Decorating with branches

Bring your autumn garden’s organic texture inside Produced by Suzanne Dimma, Catherine Therrien & Christine Hanlon; Photos by Nancy Tong

While you can’t deny the sweetness of a lush bouquet of blooms, the simple lasting beauty of a bare branch arrangement is just as stunning. We love the rawness and sense of the outdoors that fallen branches bring to a room. All you’ll need to create our branch art is some twine, a glue gun and a pair of pruners.

tip: Anchor tall heavy branches with pea gravel, river rock or sand. Cabinet, UpCountry.
