Garland is a relatively simple and in most cases a budget way to change the look of your home. Yes, often one garland is enough to make the atmosphere in the house festive and dynamic. But such a product needs to be thought out (buy, made, give the author's idea to order to the masters), and also hang it as competently as possible. So that the functionality of the decor becomes one hundred percent.

Mounting options

The most common garland is New Year's. Lights always create holiday magic in the house. But for the magic to happen, it (more precisely, what it will become) must still be securely fixed.

You can attach a garland in different ways.

  • Scotch. The most budgetary, simple, fastest, literal way that lies on the surface. But he is far from being reliable. And if the adhesive tape has already been on the wallpaper, then after tearing off, not only the transparent adhesive film, but also part of the wallpaper can fall behind. And from the window, the scotch tape too, alas, often comes off. Finally, the aesthetics of this mount are also lame. But if there is no other option for some reason, you can glue it with adhesive tape, only correctly. It is necessary to sculpt it not with strips that will block the garland, but as follows: one end of the tape is wrapped around the wire, and the other end must be glued so that there is little sticky space left.

This prevents the garlands from slipping between the glass and the lower adhesive strip.

  • Cable pads. They are also called self-adhesive mounting pads. They are more reliable than scotch tape, but they leave sticky marks. These marks are especially noticeable on glass.

They can be removed without a blade or scraper, but only with a special tool (sold in building markets).It is similar to alcohol or acetone, but is milder.

  • Hot melt glue or glue gun. The fastening is reliable, but such a fastener is extremely difficult to remove. The adhesive composition will literally have to be scraped off with a knife.
  • Silicone suction cups with hook. An affordable and simple option that is cheap, comes in different shapes and sizes. True, such a suction cup will only stick to a perfectly flat surface: glass, tiles in the bathroom, in the kitchen. The rest of the surfaces do not give such a guarantee of adhesion.
  • Special hooks for garlands. The best option, which many did not even suspect. But this is the most convenient, well-thought-out design. And you can not only attach garlands to it, but also heavier things. In some ways, it resembles double-sided tape, but it will be much easier to remove. The mount includes a hook itself and removable sticky cartridges. If in doubt, you can experiment on a glass goblet.
  • Universal wall fasteners. Withstands a picture in a heavy frame, and towels in the bathroom. After sticking it on the wall, you need not fix anything for an hour, let it fix securely.

Obviously, at least one of these methods should work.

Design ideas

Beautifully hanging a garland on a window means maintaining symmetry, deducing proportions, making the curtain so that it harmonizes the surrounding space. There are some interesting design ideas.

Curtain of lights

This is the most popular type of garland, which can be of different designs: from a simple straight line to a garland-mesh for the whole window. Garlands-curtains are the hardest to hang. You can fix them on a curtain or curtain rod so that they do not interfere with opening windows. Another good way to attach Christmas lights is to use paper clips. For fixing, the paper clip must be unbent, hooked onto the curtain hook. Cable ties also help out: they help secure the garland directly to the eaves.

A luminous curtain is made for a whole wall or part of it. If there are no lights hanging down in threads, you can simply buy a long garland: it is arranged in a zigzag manner, and then fixed.

And to make the illumination look even better, the luminous surface is covered with a translucent tulle. This is necessary to gently diffuse light and create a magic effect.

In the form of a tree

A herringbone garland is also suitable for decorating a house for the New Year. It must be fixed on the window in zigzags so that the tiers expand at the bottom. It makes sense to think over the proportions ahead of time. The easiest way is to work with an assistant who will evaluate each step.

Also, a beautiful garland in the form of a Christmas tree can be placed on the window, decorated with bright tinsel.

Words and numbers

Words from lights are also a fairly common idea for decorating a New Year's house, and such products can be made with your own hands. Garlands for a similar effect are selected only those in which the bulbs are often located. It is necessary to determine the word or phrase, as well as the wall where the decoration is to be hung. You can also choose a font by looking at the options on the Internet. The size of the letters must be thought out.

It is important that the inscription or numbers are legible. Probably, you will have to fix it with scotch tape.

Other options

With the help of a garland of lights, you can lay out different patterns: from ornaments to waves and geometric shapes. But such scenarios are less in demand than the more familiar, laconic design. We are talking about framing the doorway: it seems like a common solution, but it looks extremely good. It will not be possible to carry out our plans only with a short garland: in order to arrange an opening, a garland of 5-10 meters is required.

It is best to use hooks-holders, which must be hung step by step around the perimeter of the door.

Many people succeed in combining a luminous garland and photographs on a thread, string. This is especially appropriate for the New Year: on one of the walls you can collect pictures of the main events of the year, which will be highlighted with lights.By the same principle, you can decorate the wall for a birthday.

Beautiful examples

How exactly to decorate the interior with a garland, the following examples will tell you.

  • If the room has such an accent picture, then it would be logical to frame it with light balls. It is both more comfortable and festive, and does not require any complicated manipulations.
  • A photo plus lights above the bed is a wonderful option that is relevant not only for the New Year. On summer evenings it will be a cozy corner that creates a special atmosphere in the house.
  • Lights in the form of a tree are very beautiful, magical. Such a decoration will look especially great in a children's room.

In exactly the same way, you can decorate the branches, which are often the decor of the house.

  • Backlit bookshelves are always a good move. Especially in such free hanging, without creating any shapes and drawings. Larger bulbs will look better.
  • Sometimes a garland is not worth hanging at all: a vase or something that can become its analog will help out. On a dresser, console, coffee table or shelf, such a composition will look gentle and accentuated.
  • The wall became the backdrop for the curtain garland. You can leave this decor all winter long. It will provide cozy warm evenings, create an atmosphere of security and tenderness. It is even psychologically pleasant to be in such a room.
  • If there is a similar table in the house, and such a suspension is located above it, it must be used. By mixing Christmas tree decorations with the simplest garland, you can create a cute New Year's composition.

In this case, the garland is dark, and this perfectly resonates with the decorative details of the room.

  • In a narrow corridor, a garland can create such a pleasant glow. At the same time, the complex hanging system is not visible: the product is fixed in any convenient way. It is the finishing touch to the decor, which puts an end to the decoration of the space, without allowing overload.
  • Another example of a combination of a photo and lights above the bed. A similar picture can appear not only over the headboard. But it still looks cozy, neat, beautiful.
  • One of the warmest and visually pleasing ways to decorate a room with garlands is such a ceiling mount. Arcs of lights in rather large light bulbs quickly transform the space.

And this is not necessarily required only at home: this is how you can decorate studios and even offices, rooms where children are engaged (various circles). You can decorate a covered veranda in the same way.

  • A simple way to frame your front door. Nothing superfluous, it feels like everything is done in 2 minutes, walking, but at the same time cute and cozy. This decoration is not tied to the New Year, it is always appropriate.
  • And here are the Christmas trees from garlands, popular and easy to create. In the first case, branches are used that form the tree itself. And on such branches it costs nothing to fix the garland. In the second case, the tree is even painted on the wall (it can be a vinyl sticker), and the garland is complemented by beads and Christmas tree decorations. This is where special hooks come in handy.

And the luminous thread can be laid under the bed, and this space will be discreetly highlighted. She can also walk along the top of the kitchen unit, along the cornice above the window and can even become the edging of the ceiling plinth.
