Christmas
Christmas hallway decorations for a Victorian terrace
The hallway is the first thing anyone sees, and it takes less than a living room to dress: a garland up the banister, a wreath on the door, something lit on the hall table. What it needs is a garland long enough for the stairs and a way to fix it that will not mark the paint. This is the set, and what to check on each piece before you order.
The picks 2 of 10, in order
SHareconn 2.7m pre-lit garland
One garland long enough for a terrace staircase, with its own lights, so the banister is dressed in one go.
The full 2.7m up the banister in one piece, snow-tipped, with pine cones, red berries and 50 lights that switch to warm white. Battery powered, and the batteries are not in the box.
The one catchIt runs on AA batteries that are not in the box, and the listing cannot agree on how many: the bullets say four, the details table says three. Buy four and you are covered
Simply Products garland wire ties
The unglamorous piece that keeps the garland on the stairs: ten ties that vanish into the greenery.
Ten green wire ties that wrap garland and rail together and vanish into the foliage. The listing says nothing about paint, so wind the grass side against the banister.
The one catchThe listing says nothing about painted surfaces, so the brief's wish for ties that do not mark paint is not promised; wind the grass side against the rail and keep the wire ends off the paint
