Lay the Foundation with Spooky Garlands for This Halloween
 
Every great design needs a solid base, and for our mantle, that’s a lush, dark garland. I’m not talking about a sad little string of lights. To get that full, dramatic look, you have to try one of the viral black maple leaf garlands. The best ones come pre-lit with subtle orange or purple twinkle lights. Draping one or two across your mantle instantly adds texture and casts this incredible, eerie glow that sets the perfect tone for everything else. It’s the single best thing you can do to make your setup look high-end.
