Kourtney Kardashian's voluminous, illuminated garland brightens her staircase – it will look just as good next year (and it's so easy to recreate)
The socialite's simple, green garland makes a massive difference on her modern, minimal staircase – providing some festive cheer with lights

The holidays are nearly here, and with them comes the joy of stairway decor. While stairwells don't always get a lot of love during the rest of the year, Christmas is the perfect time to jazz them up with a simple accessory: garlands.
Kourtney Kardashian's take on garland dressing for the stairs is chic and easily replicable – all you need is garland and some string lights (or, for an even simpler option, opt for garland that comes pre-lit).
As well as being festive and fresh, experts say that garland is one of the best Christmas decor ideas for those who are looking for straightforward options that are just as easy to put up as they are to take down.
'Invest in freestanding items like tabletop trees, holiday figurines, and lanterns,' says trends expert at Tapi Carpets & Floors, Johanna Constantinou. 'These decorations eliminate the need for hooks, screws, or sticky adhesives, which can damage paint, leave residue, or create holes in walls. Use lightweight ornaments and garlands to reduce strain on hooks or fixtures; these are also less likely to scratch or dent surfaces. Lightweight garlands can be draped over stair banisters or furniture without causing scratches, and pre-lit faux greenery can be laid along countertops or bookshelves for a festive touch without adhesive.'

Shop Kourtney Kardashian's Garland Look
This lush-looking Colorado Spruce Artificial garland from Walmart is an excellent buy and will work both indoors and out. We recommend gathering two together for a fuller look similar to the one in Kourtney Kardashian's space.
This realistic green faux garland features foliage of mixed pine branches and eucalyptus leaves for a natural-themed festive look.
If you don't fancy crafting or foraging your own Christmas garland, worry not. This gorgeous, fully-decorated design comes pre-lit for minimal effort and maximum style.
If you want your Christmas decorations to look high-end, then the National Tree Company 9-foot garland is loved by everyone at the H&G offices. This berry and pine cone-laden design could almost pass as real. It certainly fooled me...
These subtle yet clear Christmas lights are an understated solution to a Christmas classic. Unlike the brighter (or more colorful) alternatives, they offer a soft twinkle that doesn't demand attention in your space.
Arguably the most minimalist Christmas lights on the market, we love the fact that these LED icicles vary in size and length. The variation adds depth and dimension to your indoor Christmas lighting ideas, perfect for hanging from a console in your entryway.
Investing in entryway decor, especially when it's as versatile as a garland, is never a bad idea – no matter how close it may seem to the big day. While it may be slightly too late to make a first impression with a Kardashian-inspired garland this side of Christmas, you can still get the look before New Year. Rest assured. However, this garland will look just as beautiful for many Christmases ahead.
