5 Ways to Style Your Home with Greenery

There’s nothing quite like the fresh and cozy vibes greenery brings into our homes, especially during the Christmas season. Instead of relying solely on store-bought decor, why not look to your own backyard for inspiration? Incorporating plants and foliage from your yard into your interior design not only adds a touch of nature but also creates a unique and personalized atmosphere. Here are five creative ways to style your home with greenery straight from your own outdoor oasis.


Celebrate the season by bringing outdoor greenery in for the winter. Adding a pop of red makes it a holiday home.

STATEMENT PLANTERS AND POTS WITH GREENERY

Transform your living spaces by introducing statement planters and pots that showcase the beauty of your yard’s green treasures. Collect a variety of shapes, sizes and materials to add visual interest. Vintage crates, colorful ceramic pots or aluminum planters can serve as charming homes for your plants. Cluster them in different corners of your home to create focal points and enhance the overall aesthetic.

NATURE-INSPIRED CENTERPIECES

Bring the charm of your front or backyard to your dining or coffee table by creating nature-inspired centerpieces. Gather a mix of freshly cut flowers, branches and foliage in various heights and textures. Arrange them in a stylish vase or a simple mason jar for a rustic touch. Not only does this add a burst of color, but it also creates a welcoming atmosphere for family and guests.


Try simple wreaths and garlands of greenery with just an accent of color and your own personal style.

GREENERY WALL ART

Capture the essence of your yard’s greenery by incorporating botanical wall art into your home decor. Pressed leaves, framed ferns or even a collection of vibrant flowers can be beautifully displayed on your walls. Consider creating a gallery wall with a mix of botanical prints and photographs, showcasing the diversity of your outdoor space and infusing a touch of natural elegance into your interiors.


Sticking to a red, white and green color palette keeps things cozy and traditional.

HANGING GARDENS

Maximize your living space by incorporating hanging gardens into your home. Macramé plant hangers are a trendy and stylish way to showcase your favorite potted plants, allowing you to bring greenery into unexpected places like empty corners or above furniture. Choose a variety of trailing and cascading plants to add depth and create a dynamic, visually appealing display.

SEASONAL GREENERY DISPLAYS

Celebrate the changing seasons by incorporating seasonal greenery into your home decor. In the spring, showcase blooming flowers. During the fall, opt for branches with colorful leaves; and in winter, bring in evergreen branches. Rotate your displays throughout the year to reflect the natural beauty of your yard, ensuring that your home decor is always fresh and in harmony with the outdoor environment.

Styling your home with greenery from your yard not only adds a touch of nature but also infuses your living spaces with character and personality. From statement planters to seasonal displays, there are endless possibilities to explore. So, head out to your backyard, embrace the beauty of your surroundings, and let your home become a reflection of the natural wonders just beyond your doorstep.
