Winter Home Decor Ideas Using Winter Flowers

With winter in full swing, many look outside and don't see much to inspire home decorating. However, winter flowers and natural materials from the outdoors can provide beautiful accents for your indoor spaces. Using elements like dried plants, evergreens, and berries is an eco-friendly way to add seasonal charm and color. Here are some ideas for incorporating winter blooms and organic accents into your home this season:

Decorate With Chrysanthemums

Have you noticed the beautiful Chrysanthemums at your local flower shop in Gatineau lately? They come in so many different colors like white, yellow, orange, and red. Chrysanthemums are one of the hardiest flowers and will last a very long time as a cut flower on your dining room table or on a shelf. You could also put them in a vase by the fireplace to add some nice color and smell to that area of your home as you relax by the warmth.

Make A Wreath With Dried Flowers

This is a fun craft you can do with friends one weekend. Look for flowers from your nearby florist in Renfrew Ontario like statice, strawflower, dried oranges, or lavender that have held their shape after drying. You can find packs of them already dried at craft stores. Get some wire and clips to put the wreath ring together. Then spend an afternoon snipping and gluing different dried flowers all around the wreath. Hang it on your front door so it welcomes visitors during the cold months.

Decorate Mantle With Pine Cones & Acorns

Nature provides beautiful decor for winter too. Look outside for pine cones, acorns, seed pods, and berries when taking a walk. Wash them off and let them dry fully before using them indoors. You can make a simple centerpiece for your mantle by placing the items you found in a low basket or on a tray. It adds interest and texture without using cut flowers that will wilt. Just be sure to check items for signs they may have insects before bringing them inside.

Tuck Pops Of Color In Glass Vases

Small glass vases or cylinders allow you to showcase single stems of winter flowers. Try placing vases with red carnations, pink roses, or mini orchids on end tables or along the tops of bookshelves around your home. The clear glass shows off the elegant blooms. It's a nice way to add pops of cheerful color without overpowering a space. Be sure vases are stable so they don't accidentally get knocked down.

Make A Framed Driftwood Arrangement

Look for unique shapes in dried branches or gnarly sticks you find on beach walks this season. Carefully clean off any debris then lay your finds on a sheet of paper to trace their outlines with a pencil. Cut the traced shapes from watercolor or art paper using scissors. Glue cotton balls or faux snow to the backgrounds. Then hot glue your driftwood pieces onto the paper frames. Hang them grouped together on a wall for a natural, wintery look.

Add Berry Bushes For Texture

Even in the colder months, shrubs like uneaten holly or berry bushes can add interest to your home. Look for clippings with red berries still attached that you can bring inside. Place cuttings in vases, lanterns, or clustered in urns around your house. Their bright berries and pebbly leaves will liven up plain areas. Be sure to change the water in containers every few days so cuttings stay fresh looking through the season.
