If you have been here before, you might have caught on to how much I love to keep things simple. And in keeping things simple, I also believe that you don’t have to skimp on making it ridiculously beautiful. I wanted to share with you an easy and budget-friendly decor idea – decorating with branches! I know, sounds crazy that you can take some dead branches from outside and beautify your home with them, but stick with me. Let me show you!

While on my morning walk, I kept an eye out for some great options. This time of year is perfect as things start to die off for the fall and winter seasons. I found a few branches that gave me something to work with and brought them home with me. 

I knew I had a large vase that I wanted to use for our entryway table. It was the perfect size to make a statement with some branches that help to bring the fall vibe into our home. This vase is one from the Hearth and Hand line by Magnolia at Target. It’s no longer available online since it was a piece from earlier in the year, but you might be able to find some in your local store. I was at mine yesterday and there were a few remaining. But don’t worry, at the end of the post, I have a few linked that will help you achieve the same look.

For this simple decor project, I decided to assemble it in the garage. I simply took my time to break off parts of the branches and play around with them. It will take just a bit of time to adjust and style your branches to achieve the look you want, but the end result is always stunning.

Who knew right?! An easy and budget-friendly decor idea using branches found outside. It’s the perfect touch for fall, but you can easily approach this the same way in the spring and summer!

Just below I linked those faux taper candles that still have my jaw dropped over how realistic they are (I shared all about them in my stories over the weekend). They are the best I have found! The candlestick holders are a Pottery Barn dupe I found at Hobby Lobby. They are beautiful! However, I did link the ones from Pottery Barn below as well. I also added a few additional vases and round mirrors to help you complete the look!

 
I hope this inspires you in your home! And that you can make something simple, but also make it absolutely beautiful!

More fall decor ideas coming next week so stay tuned!
