Wreaths are practically synonymous with the fall and winter seasons, though all too often, they are disposed with the coming and going of holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Brooke Shields has shown us that there are creative ways to decorate with wreaths beyond the typical doorway or mantel placement.
The actor recently shared a snap of her bedroom, and we couldn't help but admire her natural wreath hanging above her bed. The bristled texture makes a statement against the white wall, complementing the matte black sconce next to it.
Decorating with a wreath is clearly not just seasonal; the one in Brooke's room adapts to her neutral, sanctuary-inspired aesthetic beautifully, proving that these leafy wall hangings are the ultimate transitional accessory.
I'm often on the lookout for more neutral fall decor ideas, and this wonderful wreath will provide the perfect seasonal touch to any doorway or mantel.
Shea McGee's autumn wreath mimics the welcoming natural detail of grapevine, statice, and winterberry branches. The high-quality faux greenery is a seasonal staple that you can bring out year upon year.
I've been obsessed with rich yellow tones since I spotted Magnolia's harvest hosting edit at Target, and this wreath is certainly an ode to the harvest season.
According to design experts, bringing the outside in is one of the best ways to transition fall decor into winter (and beyond).
'Nature continues to inspire interiors, and winter is a great opportunity to invite the outdoors inside,' says Josh Branigan, a furniture and home interiors expert at homeware retailer Cuckooland.
'Replace pumpkins and autumn leaves with evergreen branches, pinecones, and sprigs of holly. A vase of eucalyptus or a simple wreath on the door can instantly refresh a space. Using natural materials keeps the home’s interiors grounded and balanced during the darker months.'
One of the main appeals of a wreath in the bedroom is that it doubles as a sculptural piece of artwork on the wall; an element of texture that Josh explains is perfect for transitioning decor between seasons.
'Transitioning from autumn to winter doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul,' he states. 'Build upon your existing autumnal setup by layering warmth and texture. Keep hold of your rich, earthy hues, but introduce softer neutrals, like ivory throws, oatmeal cushions, and knitted textures, to ease the shift into winter. This gradual change will keep your home inviting as the seasons turn.'
For a simple and elegant wreath option, we are partial to this dried eucalyptus variation from Target.
