Twigs are a favorite design element of mine. They can be squiggly or straight, rustic or severe, white or dark. So it’s no surprise that they’re effective for way more than just furniture. Take a gander at some of the inventive ways that twigs can be used as architectural elements in the home.
These are actually lengths of branches, and are linear rather than twisty. But the natural feel is the same.
Twig railings are appropriate outside as well. In this wondrous rendition, the organic balustrade ties this home to its gorgeous setting. Check out companies like Mountain Laurel Handrail for railings like this that are built with local building codes in mind.
Consider twigs as window dressing. Aren’t they rustic, imaginative and perfect for this wood and stone cabin?
Long branches were arranged over homey beams to create an organic awning at this Colorado home.
And…my favorite of all. This Aspen room divider.
Twigs offer a treasure trove of options for decor, inside and out. Best of all, they’re free, abundant and often strikingly beautiful. Grab a friend or grandchild or two and a pair of hefty clippers, and head into the woods to see what magic awaits you.
