Do you know what one of my favorite go-to home decor staples is? It’s none other than the lowly twig wreath. Twig wreaths pack a lot of bang for the buck! They’re inexpensive, come in a myriad of sizes and they add loads of that all important texture any place that you use them. And they aren’t meant for simply hanging on a door either – there’s so much more that you can do with them!
I often like to do something a little unexpected with my candlesticks by placing decorative orbs on top of them instead of candles. The boxwood orbs that I placed on the candlesticks on my mantel last spring looked a little blah, but when I added a twig wreath it was just that extra little something that they needed.
SPRING FIREPLACE MANTEL AND HEARTH
One thing that you’ll see repeated over and over in my home, is a twig wreath added to the front of just about anything. In my office, I used twig wreaths to dress up the front of a couple of vintage printer’s trays. I think the trays would look pretty boring without the wreaths.
GETTING STARTED WITH MY OFFICE MAKEOVER
On the gallery wall behind the sofa in my family room, I added a twig wreath to the front of an old shutter. The black and white ribbon that it’s hanging from helps it to pop.
MY NEW AND IMPROVED GALLERY WALL
I used twig wreaths hanging from black and white checked ribbon to dress up the front of my kitchen cabinets last Christmas. Each wreath has an ornament hanging inside it and little greenery and berries hot glued to the top.
CHRISTMAS IN MY FARMHOUSE KITCHEN
To dress up a framed printable, I even added a small wreath to some greenery sprays that I tied together. It’s hanging from more black and white ribbon and has red berries tucked into the greenery.
I’ll say it again – twig wreaths can be used for just about anything! Here I’ve used one as part of the filler in my dough bowl. This dough bowl is rather deep and the twig wreath helps to take up some of the space.
HOW TO LAYER AND FILL A LARGE DOUGH BOWL
Twig wreaths are a no-brainer when it comes to fall decorating. Here, I simply leaned a 12″ twig wreath up against the aged wood boards on my fall mantel.
Twig wreaths are great for stacking too! I love, love, love stacking two wreaths together as a topper for the urns on my front porch! The bottom wreath is a spray style twig wreath and the top one is just a regular one.
Welcome To My Fall Front Porch
On my front porch this fall, I added a few fall picks wedged into the wreaths. Super easy and they add quite a bit of fall punch!
Last year, I dressed them up with just mini berry garland. Very, very simple. In this case, the twig wreaths helped to hold the pumpkins in place.
And lastly, I stacked two twig wreaths on top of each other in the tray that I put together for my fall coffee table. These wreaths do a nice job of helping to fill the tray – one wreath was just too skimpy looking.
ONE FALL COFFEE TABLE – TWO WAYS
So, if you aren’t already using twig wreaths, other than to hang them on a door, have I made a believer of you?
Angela says
You’ve made a believer out of me, I’ll definitely be using them.
S says
Where do you find your twig wreaths? Love the suggestions on how to use them!
Suzy says
Good morning! I find most of my twig wreaths at craft stores and sometimes at home decor shops. You can order them from Amazon too. Hope this helps!
Donnamae says
I’m impressed! Thanks for all the tips! 😉
Linda at Mixed Kreations says
I have never thought of the idea of using twig wreaths any other way than hanging. I love this idea. All these great ideas make me want to run out and buy different sizes of twig wreaths. Thanks for showing all your wonderful ways to use twig wreaths
Angie @ Postcards from the Ridge says
I love all of your ways to use twig (we call them grapevine wreaths in Tennessee) wreaths. I have several and am going to be using them all over the place now! And thank you so much for visiting with me and letting me feature you lovely home on my blog. Have a great week!

Pam Ballard says
Well now I must fine a twig wreath. So simple and yet so perfect.
Jen D. says
I use twig wreaths in my decor, too – love it’s simplicity. I’m inspired by all the ways you’ve used yours. I used one under a pumpkin this year, too, and it has helped to keep it place.
Mary says
I’m a believer. I love using wreaths but never think to use them in a horiztal way. Great ideas. Thx
Brandi Raae says
Love these ideas!
Botanic Bleu says
Suzy,
Love last year’s pumpkins sitting on wreaths in the urns. The orange berries added just the right touch of extra color. Horizontal wreaths are some of my favorite ways to decorate, also, and I enjoyed seeing yours to give me more inspiration.

