Swag garlands are a timeless festive decoration shaped with gently tapered ends, designed to hang in a graceful U-like curve. Unlike a traditional garland that runs straight along a surface, a swag garland adds a soft drape that feels curated and indulgent - perfect for creating a distinctive look with minimal effort. These chic decorations are especially popular across Australia for their versatility, whether you're dressing a home for the holidays, styling a retail display, adding festive charm to a sports club or bar, or bringing a sense of warmth and celebration to a shopping centre.
Our non-decorated swag garlands are made from quality artificial evergreen tips, including faux fir, pine or spruce. Some feature lush foliage, while others offer a modern take with glitter and matte baubles. Their realistic texture offers all the festive joy of fresh greenery - without the upkeep, mess, or short lifespan. A swag with more tips creates a fuller, more sensational effect, giving your display a lush, luxurious finish. Designed for indoor or undercover outdoor use, they're built to last for years, making them a smart and sustainable purchase.
Measuring either 2.1 metres or 3 metres long, swag garlands are best displayed on stair railings, over mantels, across the upper inside of archways, along windows, or even outside under cover - draped on porch railings, fencing, gates, or rooflines. The curved shape lends itself naturally to entrances and areas where you want a welcoming, sweeping effect. When planning your display, always measure your space first - allow for the swag's curve and decide if you want it to hang loose or sit snugly against the surface. For longer areas, multiple swags can be installed end-to-end for a fuller, layered look.
Installation is simple with the right accessories. Use removable adhesive hooks, garland ties, cable ties or over-door hooks to hang your swag without damaging walls or surfaces. For retail or commercial settings, temporary display clips work well on shelving or rails. Once installed, the real joy begins - decorating it yourself. Think of it as a blank canvas: add your own mix of wired ribbon, fairy lights, floral picks, berry stems, or themed ornaments. For a curated and cohesive display, match your swag garland with a wreath or a full-length garland in similar tones or materials.
Popular colour schemes include classic red and gold, snowy whites and silvers, bushland-inspired greens and naturals, or even metallic blues and champagnes for a more exclusive touch. Decorating for Christmas in July? A simple touch of eucalyptus, soft lights, and native flowers can create an intriguing twist for an Aussie mid-year celebration.
When the season ends, remove your decorations gently and store the swag in a dry, cool place - ideally in a storage bag, but one isn't available, then wrapped in a cloth or placed in a large container to protect its shape. With proper care, your artificial swag garland becomes a reusable, timeless piece of your festive collection.
