How to Add Organic to your Decor

Plants are always a welcome in my home.  They add so much for such little expense.  I try to have some type of greenery in each room.  That being said, adding organic elements to your decor can take many forms besides plants.

Click HERE for ideas on using plants in your decor & caring for them so they live a happy long life.

How about a collection of smooth river rocks in a silver bowl.

Pinecones mixed with fruit in a big bowl.  Not just for Christmas time.

A big basket of cut firewood even if your fireplace is gas or doesn't work.

A wooden stump cut to be an accent table.

A stone remnant used as a tray to corral a vignette.

Apples or any kind of fruit in a bowl, on a shelf in a vignette.

Green apples are a favorite organic element in my decor all year round.  Click HERE and HERE for more ideas on using apples in your decor.

Pretty much anything from nature will look fabulous tucked into your vignettes & decor.  And this is the time of year to collect it all: acorns, deer sheds, feathers, wheat, dried flowers...

Wood slices used as chargers.

Crystals or geodes as display pieces or paper weights.

Moss balls or willow balls add a pop of organic.

Willow fencing as a wall cover - go with me on this, could be very cool.  You could even paint it.  The new shiplap maybe!  Listen in for what Anita & Yvonne thought of this 'out of the potted plant' organic decor idea!

All things from the sea driftwood, seashells, sea glass and coral.

How about a bowl of dried lavender to add some organic to your bathroom or bedroom.  On your nightstand it may even help you drift off to sleep.

Collect branches and display in a large vase for instant organic wow!  More HERE on these branches.

Curly willow or white birch branches are lovely or do what I do hunt for good ones in your neighborhood!  

Oh I could go on and on...and we did so listen in to hear how Yvonne & Anita add organic elements to their decor.

This is a beautiful & budget friendly way to decorate all year & especially at holiday time.  Do you have an "out of the potted plant" organic decor idea?  If so...share!
