Ever look around your home and feel like something's missing? You've got the furniture, the curtains, and wall art; but there's still a void. Perhaps a lack of warmth? Have you considered ways to decorate with wreaths?

It's amazing how much wreaths can change the character of a room.

Through the changing seasons, there are so many ways to decorate with wreaths that are simple and easy, yet offer a high return.

Imagine this: It's cold outside but warm within your cozy living room. There’s soft music playing and hot cocoa on hand while snowflakes gently fall against the windowpane. Now imagine adding a touch more magic with wreaths—beautiful circles of greenery bringing life to every corner they grace.

And when spring finally comes and beautiful daffodils are blooming and green iris leaves are finding their way through the soil, changing your wreaths with fresh color helps you welcome the warm weather that you are so eager for.

The ways to decorate with wreaths are countless and versatile; they're not just for doors anymore!

Ways to Decorate with Wreaths in Your Living Spaces

If you thought wreaths were just for your front door, think again. From hanging on vintage window frames to incorporating into shelf decor, here are some creative and easy ways to incorporate wreaths indoors.

Hang Wreaths on Vintage Window Frames

One of our favorite ways to decorate with wreaths is using an old window frame as a backdrop for your beloved wreath. It adds that extra primitive country charm while showcasing the beauty of the wreath itself.

Don't have any vintage windows lying around? No problem. Looking at flea markets and online stores like Etsy are great places to find windows.

Hanging a wreath on a window gives off such a rustic touch that it's sure to catch everyone's eye - it truly transforms the look and feel of your room.

Hung here is the 26-inch penny leaf rust wreath.

As the seasons change, you can simply switch out your wreath for a different one to suit your decor.

Incorporate Wreaths into Shelf Decor

The shelves in our homes often serve as mini gallery walls where we display our cherished items – photos, art pieces, memorabilia – why not add a small or medium-sized wreath?

You can hang one directly onto the wall behind the shelf or even place one standing freely among other decorations. Either way creates depth and dimension.

This Weatherly buds wreath is a cozy addition to this shelf with other country decor.

Shown here is the 13-inch Weatherly Buds wreath.

Add a complimentary small wreath and--voila! Your everyday shelf has now turned into an artistic statement piece.

I've found this decorating idea works best when you choose simpler designs so they don't overwhelm but complement what's already there. You can even select a neutral wreath to stay put as your seasonal shelf decor alters.

Add Seasonal Touches To The Mix

As you look at various ways to decorate with wreaths, you can mix it up with the changing of the seasons.

During fall and Thanksgiving, you can look display a wreath with beautiful, rich, fall colors. When winter rolls around, consider switching out your regular wreath for an evergreen or a pine one adorned with red berries and twinkle lights.

Do you have an old ladder that you use in your decor?

You can also brighten the space with fresh spring and summer designs to freshen it up.

Changing decor is a fun way to keep it interesting, and adding a festive wreath around Christmas is fun and easy to get into the holiday spirit. And who doesn't love that?

You don't need an extensive collection either; even one well-placed piece can make all the difference. It's about quality over quantity when curating this creative workspace feature.

During winter months, the days are darker, but your home office can still be a bright spot.

Add Desk Accents

The joy shouldn’t stop at walls. There are other ways to incorporate Christmas cheer into every corner of your home office - starting with where you spend the most time: Your desk. How about placing small artificial greenery beside your laptop as a daily reminder of the holidays?

During warmer months, a beautiful, bright spring mini-wreath could be hung from the corner of your monitor or even around a desk lamp. These smaller touches might seem minor, but they contribute significantly to creating that cheery atmosphere in your workspace.

Choose the Finishing Touch: Your Office Door

Keep that theme going throughout your office. When you leave and enter your space, a beautiful wreath on the door to greet you is a great way to transition from your work hat to your home hat.

This is also an easy way to wrap your decor around your room. With wall decor, desk accents, and door greetings, you'll have everything you need for your cozy work retreat.
