When it comes to holiday decorating, nothing feels quite as timeless as Norfolk pine. With its soft drape and realistic texture, faux Norfolk pine garland has become a favourite for creating that effortless, cozy holiday look — without the mess of falling needles.

Whether you’re decorating a staircase, mantle, or dining table, here are simple and stylish ways to use Norfolk garland in your home this season.

1. Draped Elegance on a Staircase

One of the most popular ways to use Norfolk pine garland is to drape it along a staircase railing. The long, soft greenery naturally cascades in a way that feels organic and high-end.

• Secure the garland with ribbon or twine at intervals to create gentle swags.

• For a festive touch, weave in string lights or velvet bows.

• If your staircase is long, choose a 15ft Faux Norfolk Garland for full coverage without awkward gaps.

The mantle is the heart of holiday decor, and Norfolk garland creates a lush, grounded base for layering.

• Place the garland across the mantle, letting the ends drape slightly over each side.

• Layer in candlesticks, stockings, or mini wreaths for a warm, inviting look.

• For smaller mantles, an 8ft Faux Norfolk Mixed Garland works perfectly.

4. Entryway Charm

Welcome guests with a statement piece by styling garland on a console table or around a mirror in your entryway. Norfolk’s soft greenery instantly makes the space feel warm and festive, setting the tone the moment you walk in.

5. Layering for a Full Look

Norfolk pine is beautiful on its own, but it also layers seamlessly with other greenery. Pair it with eucalyptus, mixed pine, or berry stems to add depth and variety.
