IS THERE A RECOMMENDED SIZE FOR A GREENERY?
When decorating with artificial plants, size is just as crucial as appearance. Some useful sizing charts are shown below. Keep in mind that these are the final dimensions following any necessary shaping and fluffing.
Wreaths are decorative items that are commonly hung on doorways, but they can also be exhibited on walls or even the mantel. Balsam Hill offers artificial wreaths with diameters between 18 and 32 inches.
INCHES: 18 TO 22
Optimal width, 30 to 34 inches, for most conventional front doors. It’s possible to use two wreaths of this size on double doors. INCHES, 24 TO 26
For a door that is a little bit larger than average or a larger entryway.
Measurements Between 28 and 32 Inches
For extra-large entrances, go with this. This works particularly well on high-ceilinged walls or above expansive fireplace mantels, where the area is more open.
GARLAND
Garlands can be hung anywhere from doorways to banisters to mantles. Most artificial garlands from Balsam Hill may be connected to create a larger garland, and their lengths range from 6 to 10 feet.
Height: Between 1.5 And 2 Meters
For use on average-sized doors or mantles. Combine several to make a longer garland. Nine to ten feet
Works well with double doors and broader arches. If you want the garlands to congregate at the base, use this.
Wreath and garland sizing guidelines
FOR WORTHS OF VERDANTNESS:
Take accurate dimensions of the displaying area, including the height and width. A wreath shouldn’t be more than half as big or as tall as the surface it’s hung from.
For a basic look, leave about 6 inches on either side of the wreath on a door that is 30 to 36 inches wide.
• Go for a larger wreath if you want to make a statement, but be sure to allow at least 2 inches of empty space on all sides.
