Minimal and graphic

  1. Use a brass or black metal hoop with greenery on one side only.
  2. Try square, star or hexagon frames for a modern shape.
  3. Go monochrome with all-white or all-green materials.

Natural textures

  1. Combine eucalyptus, olive and pine for varied greens.
  2. Add dried grasses and seed heads for a neutral palette.
  3. Tuck in pine cones and dried citrus for a rustic-modern blend.

Colour and shine

  1. Add metallic accents like gold-painted leaves or small baubles.
  2. Play with unexpected colours such as blush, navy or burgundy.
  3. Finish with a velvet ribbon in a deep tone.

DIY and display

  1. Make a DIY wreath on a wire or embroidery hoop.
  2. Layer two hoops of different sizes.
  3. Hang wreaths indoors on mirrors, windows and chairs.

Tip: Use outdoor-rated, battery-powered lights on door wreaths, and keep real-greenery wreaths away from candles and heaters. Use a sturdy over-door hanger or adhesive hook rated for the weight.
