Wreaths Aren’t Just for Holidays: How to Use Them Year-Round

Wreaths don’t have to be just a winter thing. You can make them work all year round! Instead of stashing your wreath away after the holidays, try using a simple base like greenery or wicker. That way, you can easily switch up the look with some new accents for any season or occasion. Wreaths have been popular for ages – even in ancient Greece, Egypt, and Rome. They were used for more than just Christmas celebrations back then. So don’t be afraid to get creative and keep that wreath up all year long!

When you’re picking out a wreath base, go for something that’s not too specific to one season. Faux greenery like boxwood or generic foliage will look fresh year-round. Avoid bases that scream “winter,” like a pine wreath. For a more rustic vibe, try a grapevine or willow branch wreath. Just know those need more effort to style. You could also use a simple metal wreath ring, which gives you tons of flexibility to change up the look. Just be careful not to permanently attach any decorations – you want to be able to switch things up easily.

The way you style your wreath depends on the base and your personal taste. But it helps to use seasonal themes as inspiration. For spring, try tulips. In fall, use pinecones and dried foliage. In winter, dried oranges and traditional greenery like holly work great. You can also get more holiday-specific by adding themed ribbons, signs, or other inexpensive decorations. It doesn’t take much to totally transform a wreath’s look. Even a minimal wreath can bring nature inside all year long.
