Frequently asked questions
How do I garland a staircase for Halloween?
Use a faux-eucalyptus or magnolia garland at least 1.5 times the length of the railing so it drapes naturally. Secure it to the underside of the railing with floral wire every 18 inches. Weave in dried orange slices and small pumpkins.
Is putting pumpkins on the stairs safe?
Yes, if you keep them on the outer edge of every other step, never centered, and use mini or small pumpkins. For homes with kids or older guests, skip step-decor entirely and concentrate everything on the banister and newel posts.
What lighting works on a staircase?
Battery-operated fairy lights woven through the garland on a timer, plus a single tall lit lantern on the bottom newel post. Skip candles on the actual steps, they are a fall hazard.
