Christmas garland hung beautifully on stairs, banisters, mantels, or door frames. Secured properly without damage, with perfect swag and spacing.
### The Festive Touch That Makes a Difference
A well-hung garland **transforms a staircase or fireplace** from everyday to properly festive. But here's the thing: doing it right takes time, the right clips, and knowing how much swag looks good versus how much looks sad.
Get it wrong and your garland is either pulling fixings out of the wall or dragging on the stairs looking depressed.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Fresh or good-quality artificial garland can be heavy. Proper fixings make all the difference between "looks amazing through Christmas" and "fell down on Boxing Day".

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Fresh garland?** Real garland looks and smells amazing but it's heavy and sheds. Make sure you want to commit to the maintenance before I install it. Artificial holds up better over December. **Multiple locations?** Stairs and mantelpiece together? Front door and internal door frame? Do them all in one visit - more efficient and saves you money. **Lights wanted?** Battery fairy lights are quick to add and look magical. Mains-powered takes longer to run safely but gives better brightness. Let me know when booking.
Frequently Asked Questions about Christmas garland hanging in Teignmouth
Where can you hang garland?
Anywhere you want! Staircases and banisters are most popular, but I also do mantlepieces, door frames, archways, beams, and picture rails. If there's a structure, we can hang garland from it without wrecking it.
Will it damage my banister or stairs?
Nope - I use proper clips and ties that grip without marking. No nails, no screws, no damage to your woodwork. Everything comes off cleanly in January without a trace. Safe for period properties and modern houses alike.
Can you add lights to the garland?
Yes - battery-powered fairy lights work brilliantly woven through garland. Looks stunning in the evening. If you want mains-powered lights, that takes a bit longer to do safely but it's definitely doable.
How do you stop it sagging?
Proper spacing of fixings and the right tension. Garland needs to swag gently between fixing points, not droop like it's given up. I've done enough of these to know exactly how it should look.
How long does a staircase take?
Average straight staircase - about 45 minutes. Staircases that turn or have awkward corners take a bit longer. I'll give you a better estimate once I see your stairs.
