For the decor obsessed, changing things up at home by adding special touches to table tops and shelves feeds the soul. One of the trends we're seeing work beautifully in almost any room is using a branch or two as focal points, and we really can't get enough of it. From cherry blossoms to bamboo, here are some inspired branches we spotted on Instagram that truly elevate their surroundings.
1. Working from home seriously never looked so good. Athena Calderone's grid gives us all the feels all the time. She constantly uses branches in ways that are truly a dream. For real though, just look at the elegance these blossoms add to this already glamorous office. To die for.