Jill Miglin says
Love the seasonal decorating ideas.
Mildred says
Twig wreaths everywhere…love them.
But my favorite is the old shutter you have incorporated into the mixed wall in your family room.
Love seeing all your pics.
Linda Hudson says
I can’t tell you how much I look forward to reading and enjoying every blog you do, I have a lot of mini wreaths that I use as napkin rings but love the idea of hanging them from the kitchen cupboards.
Thank you for all your inspirations.
Lorraine says
Love the Christmas decorations in the kitchen. Absolutely darling. Do you put anything on the back of the wreaths to prevent scratching as you open and close the cabinet doors?
Suzy says
Hi Lorraine. No – I didn’t put anything on the back of them, but I did make sure that there weren’t any sharp points of the back of each wreath. My cabinets have the factory finish on them – I’m not sure if self-painted ones would be more easily scratched or not.
Donna says
I love your Christmas in the Farmhouse kitchen. Just enough decorations. You won’t have to spend hours putting away.
Mildred says
I love those big architectural doors over your fireplace!

I have a couple of large twig wreaths that I never really discovered a thoughtful way of using as decor, I can see from your photos how the smaller ones can be oh so handy to decorate with and I will now be getting some of those. Thanks for the tips!
Linda Owens says
You have such wonderful ideas!! I really love the kitchen Christmas decorations. Thanks for sharing.

Sharon says
I use twig wreaths rather absent-mindedly, now I realize the impact they make! My favorite use that you’ve shared are the mini-wreaths under the orbs in your candleholders — just love them!
Dianne Lanier says
Now I have no excuse for not using the wreath that has been in my garage for five years. I thought they had to be embellished. You are always so inspiring!
C Kiser says
Yes, twig wreaths add nice texture! Some good ideas!
Dianne says
The dining room is to die for! The painted chairs are a home run!!!
Shawn says
Everything looks great!
nancy dempsey says
I agree. Twig wreaths can be used many ways and in any season. Thanks for all of your beautiful, unique examples.
Carol Elkins says
I love how you’ve used the twig wreaths all throughout your home.
Julie B. says
*runs out to purchase all the twig/grapevine wreaths*!
mattsgramma says
Love it all Suzy!
Melanie says
What a smart, simple decoration. I k ow I have some of these tucked in the back of a closet.
Kathy says
I currently have twig wreaths in my kitchen and dining room tablescapes. I like to double my wreaths (one smaller, one a bit larger) when I hang them as wreaths. They look more substantial for curb appeal.
TwoPlusCute says
I love twig wreaths too, you are so right, they are a fantastic staple!
You are using it masterfully I should add, very inspiring photos.
Donnamae says
When you put all these ideas together….it is really impressive! 😉
Bonnie says
I have a couple of twig wreaths that I use in my home and I really enjoy them.
Cynde says
I just read about your love of using the grapevine wreath, I love them too! As I was reading I noticed a couple of pumpkins on the mantle that had a black and white pattern. I was wondering if that was a craft technique you used or did you purchase them? Thank you, Cynde
Suzy says
Hi Cynde. If it’s the pumpkins that I’m thinking of, they came from Target a couple of years ago.
Deborah McDonough says
Your eye for decorating is impeccable! I love the black wire candle holders on your porch in the urns and also on the coffee table vignette. Do you mind if I ask where you purchased them?
Suzy says
Thank you, Deborah! I purchased the candle holders in the urns at At Home last year and the small one on my coffee table came from TJ Maxx (I think!).
Deborah McDonough says
Thank you so much!
Gail K. says
Love the idea to use a tiny wreath on your candle sticks with the orb. Sometimes I find my candles are too skinny for the candle sticks I want to use, so this is a great idea.
Thanks for all your great tips.
