How to Decorate Your Frameless Glass Railings for Christmas
6 Ways to Add Sparkle to Your Holiday Décor
If you’ve read our previous blogs or been on our website before, you may already know about the benefits of frameless glass railings.
For starters, they’re made of tempered glass for optimal strength and durability – they’re actually shatterproof!
This makes them very safe for children and pets, plus they’re easy to clean and maintain. The finishing’s are stainless steel and will last for many years without discolouration or peeling.
Frameless glass railings also look contemporary and beautiful in any home.
Indoor glass railings are an ideal option for your stairways and attach to almost any existing wall without the need for baseboard-style foundations to hold the panels in place.
Outdoor glass railings are securely held in place with horizontal metal strips, much like a curtain rail.
They look best around patios, pools, balconies and verandas – anywhere you want to add safety without sacrificing aesthetics.
Practicality and looks aside, have you ever thought of decorating your frameless glass railings for Christmas?
During the Xmas season, we focus on picking out the perfect Christmas tree, stringing lights and hanging wreaths, but we often forget that indoor and outdoor glass can be a wonderful canvas for holiday décor.
Here are six holiday decorating ideas that will make your indoor or outdoor glass railings sparkle this season:
-
Attach a holiday garland to your frameless glass railing.
Whether you like a natural-looking forest green garland or white foliage adorned with red bows, use glass-safe adhesive tape or zip ties to secure your stylish décor in place.
-
Line the patio behind your outdoor glass railings with flameless pillar candles.
These fire-free candles look cozy, are safer around kids and pets and won’t go out when the winter wind blows.
The light will cast a gorgeous glow on the frameless glass during your holiday party. -
Hang a holiday stocking at the foot of your indoor glass railings.
Use safe adhesive tape or a zip tie to hang a plaid, all-white or reindeer-patterned decorative stocking.
Fill it with ornaments, candies or small gifts for an impressively easy holiday effect your guests will see as soon as they walk in the door.
-
Choose two trees for the stairs.
This holiday decorating idea works for outdoor and indoor glass railings.
Put small decorated Christmas trees on each side of the stairs for a warm, inviting look. You can use white or blue twinkle lights to create a winter wonderland at night. -
Stick on some holiday decals.
From Santa to snowflakes, you can find inexpensive and reusable Christmas decals to put on your outdoor or indoor frameless glass railings.
Look for ones that won’t damage your glass railing or leave sticky residue behind when you peel them off. -
Put the spotlight on the holidays.
Buy a Christmas projector or spotlight to cast holiday-themed animations onto your glass.
These weather-proof light machines have gained in popularity over the past few years, and are a great way to get Christmas lights up in higher places without a ladder!
