Whether you're looking for a gorgeous fall accessory or planning ahead for your holiday door decor in advance, wreaths are a staple when it comes to seasonal decorating. Not only are they an easy way to dress up your home for the season, you can also customize them to fit any aesthetic and, of course, make a fun at-home DIY project out of it.
While you're likely familiar with seeing wreaths hung on a doorstep for passersby to enjoy, there’s been a recent, noticeable shift when it comes to their placement. Now, home decor aficionados and design influencers alike are petitioning for using them to deck up their indoor spaces.
They're familiar with adorning cabinets and wall decor—but what about putting your wreath on the inside of your front door?

You’ll also find vibrant pink, lavender, and even white mums to dress up containers and gardens. Mums are easy to care for but require regular watering to keep them flowering for many weeks. How much water plants need and how often you should water mums varies depending on where the plant is growing. Follow these simple tips to determine when to water mums and keep them looking their best all season.
Let's be honest: staying on top of cleaning and organizing every room in your home can get overwhelming—and before you know it, piles of junk on countertops and crammed-full kitchen cabinets can feel unmanageable.
Even if you aren't fortunate enough to live next to a meadow of wildflowers, you can still capture their untamed beauty in a container or garden this summer by planting cosmos. Cosmos come in various colors, from burgundy to pink to white. Mix them up for a more natural look, like a wildflower meadow. Bonus: this colorful flower, native to tropical America, attracts birds and butterflies with its cheery blooms. Because of their wildflower characteristics, cosmo flowers are considered invasive in some environments. Cosmos are prime not only for containers but for creating a mass of color in borders or backgrounds or as a filler among shrubs.
