Best Holiday Decor & Faux Greenery

Afloral’s high quality Norfolk garland above.

One things I’ve done over the years is put my holiday decor in two camps – faux and fresh. I’ve invested in really good faux garland for the stairs, the family room mantle and interior wreaths, as the shedding of dried garland in high traffic areas makes me crazy. We also have a faux tree in the family room where the kids and pup play and most ornaments are non breakable as well. We have a decent faux tree, but next year I plan to invest in a really good one for long term (Frontgate and Balsam Hill have the best ones…). In our formal living room I do real garland and a real tree – our ceilings are nearly 11 feet in that room and it allows Andrew to get his dream super tall tree.

As we head into December, I have rounded up some of the best faux greenery and other fun accents for the home for the holidays to help you narrow it down (nothing sadder than a really bad fake, in my opinion!). This year I’m going for a magical British countryside kind of look… :)

The start to our decor using Terrain’s pinecone garlands and bell garlands. More to come!
