Forget the fake foliage and go for real greens. These winter-ready branches are perfect for the season and add a hint of natural color to any home or front door.
This little decoration manages to combine many natural elements that work well together. It’s the perfect way to add touch of cheer to a knob or hook.
Feel a festive DIY project coming on? This simple wreath is elegant and beautiful. Bright color pairs well with a modern brass ring and natural greenery. You may have to refresh with new flowers, but this look is worth it.
Scandinavian décor is understated elegance at its best. Same goes for this simple stunner. Stick with neutrals and one vibrant hue.

An unassuming fireplace, sans mantel, calls for decoration that doesn’t overwhelm. A willowy wreath adds a feminine touch to a stark space. And it definitely won’t go unnoticed.

Here’s an idea: Take that green wreath that’s hiding in your storage closet, add eucalyptus branches and a fresh bunch of frosted pinecones, and you have a brand new decoration. Now that’s what we call up-cycling.
Unexpected? Yes. But that’s what makes this little beauty so much fun. Antlers, feathers, dried berries, and twigs are the perfect touch to a modern rustic home.
Into neutrals? Try a wreath of washed-out woods. This one looks gorgeous with a traditional garland.
Sometimes a grouping looks better than one. Purchase boughs of your favorite greenery (eucalyptus, pine, juniper, and olive branches work nicely), and wrap around wire. Hang with ribbon or twine.
A contemporary space calls for ornaments that match. Try out a gold wreath in a geometric design. Artistic and modern, but still has that holiday feel.
How fun is this air plant wreath? Adorned with itty bitty berries and a few well-placed golden leaves, the look is unexpected and cool.
A boxwood wreath is always in style. Personalize yours with a wide ribbon that looks great against your front door. This striped choice keeps the look current.
