THERE’S NOTHING LIKE GARLANDS DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND HEIDI’S HOME SHOWCASES JUST HOW MAGICAL THEY CAN BE. HERE IS HOW SHE ATTACHES HER GARLANDS TO HER BANISTER— AND HOW YOU CAN TOO! • Banister Beautified. Swag the garland over the banister in loops. “I use clear command hooks and wire to attach the garland to the banister,” Heidi says. • Always Evergreen. Then, she adds in shorter sprigs of dark evergreen. She says, “weaving these shorter sprigs in gives a lot of texture to the garland.” • Merry Berry. Heidi wires berry sprigs into each loop of the garland, giving a cheery dash of red. • Cutting of the Ribbon. “To finish off the look, I use a variety of fabric ribbon at the base of the staircase,” Heidi says. It cascades toward the tile. • Take a Step Back. Heidi always recommends looking at the project as a whole and adjusting and repositioning as needed. Little tweaks are usually needed to get it just right. GGET THE GREEN ABOVE • Mantle Magic. A mix of stockings and a swag of greenery turn Heidi’s mantel into a masterpiece.The plaid and check pattern stockings are a natural extension of herself.“Between the clothing I wear and the tile and pillows I have in my home, these seem to be my go-to patterns,” she says.“When I saw these stockings, I knew I needed to pair them together. I love how the patterns play off each other.” 68 HOLIDAYdécor | 2022
