Instead of buying man-made accessories, I love to bring nature indoors. Think about using branches in all shapes and sizes. Place them on cocktail tables, in vases, and on shelves. Branches are great for dinner parties too mixed with other design elements on the table.
For a really remarkable look, stand branches in jardinieres and hang them on walls. It makes a bold statement that is very sculptural.
Large branches also provide opportunities to showcase collections. One of my favorite themes is beauty. When you see something beautiful in your daily travels, write the idea on a handmade-paper tag and hang it on the large branches. For unexpected sparkle, add strings of crystal beads too. Sharing ideas on branches is a great way to practice reverence and celebrate natural beauty in an ever-changing way. Think about hanging seashells from natural jute, antique keys, or gorgeous preserved flowers as well. The possibilities are endless. Happy hanging.
