30 Christmas Swags Ideas

Christmas swags are a great way to decorate your home for the holidays.

Whether you buy or DIY, they add a festive touch to your doors, windows, and mantels.

A swag is a garland of evergreen that is usually shaped in a wider arc at the top than at the bottom.

It’s a great alternative to a wreath because it’s just as easy to hang and looks just as pretty, too.

You can make them as simple or as elaborate as you like, and they can be used just about anywhere.

Here are 30 Christmas swags to inspire you. Read on and pick your favorite!

1. A swag for the front door

No need to stick to a traditional Christmas wreath for your front door.

A swag like this one has all the same elements—a base of greenery, pinecones, and a big, festive bow—but with a twist.

It’s a great way to add a little more texture to your holiday decor, and it’s just as easy to make as a wreath.

Just gather your greenery, and secure it to a long, thin piece of wood or a wire hanger. Then, add your pinecones, berries, and bow last. Voilà!

2. Hang swags on the windows

Swags aren’t just for the front door.

Hang a few on the windows, too. We love how the swags in this room echo the greenery in the wreath on the front door.

3. A swag for the fireplace

If you have a mantel, then you have the perfect spot for a Christmas swag.

This garland is a little longer than most swags and has a lot of texture with the variety of greenery and pinecones.

You can also add in Christmas ornaments, faux fruit, and other decorations to make it your own.

4. Hang swags on the stairs

If you have a staircase in your home, you can decorate it with Christmas swags.

Hang a swag on the banister at the top of the stairs and then weave a matching garland in and out of the banister as you make your way down.

This look is easy to achieve and it’s a great way to make a statement in your front entryway.

5. Hang swags on the walls

If you don’t have a lot of space on your front door to hang a swag, consider hanging it on the wall next to your door.

This is also a great idea if you have a double door entryway and want to add a little bit of decoration to both doors without overdoing it.

6. Swags for the kitchen

If you’re not wanting to add a lot of decor to your kitchen, a swag is a great way to add some color and festivity to the room.

You can add a swag to the window or to a cabinet like this. You can even add a swag to a range hood or other type of shelf in your kitchen.

7. Christmas swag for a table

If you’re looking for a simple way to dress up a table for the holidays, a swag might be the perfect option.

This beautiful swag has a variety of faux greenery and is accented with pinecones, berries, and a festive bow.

The greenery is strung along a wired twig that can be easily molded to fit the table.

You can even add some LED lights to the swag to add a warm glow to your holiday table.

8. A swag for the bedroom

If you’re looking to add a little Christmas magic to your bedroom, then a swag is the perfect way to do it.

Hang a swag over your bed or on the wall above your headboard to create a festive focal point in the room.

You can use the same types of greenery and decorations that you would for a living room swag, or you can go for a more elegant look with white flocked greenery and gold or silver decorations.

9. A swag for the bathroom

Who says that you can’t decorate your bathroom for Christmas? A swag like this one is perfect for hanging on the bathroom door or on a wall.

There are so many different textures and colors in this swag, and the little bird adds a fun touch.

You could even hang a swag like this on your kitchen cabinets or on your mantel.

10. A swag for the garden

If you know someone who loves to spend time in their garden, then this swag is the perfect gift. It’s made up of artificial foliage so it will last for years to come, and there’s even a personalized garden tool included.

You can also choose to add a matching garden flag to the gift, which will feature the same monogram.

Conclusion

Swags are a beautiful way to decorate your home for the holidays. They are so easy to make and you can make them in a variety of styles. I hope you enjoyed this post and got some inspiration from it.
