Modern Winter Wreaths
Holiday preparations are well underway, and we don’t know about you, but we love to use greenery to elevate our interior design projects. Indoor plants help to bring the outside in, and during the holiday season, it’s a great opportunity to add some real foliage into the mix and embrace the natural aromas of fir and balsam.
In this Shop the Look article we focus on Modern Winter Wreaths and explore our top design tips and ideas on how you can use winter wreaths in a contemporary way!
Let’s take a closer look at Modern Winter Wreaths!
How to Recognize a Modern Winter Wreath
Modern winter wreaths are typically wreaths that have a more simplistic and contemporary look to them. These wreaths don’t have lots of decor added, nor do they follow any specific color scheme. A modern wreath combines a few different types of leaves and foliage. In this case, less is more!
We love to use modern winter wreaths during the holiday season because they add a fuss-free elevated look to any front door or porch area. There’s a number of different styles and sizes available to suit any design preference and style.
Winter Wreaths Fun Facts:
Wreaths are a classic winter decoration yet have a deep history dating back to the 16th Century. In Ancient Rome wreaths were used as rewards and symbols of military success and excellence and were made of laurel or olive branches. They were also used to crown winners.
It wasn’t until the 19th century that wreaths were hung on front doors as they were known as “welcome rings”. Usually consisting of holly, ivy, pine cones and ribbons.
It’s no wonder then that the wreath has evolved from previous centuries, yet are made from similar branches and accents today!
