Celebrate in Style – Design Ideas for Eye-Catching Artificial Christmas Wreaths and Garlands
The Benefits of Artificial Wreaths and Garlands
The holiday season is all about gathering together to celebrate and show love for one another, and what better way to do that than with a stunning artificial Christmas wreath or garland? A handmade wreath or garland has the power to be the centerpiece of your home décor as it adds festive cheer and beautiful light. Whether you’re looking for something rustic, whimsical, traditional, or modern, there is truly something out there for everyone.
When shopping for artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands, one of the first things to consider is size. If you plan on displaying your wreath or garland indoors or in a small area like a hallway or over a fireplace mantel, then opt for smaller sizes like 18-24 inches. However, if you are aiming to make a larger statement outdoors then choose larger sizes such as 30-36 inches. Additionally, be sure to measure your space ahead of time so that you know exactly how many feet of garland you need before making your purchase.
Incorporating Unique Materials and Colors into Your Design
As far as material goes, artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands come in several types such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), metal wire frames with fabric mesh covers, plastic needles mixed with real pine cones and decorations, foam shapes mixed with fabric mesh covers and flocking material. PVC offers a lightweight option that is perfect for smaller areas since it won’t weigh down walls or doors. The metal wire frames are sturdier than PVC but can also be quite heavy depending on how much decoration is added. Plastic needles offer a more realistic look but are not as durable against outdoor elements like wind and rain as some of the other materials. Foam shapes have become increasingly popular due to their versatility – they can be used both indoors and outdoors while offering an easy way to add dimension by mixing different shapes together. Lastly, flocking material has become increasingly popular due to its soft texture which makes it look very similar to snow covered trees in winter wonderlands!
In terms of style options when choosing an artificial Christmas wreath or garland there are countless possibilities! Wreaths can be decorated with ribbons and bows in various colors such as golds, silvers, reds and greens – which will bring out the spirit of the season perfectly! If you’re looking to add extra sparkle then opt for glittery ribbons or even sparkling crystals which will glisten in any lighting setting – adding plenty of twinkling charm! Garlands can also be dressed up with dainty little bells that jingle when touched; pom-poms; brightly colored feathers; poinsettias; stars; holly leaves; pinecones; frosted snowflakes – just about anything that you could think of!
Tips for Properly Maintaining and Storing Your Decorations.
Another great idea when it comes to decorating your artificial Christmas wreath or garland is lighting! LEDs are becoming increasingly popular due to their long life span (they last up to 50 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs) while also being energy efficient (they use 90% less energy compared to incandescents). Not only do LEDs save money but they also come in a variety of colors such as warm white which creates an inviting atmosphere while cool white gives off more vibrant tones that serve well as accents against darker surfaces like doorways. Furthermore LED light strings now also come battery powered so no need for cords trailing around your living space either – talk about convenience!
When all is said and done making an artificial Christmas wreath or garland doesn’t have to be expensive either – just get creative! Gather decorations from old cards, wrapping paper scraps left over from last year’s presents; natural materials from the garden such as holly leaves; pine cones sprayed lightly with silver paint or glitter spray – whatever inspires you really! Follow these tips above along with some creativity and imagination and voila – create your own eye catching masterpiece this holiday season that will bring joy into your home every time someone enters the room.
