What better way to
decorate your home than with what nature gave you? While flashy decorations
with loads of lights, foil paper and other flashy decorations look good,
organic decorations can bring a refreshing change in greenery and fresh scents
in the home. The good thing about organic decorations is that you will find
most of what you need on your lawn, grocery store or at the nearby park. Here
are some organic decoration ideas you can try.
Garland on the front door
Why not give your guests
a simple, beautiful and colorful welcome to your home with a garland of flowers
on the front door? You can make a wreath from pine cones or raffia leaves and
add a bit of color with roses.
Greenery on the front
porch
Give your home a rustic rural feel by placing a few garden items on the front porch.
Place a few pumpkins on a bale of hay like they are fresh off the farm. These
are complimented with potted plants featuring earthy colors like brown, orange
and green.
Leaf decorations
There are hundreds of types
of leaves out there with a rich variety in shape, color and texture that you
can make into very interesting decorations. Make the decorating a whole family
affair by inviting the kids to make exciting crafts which they can detail with
marker pens, and colorful beads.
Stairway garlands
Make your stairway more
colorful with a garland. You can make a simple and colorful garland from
grapevines or flexible tree branches. If you need to make a longer garland, use
a thin but stiff wire to connect several branches.
Lots of flowers
A bouquet of fresh
colorful flowers is suitable for any party. Popular colors for a holiday feel are red, orange and yellow. A vase of flowers can be
placed as a centerpiece on the table.
You can place free hanging flowers on the wall to brighten up the place.
Delicious Fruits
Use fruits as decorations
and your guests will be delighted to see something beautiful that they can also
eat. Colorful fruits like oranges, bananas, and apples can be put in a bowl and
placed on the table to add a bit of color and serve as appetizers.
Beeswax candles
You can make sweet
scented candles using beeswax and a few drops of an essential oil like lavender.
Make luminaries using paper bags and place your candles in them for soft
holiday lighting. You can place these candles even outdoors as the sweet scent
will keep the bugs away.
These are great natural ideas that will invite the outside in. Happy Holidays!
