6 tips for decorating with evergreen branches – for your home at Christmas

1. Create a bouquet of evergreen branches

Bring instant Christmas cosiness into your home with a simple bouquet of evergreen branches. Easy to gather from your local park, they add a fresh, calming touch that enhances the season’s atmosphere. Place a few branches in a beautiful vase such as the Fountain vase from Ferm Living and elevate the look with subtle ornaments, such as these from Scandi Living, for a refined festive feel.

How to help your evergreen branches last longer:

• Keep them out of direct sunlight
• Water lightly
• Let the branches acclimatise slowly in a cool space just above freezing before bringing them indoors

3. Decorate your Christmas stocking with evergreen branches

Christmas stockings make charming seasonal accents on their own, but adding a touch of evergreen makes them feel even more festive. Tuck a few sprigs into the stocking and hang it on your front door or in a favourite spot at home to create an instant boost of Christmas spirit.

Tip: Place the evergreen branches in a small water-filled bag and secure it with a rubber band before slipping them into the stocking. This keeps the branches fresh and vibrant for much longer.

5. Add evergreen branches to your table setting

Create a cosy Christmas atmosphere at the dinner table by decorating with evergreen branches alongside your favourite porcelain, like Julemorgen from Wik & Walsøe. Use the branches as a natural table runner, tuck them into napkins, or pair them with homemade Christmas crackers for a festive, thoughtful touch.
