A garland is a decorative arrangement made from natural or artificial materials—such as flowers, leaves, greenery, fabric, beads, or lights—designed to be draped, hung, or wrapped around interior and exterior spaces. In simple terms, garlands are versatile décor accents used to add texture, colour, and seasonal charm to homes.
Traditionally associated with celebrations and festive occasions, modern garlands are now widely used in Australian interiors for everyday styling. From mantelpieces and staircases to shelves and headboards, garlands offer an easy way to refresh a space without permanent changes.
Here’s why Australians love garlands: they instantly transform plain areas into visually engaging focal points, making homes feel warmer, more curated, and more welcoming.
Garlands are available in a wide range of materials and designs to suit different homes and lifestyles.
Made from real or faux flowers, these garlands bring softness and elegance. Artificial floral garlands are especially popular in Australia due to their durability and low maintenance.
Featuring eucalyptus, ivy, olive, or fern leaves, greenery garlands reflect Australia’s love of natural, relaxed interiors. They work beautifully in coastal, Hamptons, and modern farmhouse homes.
Incorporating LED fairy lights, these garlands add ambient lighting to bedrooms, balconies, and living spaces. They are ideal for creating cosy evening atmospheres.
Crafted from timber beads, cotton, felt, or tassels, these styles suit bohemian and Scandinavian interiors, adding tactile interest.
Designed for Christmas, Easter, weddings, and special events, these garlands often feature themed colours, ornaments, or motifs.
Using dried leaves, grasses, and flowers, these designs offer an earthy, sustainable aesthetic that fits minimalist and rustic spaces.
Choosing the right garland depends on your space, lifestyle, and styling goals. Here’s how to make the best decision.
Ask yourself where the garland will be placed—mantel, shelf, staircase, doorframe, or headboard. Larger areas need fuller designs, while smaller spaces suit delicate strands.
Coastal homes suit eucalyptus and soft greenery
Contemporary homes suit minimal bead garlands
Traditional homes suit floral and festive styles
Boho interiors suit tassel and fabric designs
Natural garlands offer authenticity but require care. Artificial garlands provide long-term value and are ideal for busy households.
Measure your space and select a garland that drapes naturally without appearing sparse or overcrowded.
Well-crafted garlands hold their shape, resist fading, and look realistic. Investing in quality ensures better longevity.
Garlands are more than decorative accessories—they offer practical and emotional benefits.
Garlands soften hard edges and introduce organic forms, making rooms feel balanced and inviting.
One space can be refreshed throughout the year by rotating garlands for different seasons and celebrations.
Compared to furniture or renovations, garlands provide an affordable way to update interiors.
Draped over mirrors, fireplaces, or shelving, garlands naturally draw the eye.
Light-up and greenery garlands promote calmness, comfort, and relaxation.
The main reason Australians love this is simple: garlands deliver high visual impact with minimal effort.

Garland styling continues to evolve alongside broader interior design trends.
Designs featuring gum leaves, banksia textures, and eucalyptus tones are rising in popularity, reflecting Australia’s natural environment.
Soft beiges, sage greens, clay tones, and warm whites dominate modern garlands.
Eco-conscious buyers are choosing recycled fabrics, dried botanicals, and biodegradable materials.
Instead of heavy arrangements, Australians are embracing subtle, layered garlands combined with ceramics and timber décor.
Garlands that double as table runners, wall hangings, or event décor are gaining traction.
Here’s why this matters: trend-aligned garlands help homes feel current without requiring full redesigns.
Professional styling makes all the difference when working with garlands.
Drape garlands loosely with slight asymmetry. Pair with candles, framed prints, and small sculptures.
Wrap greenery garlands along handrails for soft movement and visual flow.
Place light-up garlands behind headboards or across bed frames for subtle ambience.
Layer garlands over books and trays to add depth.
Use weather-resistant garlands on pergolas and railings to create resort-style vibes.
Pro tip: Always allow natural drooping rather than forcing straight lines—this creates a relaxed, designer finish.
