Decorating with branches – beautiful ways to integrate branches into your home decor infusing it with seasonal elements.
’tis the season to do a little fall decorating, integrating the colors of fall into our home in an organic, subtle way. I most often do this decorating with branches and twigs!
Today I’m sharing our fall kitchen decor and tips for decorating with branches as part of the Seasons of Home series.
The easiest way to decorate for a holiday or season is to bring the outdoors in. It instantly brings a room to life while incorporating the colors of the season.
With Labor Day behind us and school in session, I am excited to infuse our home with hints of fall. I tend to keep our home decor to a minimum, blending function and design, but I almost always have fresh flowers or branches because they bring me an abundance of joy.
Just beyond our kitchen window are a few crabapple trees. While they’re not in the best shape, there’s something effortlessly beautiful about the three tone leaves and pretty pink and red hues rom our crabapple branches. They’re the perfect way to add pop of fall color for our fall kitchen decor.
A single branch hanging from the hood instantly updates the kitchen for fall.
You can also fill a vase with 3 {or 5} unmanicured branches to give a space height. This is perfect for a coffee table, side table, area next to a bench or as shown, kitchen island.
They’re also the perfect addition to any tray in a tiny bud vase. They add color and texture this bar tray.
As a minimalist who strives to maintain a clutter free home, I tend to showcase seasonal fruits or vegetables like apples in one of my creamware bowls which adds a pop of color.
To soften it up, I added a couple of my favorite washed linen hand towels in sage green. This time of year, I also love to showcase a little more metal like unlacquered brass and copper and wood elements to add a little warmth. Do you decorate your kitchen for fall?

I just love the organic simple way the twig adds something fresh to every item you placed it with. I can’t wait to add a few around my house now. Thanks for sharing. Happy Halloween week and happy day!!

Julie, I love the branches! I’ve been doing the same thing for many years with branches from our curly willow trees. Those Command hooks really come in handy, and especially during the holidays.
Oooh! Curly willow trees are dreamy to bring in! Hope you enjoy a beautiful fall!
Where do you purchase your favorite washed linen towels? Thanks!
I LOVE Target’s flour sack towels and linen from Etsy. I just purchase whatever color strikes me!
What a beautiful idea to use branches. I love the natural look! How did you hang the branch above your stove?
Thank you! I use Command Hooks!
