Make An Impact With These 5 Minimalist Summer Wreaths

Now is the time to think about summer wreaths. But finding a minimalist style wreath is tough.

It takes a great deal of thought to create a livable minimalist space. There is a nack to creating one that feels warm and inviting rather than cold and clinical.

Shouldn’t Minimalism be easy? All it takes is some neutral furnishings, a few art pieces hung on the wall, a single vase on the table, and voilĂ  – Minimalism!

After all, it is the art of decorating with less.

Of course, the effortless look is not so straightforward to execute. That is why I think you will enjoy these projects. All of them ring true.

I love this wreath because it captures the essence of minimalism.  

Most half wreaths use an entire hoop to make a statement. This one does it with the tiniest possible bit of framework.

It also emphasizes greenery with an elegant splash of natural color to focus your eye.

Start by creating a single-wire wreath base from heavy wire. Then use floral wire to attach the botanical picks. Finally, use the tiniest bit of neutral-colored string to create a hanger.

You’ll need heavy gauge wire, floral picks, and neutral string to complete your elegant DIY Minimal Wreath.

How to Make a Succulent Wreath

This wreath brings out a bit of nature many of us don’t think of – succulents.

They are a fantastic way to introduce both minimalist structure and texture using a natural element.

Plus, succulent colors can add a cooling blue-green cast to a focal point.

Also, you can use the wooden hoop to introduce color and wear patinas into your decoration. You might echo the floor or furniture wood colors.

Then again, a little distressing can add a nice contrast to a large and otherwise empty wall expanse.

You’ll need faux succulents and a wood embroidery hoop when you learn How to Make a Succulent Wreath.

A simple, uncluttered metal hoop forms the basis of this asymmetric wreath.  

I am inclined to use a little spray paint to get just the right color and texture for its location.

Start with a layer of faux eucalyptus greenery to set the wreath’s shape and size. Then add seasonal flower picks to pull colors from the surrounding room.

Finish with command strips and a hook to suspend this elemental sculpture from an interior wall. 

You will need an assortment of faux greenery and floral picks, a metal hoop, and command strips to complete your Minimalist Modern Summer Hoop Wreath Tutorial

DIY Simple Triangular Wreath

Minimalism explores shape, as does this wreath. It also uses a key element of minimalism – negative space. You may also hear it called white space because it is left ’empty.’

You will make your triangle from heavy gauge wire. You may want to spray paint it green to help hide it.  

Also, you don’t have to make the three sides equal. You might want to make them unequal to create an even more exciting focus.

Once you have made the triangle, you will cut three greenery picks just a little longer than the sides. Wire them into place, weaving the ends into the next side. It will look like a single piece.

You will need faux greenery. Something like rosemary, olive, or pine works well. Remember you need both a heavy gauge wire and floral wire.

You can create your DIY Simple Triangular Wreath in less than a quarter-hour.

This project uses a raw metal hoop as a counterbalance to a large asymmetric set of foliage bundles.  

The foliage choices for this project stick closely to minimalism’s neutral palette. Yet, it uses a variety of organic textures to bring natural interest to this wall art.

You will create four layered bundles of botanicals to build this project. Three of them will lie in the same direction. The fourth will lie in the opposite direction.  

Finally, you will use a large neutral-colored ribbon to cover the bases of the bundles and visually tie them together.

You will need a metal hoop and a ribbon. Select faux foliage from seeded eucalyptus, pampas grass, and florals. Make sure you have time to Get Crafty With This DIY Hoop Wreath.
