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 colors bright. Here are common outdoor spots to spruce up with greenery:
Front Porch
Make a lasting impression with a charming wreath. When choosing a wreath for front doors, remember that it should only cover 50-75% of your door’s width. Complete the welcoming sight with matching garlands over the door frame or around porch railings and columns.
Outdoor Radiant Peony Foliage
Patio
Be ready to entertain guests at a moment’s notice with touches of greenery in your al fresco dining and lounging areas. Opt for pre-lit wreaths and garlands to set a magical scene at night.
Outdoor Boxwood Foliage
Exterior Windows
Christmas wreaths for windows can add interest and curb appeal. Place them in the center 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.

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 colors.
Mix in the Season’s Colors

Pair your faux greenery with accessories that echo seasonal colors. 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 color scheme for furnishings like pillowcases, blankets, and rugs.
Switch To Decorated Greenery
