Floral arrangements, whether handcrafted or store-bought, have the ability to liven up a room. Freshly cut and brimming with bold colors and sweet aromas, they are one of the easiest ways to bring nature’s beauty into your home. While there’s no denying their effect, it’s safe to say that flowers aren’t for everyone. As someone with a house full of green plants, I can attest that there is beauty to be found in organic arrangements. From trees to branch limbs and stems, these elements can be used to create alluring displays all over the home.
Unlike traditional arrangements, organic styles embrace minimalism and lean into the barely-there aesthetic that has become popular. Most feature sparse, empty branches and dried leaves or grasses. Even down to the vase they’re stored in, which is usually simple and understated, they have a modest appearance that’s picture-perfect. That said, it’s no wonder they’ve become a popular choice and design trend on social media. Working with these arrangements is also easier than you might think. However, if you need some inspiration, we’ve gathered 6 organic arrangements to try right now. See them below and get started styling.
@eyeswoon Magnolia branches in their dried-out stage are just as beautiful (if not more) than when fresh. Festive with style (and sustainable too!). #eyeswoon #interiordesign #interiors #design #styling #floralarrangements #holidaydecor #homedecor
Magnolia branches sans the flowers can give your space a warm autumnal feel. When fresh, the leaves have a glossy emerald color, but when dried out, they take on a rich amber hue that is fitting for the colder seasons. This arrangement uses several bunches of branches that are full of leaves and a large ceramic vase for a natural effect. You can style them loosely in the vase or try bunching them together, as shown here, for a look that mimics a small tree.

If you enjoy using flowers to beautify your space, it can be hard to make the shift to sparse branches. This look combines the beauty of fresh flowers with large tree branches for a truly organic look. It’s even easy to style and simply requires placing the branches in a glass vase. However, acquiring and maneuvering with the large branches may require some skill. The large size of the branches means they need to be precisely cut and placed to avoid falling over.
@think.gold DIY branch arrangement that is basically free and still unique 🌳 #homedecor #naturewalk #brancharrangement #TikTokHomeDecor #DecorGoals
Of the arrangements on this list, this short and sweet style is the most beginner-friendly. Even better? It requires little skill to recreate. With just a few snips of your favorite branches or fallen stems, you can have a beautiful display. For this look, it’s essential to find stems and picks that fit your vase. That said, it’s best to search for a mix of lengths that will give you a blended look.
@summertstyles Replying to @marriinnaaag I found this large branch at a park. Cut it up and used it in 3 different places in my home. 🏡 🌳 I love the modern organic feel it brings. Add a simple light behind the branches and they 👀 gorgeous lit up at night! @@summertstyles #freediy#freedecor#budgetfriendlydecor#modernorganicdecor#decoratewithme#easydiy#diybranches#diyhome#treebranch#diymoderndecor
To be clear, this type of arrangement isn’t for everyone. The look is meant to be oversized to give the effect of leafless tree branches—think early winter trees just before the first snowfall. Extended limbs and towering heights are key elements of this look, and with the large size, placement is going to be key. Before you begin to build the arrangement, be sure to find a place in your home where the design can live comfortably. That means avoiding doorways and areas where there’s bound to be lots of foot traffic.
@kkasiaizabella Aren’t these faux oak branches amazing! 🍂 I have 3 in my vase and I love how they spill out naturally, they are easy to bend and reshape, & only $5 a stem! @target save + share for fall inspo on a budget 💛 #target #targetfinds #falldecor #fallstyle #boujieonabudget #fauxflorals #affordablehomedecor #ltkfindsunder50 #ltkhome ltkseasonal@target
Dried leaves bring just as nice of an organic aesthetic to a room. Like green plants, they infuse nature into the space while adding color like a bouquet of flowers. If you’re not a fan of using real dried leaves (they can be a hassle to clean up if crunched), you can opt for a faux stem instead. Your local craft or home decor stores will likely have an assortment of colors and styles to choose from, making it even easier to DIY.
@cfadesigngroup A blooming magnolia tree that last through spring and beyond. How? Our custom made – artificial trees and plants are made to look so realistic you will have to be remember not to water them. Completely customizable planter options are available to make each piece as unique as you. #cfadesigngroup #artificialflowers #plants #artificialplants #interiordecor
Tree decor has taken on a life of its own on TikTok. However, this look offers a different style and uses large flowers as the focal point. Keeping most of the flowers on the branches makes them the focal point of the arrangement. Still, the completed look feels natural and uniquely breathes life into the space.
