Vintage Brass and Dried Citrus
For those who cherish nostalgia and a touch of bohemian warmth, a vintage brass and dried citrus staircase is the ultimate holiday statement. This look celebrates the beauty of natural elements paired with aged metals. Start with a structured cedar or cypress garland, which has a more delicate, feathery texture than pine. Thread a delicate string of dried orange, grapefruit, and lemon slices through the greenery, allowing the light to filter through the translucent fruit. Intersperse vintage-style brass bells on thick jute twine, hanging them in small clusters of three at varying heights along the banister. As people walk up and down the stairs, the gentle clinking of the bells and the subtle, warm aroma of dried citrus will create a sensory holiday experience that feels both historic and deeply personal.
