With undecorated greenery as the base of your DIY wreath, add fruits, flowers, and other accents to refresh your home every season. Welcome spring and summer with delicate blooms then switch to fiery leaves, pumpkins, and other harvest-themed pieces during autumn. In the winter, use ornaments and trimmings to spread Christmas cheer. Many DIY Christmas wreath ideas also include tying on ribbons in festive colours.

    Mix in the Season’s Colours

    Pair your faux greenery with accessories that echo seasonal colours. For spring, freshen up your foliage with pastel-hued ribbons or baubles. Then, move toward brighter tones as summer rolls in. To recreate autumn’s beauty, choose accents in orange, golden yellow, or warm earth tones. Ring in Christmas with red, green, and gold, or replicate the coolness of winter with shades of white and icy blue. To pull your décor together, use the same nature-inspired colour scheme for furnishings like pillowcases, blankets, and rugs.

    Switch To Decorated Greenery

Balsam Hill’s pre-decorated artificial greenery features a wide array of accents like berries, pinecones, and metallic baubles to suit different themes.
