Decorating with Swags


32 in. Sanibel Rose Arch Swag

For centuries swags have added accent to homes during the holidays. Over the years swags have become popular for accenting home decor year-round with a wide variety of sizes, styles, and materials. Swags can be the perfect accent for rustic, country, and traditional decor styles.

Enhance Your Walls with Swags
Swags can be used to enhance the look of a simple wall or hallway. Small swags are perfect for accenting spaces above doors or archways. They can be hung as individual arrangements or combined for an impressive look. Rustic bedroom decor can be enhanced with creatively placed swags. Swags crafted from branches and dried flowers can bring rustic accents to any room.

Types of Swags
Swags can be crafted and displayed in a variety of ways. The basic swag is an arrangement much like a bouquet of flowers, tied together arrangements of various branches, greens, flowers and other accents. But swags can be presented in many ways in your decor.

Some swags are incorporated with wall sconces to create an elegant presentation. Items can be crafted with swags such as country hats, baskets, fabrics, pinecones, ribbons, and bells to offer unique looks whatever your decor style. Tabletop swags can also be used to enhance any setting. Add ambiance to your swag with candles or spot lighting.

Color and Contrast
When designing your decor with swags, wreaths or garlands, make sure to take into consideration the colors of the arrangement and compare with the colors of your walls. There needs to be a certain amount of contrast in when placing swags otherwise they blend into the wall color. This drains the swag of its potential nuances of color and texture. Try placing the swag on walls that allow contrast. If the swag has a dominant dark pattern, try placing it on a wall or background that is lighter.

Too much contrast can also affect the way the color pops from the arrangement, so in turn, don't place an extremely dark swag up against a pure white wall. When ordering or crafting a swag, choose color patterns that will work well with your existing wall colors to maximize the effect.

Lighting
Swags are meant to draw attention and create a sense of beauty and peace. One way to enhance the look of your arrangement is to add a small spotlight and aim it at your swag, wreath, or garland. This works well for arrangements that have lots of detail. Natural lighting can also bring out the colors of a swag, but try to avoid direct sunlight as this can fade color. Proper lighting can bring out hidden colors of the swag, showing its full decorative potential to all your friends and family.
