Real them with your own hands not only adds a personal touch, but becomes a real seasonal ritual. It is not enough: some natural elements, a pinch of creativity and the desire to bring the warmth of autumn colors inside the house.
Whether it is an entrance to be embellished, a stripped wall to be revived or simply the desire to create something beautiful with simple materials, the garlands are an elegant and rustic way to welcome the season.
Creative ideas for rustic and natural autumn garlands
Sometimes, simplicity is the key to a surprising result. And with autumn, mother nature offers a palette of materials that seem designed to become beautiful: dry branches, colored leaves, berries e chestnuts. A garland made with intertwined lives of lives is already in itself a perfect base: organic, robust and suggestive. By adding maple leaves, small eucalyptus branches and some jute bows, the result may seem out of a rustic design magazine. It is not necessary to exaggerate: even if only three or four well -arranged elements tell a story. Another fascinating idea is that of the Ghirlanda “Spighe and cotton”. The spigs of wheat, with their raw texture, create a delicious contrast with the soft bouts of natural cotton. A touch of raw rope to tie everything together, and you’re done.
Those who love the brightest colors can opt for a composition with dried orange slices, cinnamon and starry anise: not only beautiful to see, but also very fragrant. After all, who has never collected a perfect leaf and then forget it among the pages of a book? With these garlands, every memory becomes decoration.

Ghirlande to hang (everywhere): inspirations outside the box
When you think of a garland, the mind immediately runs to the entrance door. But why stop there? Each corner of the house can become the scene of a seasonal decoration.
One of the most scenographic ideas is to hang mini garlands on the knobs of the wardrobes or windows. With a Bordeaux or mustard velvet ribbon, even the most anonymous handle turns into a refined detail.
Suspended above the bed, the garlands become autumn frames: light, poetic, perfect for creating atmosphere. And if hanging over the dining table, perhaps with some woven battery light, they give an effect wow.
The idea of the “waterfall” ghirland is curious: a vertical structure, with elements tied in line on a string, to be hanging as if it were a decorative tent. An original alternative for those who love to get out of the box.
After all, even a simple wooden staircase resting on the wall can become perfect support: just wrap a garland along the pegs and you’re done.
Rustic and chic at the same time.
