A Natural Approach For Winter Decor

One of the most enjoyable family traditions is decorating the home in preparation for the holiday season. From unpacking cherished ornaments, decorations like a butterfly metal wall hanging and all kinds of large wall art sculptures to choosing the perfect tree at a local tree farm, the holidays seem more meaningful when shared with family members. Whether you like a glamorous look full of sparkle or sophisticated palette of ice blue, silver and white; or whether you are a more traditional soul that loves green and red, Scotch plaid and all the trimmings, adding natural decor to your holiday interiors will add texture, fragrance and dimension.

Natural Holly Boughs
A stroll through the woods or your yard may supply you with holly and pine boughs to accent your interior and your home. Natural greens look wonderful with any holiday decorative scheme, from very traditional to very modern; as a bonus, you get the wonderful fragrance of pine throughout your home. Tuck greens on tops of armories, shelves, soffits and of course, the fireplace mantle. Red holly berries or cut red branches, such as those cut from redwing dogwood, add a festive touch. Greens can be dressed up with ornaments and lights or left natural and interspersed with pine cones and cinnamon sticks tied with red ribbon.

Winter Bulbs and Flowers
Pots of poinsettias are another way to add natural beauty to your holiday decor; either red or white poinsettias are stunning against backdrop of green or pure winter white. Even bare branches arranged in a vase can suggest the stark beauty of winter. Secure them in a vase by punching them in florist foam and then running a hot glue bead around the edge of each to secure it. Drape several gorgeous ornaments or crystals from the branches for a lavish look, or hang small glass vases on a few branches and add a fresh bloom to each vase. Try amaryllis, snowdrops or paper whites. Forced pots of these winter bulbs lends an inviting holiday touch to each room in the home.

Striking Candle Accents
Fragrant candles in cozy scents like gingerbread, peppermint, or cranberry make your home smell like you’ve been baking all day, even if you just picked up a tray of cookies at the corner bakery. Put safety first, invariably remembering that candles are highly flammable when using them around fresh flowers or greenery. Battery operated candles are a safer choice and you can tuck them right into your wall art arrangements.

Holiday Fun for Kids
Little children love to help with decorating and a traditional paper chain is invariably fun and easy to create. Any heavy weight paper or decorative paper can be used to make a chain for the tree, a banister or a railing. Kids also enjoy stringing popcorn for the Christmas tree. After the holidays, take the popcorn string outdoors and drape it on a tree branch for the birds to enjoy. If you use a real tree, take the entire tree to the garden, popcorn chain included. Twist floral wire around a dozen or so pine cones and let the kids help you smear peanut butter on the pine cones. Then roll the pine cones in bird seed and hang them on the tree to give the birds with a holiday feast to remember. If you place your discarded tree in the garden near your bird feeders, it will provide cover and safety for the birds all winter long.
