Hanging & Garlands

Hanging faux plants and garlands put greenery where pots cannot go: above a cabinet, along a mantel, around a railing, over a doorway. Each piece is built on a flexible core, so it drapes and coils instead of sticking out stiffly like a wreath on a wall.

Four places these earn their price

• Above kitchen cabinets — a string of pearls trailing over the cabinet edge hides the gap between cabinet and ceiling
• Mantel or shelf — an English ivy pair at each end frames whatever sits in the middle
• Porch or pergola — an azalea basket on a hook, no watering in July
• Front door — a boxwood eucalyptus wreath that survives rain, unlike dried wreaths

Garland maths

For a mantel, measure the length and add 40%: garlands are draped, not stretched, and a straight run looks like tinsel. A 6 ft eucalyptus garland covers roughly a 4 ft mantel once looped, or a standard doorway when hung in a single swag. For a staircase railing, plan one garland per four feet of rail and zip-tie at the balusters rather than the handrail.

Indoor versus covered outdoor

Our hanging pieces are UV-treated and fine on a covered porch or in a sunroom. Direct rain is different: foliage holds up, but the pot liner and any ribbon or twine will not. If the piece faces open sky, bring it in for the worst of winter or choose from the outdoor collection, which is built for exposed positions.

Hanging without drilling

Renters: a ceiling hook rated for 5 lb covers most baskets, and a Command strip rated for 3 lb holds a light garland swag on painted drywall. For brick or render, an adhesive hook plus a cable clip at each end keeps the run straight without a single hole. Full styling ideas in our entryway ideas guide.

Frequently asked questions

Will a hanging plant look fake from below?

Trailing pieces are the most forgiving category, because the eye reads the cascade as a mass rather than individual leaves. String of pearls is the exception — check that the strands vary in length, which ours do.

Can garlands be cut?

Yes, at a leaf joint. The core is wire, so cut ends can be bent back into the arrangement or hidden behind a hook.

How do I clean a garland on a high shelf?

Compressed air from a step ladder, or a vacuum with a brush attachment on low. Do not pull — the wire core remembers the bend.
