9 Stunning Wreath Ideas for Year-Round Use
Wreaths are great for more than holiday decorating!
Traditional evergreen wreaths that come around at the start of the holiday season are classically beautiful, but they aren't the only wreaths you can use to decorate your home (and the holiday season isn't the only time of year you can decorate with wreaths). Available in countless styles, materials, and sizes, wreaths make for amazing pieces of decor no matter the season. In this guide, we'll show you nine wreath ideas that aren't holiday-specific.
Tip!
Wreaths made from real greenery, flowers, or other organic materials are exceptionally beautiful and unique, but they might not last as long as you'd like. To ensure the longevity of your home's year-round wreaths, go faux. Real-touch wreaths are faux wreaths that look and feel just like the real thing. If you want to avoid purchasing an artificial wreath altogether, peruse our preserved and dried wreath options instead.
If you're a flower fanatic, you'll be delighted to learn about the existence of floral wreaths. These whimsical wreaths are equal parts beautiful and charming. Multicolored floral wreaths, especially those that incorporate bright pink and orange hues, are perfect for renewing a space with fresh energy. Yellow floral wreaths are warm and welcoming, excellent for making humble spaces feel more like home. If you're more interested in elegance than energy, go with a white, light green, or light blue floral wreath – the delicate colors will imbue your space with fresh beauty without demanding too much attention.
Could your bedroom walls benefit from a bit of unique decor? Think about hanging a wreath on the wall right above the headboard of your bed. This unconventional decor choice can make your bedroom feel more welcoming and comfortable, especially if you go with a simple wreath made of greenery. Available in many materials, greenery wreaths can lend themselves well to design styles of all kinds.
At the advent of fall, wreaths experience some much-deserved time in the limelight. And there's good reason – autumn- and harvest-related materials, like maple leaves, sprigs of wheat, pinecones, mini pumpkins, mums, eucalyptus, and sunflowers make for some incredible wreaths. Marked by stunning reds, oranges, and yellows, autumn wreaths are must-have pieces of seasonal decor. This fall, don't miss out on a chance to decorate your home with fall-themed wreaths.
Wreaths and farmhouse style go hand in hand, especially if the wreaths incorporate lots of rugged natural materials like eucalyptus, cotton, twigs, lamb's ears, dried grasses, and off-white flowers. If you'd like to add a wreath to your home's farmhouse decor, don't worry too much about placement – farmhouse wreaths can complement any space, even spaces already filled to the brim with decor.
If your outdoor living spaces need decor, look no further. Thanks to their natural look, wreaths look just as (if not more) appropriate hung outdoors as they do indoors. A wreath can decorate a wall beside your outdoor living space with friendly beauty. A bare spot on your home's siding is an invitation to hang a lovely outdoor wreath.
Have we mentioned yet that wreaths are welcoming? If you'd prefer to hang a wreath somewhere a bit more unique than on your front door, consider centering one above your entryway bench or hall tree. Hanging a wreath here is a beautiful way to welcome guests and decorate your entry space at the same time.
You've heard about holiday wreaths and fall-themed wreaths, so it's time to introduce you to the springtime wreath. Spring-themed wreaths weave fresh flowers and delicate greenery into rings of twigs or dried grasses. Spring wreaths are shy but sweet; they imbue a space with fresh warmth without imposing too much. These wreaths look incredible when hung both inside or outside of your home.
Looking for that perfect piece to fill the empty spot in your gallery wall? Try a wreath! A wreath's round shape can pair beautifully with the rectangular pieces you might already have in your gallery wall. A wreath's unique texture will help it stand out among two-dimensional pieces. You can choose a wreath that incorporates colors you've already used in your gallery wall or get creative and use a wreath to add colors and textures your gallery wall is missing.
Yes, there are winter-appropriate wreaths that don't have evergreen fronds, blinking lights, dazzling ornaments, or any other holiday-themed bits and baubles. You can decorate your space with wreaths made of forsythia, birch leaves, magnolia leaves, white flowers, or twigs. As long as you stick to a limited color palette that doesn't incorporate too many warm hues, you're golden.
