Artificial Ivy
Artificial ivy brings lush greenery to any space without the fuss of real plants. We love how it adds a touch of nature to our homes and gardens. These faux vines offer the beauty of creepers minus the need for water or sunlight.
They’re perfect for Aussies who want to spruce up their retail spaces or homes with some natural-looking charm.
We’ve found that artificial ivy works wonders in many spots around the house. It can dress up plain walls, soften harsh corners, or create a stunning backdrop for special events. The best part? It stays green and vibrant all year round.
No more worrying about seasons or pests – these vines always look their best.
For those keen on a mix of real and fake plants, artificial ivy pairs well with live indoor plants. You could hang a String of Pearls in a Grey/Green pot ($29.00) next to your faux ivy for a varied look.
This combo gives you the best of both worlds – low maintenance and living beauty. Next, let’s explore another popular vine option: Silk Wisteria.
Silk Wisteria
Moving from artificial ivy, we now turn to another stunning vine option: silk wisteria. This lovely flower mimics the grace of real wisteria without the fuss. We love how silk wisteria adds a touch of romance to any space.
Silk wisteria comes in various shades, from soft lavender to deep purple. Its cascading blooms create a dreamy effect, perfect for Aussie homes and gardens. We’ve seen it used beautifully on pergolas, arches, and even as table runners for special events.
At $29.00 for a Pothos Leaf Garland, it’s an affordable way to bring elegance to your decor.
For those who adore natural beauty but lack a green thumb, silk wisteria is a top pick. It requires no watering or pruning, yet still brings the charm of floral arrangements to your space.
We find it pairs well with other trailing plants, like our Coin Leaf In Pot, priced at $26.00. Together, they create a lush, garden-inspired look that lasts all year round.
Eucalyptus Garlands
Eucalyptus garlands bring a touch of Aussie charm to any space. We love how these lush green strands add a natural, fresh feel to homes and events. They’re perfect for draping over mantels, winding around stair railings, or hanging from ceilings.
Plus, they smell amazing!
We’ve found that eucalyptus garlands work well for both indoor and outdoor decor. They’re tough and can handle our Aussie weather. For a stunning look, try mixing them with other native plants like wattle or bottlebrush.
Next up, let’s chat about how to use vines creatively in your home.
Eucalyptus garlands are like a breath of the bush in your living room.
Creative Uses of Vines in Home Decor
Vines can add a touch of magic to any room. We’ve seen them transform plain walls into lush gardens and turn simple tables into works of art. These versatile plants offer endless ways to spruce up your home.
Wall Accents
We love using vines as wall accents in our homes. They bring a touch of nature indoors and create a lush, green backdrop. Artificial ivy is a popular choice for this purpose. It’s easy to hang and doesn’t need any care.
We can drape it over picture frames or create a living wall effect by covering an entire section.
Silk wisteria is another great option for wall decor. Its cascading flowers add a romantic feel to any room. We often use it to frame windows or doorways, creating a soft, dreamy look.
For a more subtle touch, eucalyptus garlands work well. They add a fresh, modern vibe and smell great too.
These vine wall accents aren’t just for everyday use. They’re perfect for special events as well. At weddings, we’ve seen stunning backdrops made with flower vines. They make for beautiful photos and add a magical touch to the day.
For parties, vine decor can set the theme – think tropical for summer bashes or cozy for winter gatherings. Prices for these items range from $15 to $650, so there’s something for every budget.
Doorway Embellishments
Moving from wall accents, let’s explore how vines can spruce up our doorways. Doorway embellishments with vines create a warm welcome for our guests. We can hang artificial ivy or silk wisteria around door frames for a lush, green look.
Our doorways become magical portals with the right vine decor. Eucalyptus garlands draped over the top add a fresh, Aussie touch to any entrance. For a pop of colour, we might mix in some chilli strands.
At $34.95 for a 46cm strand, they’re a great way to add Aussie flair without breaking the bank.
For special events, we can go all out with our doorway decor. Wedding arches adorned with vines make stunning photo backdrops. Baby showers get an extra cute touch with a wooden “Hey Baby” cake topper ($13.56) nestled in vine decor.
These simple touches turn our doorways into eye-catching focal points that wow our visitors.
Table Runners
From doorway decor to table runners, vines offer endless options. We love using vine-inspired table runners to add a touch of nature to our dining spaces. These long, narrow strips of fabric or greenery run down the centre of the table, creating a stunning focal point.
We’ve found that eucalyptus garlands make perfect table runners. Their soft green leaves and subtle scent bring the outdoors in. For a pop of colour, we mix in silk wisteria or artificial ivy.
These pair well with solid colour plates and cups in various styles. To complete the look, we add placemats and tablecloths that match the vine theme.
A table runner is like a river of green flowing through your dining room.
