How to Decorate With Green Cane Sticks

Bind a group of green bamboo canes to decorate your home.

Add a touch of nature to your home decor with green bamboo cane sticks, or simply add interest with green canes or sticks. Dried bamboo sticks can add color and interest to any room, while serving as a simple accessory in minimalist or contemporary decor. Use the natural greenery of live bamboo, or paint dried bamboo green to complement a green color scheme. Incorporate the cane sticks into your decor in a way that complements your style.

Things You'll Need

• Ribbon or string
• Vase or pot
• Nails
• Hammer
• Brackets

Instructions

1. Bind a group of green cane sticks together with ribbon or string. Spread them out at the base so they are also spread out on top instead of being in a straight and boring bunch. Put the green cane sticks in a large floor vase or pot in a contrasting color. For example, a shiny black vase will stand out against the green canes and complement sleek, modern decor.

2. Create a frame around a mirror or around wrought iron wall sculptures, or let the green makeshift frame serve as the only wall decor against a light, neutral wall, such as cream or tan. Use thin nails and a hammer to hold the green sticks in place.

3. Attach the green cane sticks to a wall on brackets, or lay them on top of a shelf or ledge. A small group of green bamboo sticks can be bundled or stacked next to a clear vase full of river rocks or a table water fountain to complement nature-inspired decor. Alternatively, a single cane or small group of canes can act as a rod to hang curtains or shower curtains.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid using too many green bamboo sticks, or you'll cancel out the simple, natural effect of just a few.
