Trend Refresh with Pampas Grass

QUarantine Redecorating

With quarantine, I’ve had a lot more free time, and of course I’ve been using that time to make some styling changes in my home. This pink bedroom was in desperate need of a styling switch up. Over time, the tops of dressers, and really any surface, tend to collect more and more objects and can eventually start looking like a drop zone for anything I can’t find a home for. Here’s how I used pampas grass, one of 2020’s trendiest decor elements, to curate this dresser.

Pompas Fluffing

I ordered one pack of 3 dried pampas grass plumes from PampasPeople on Etsy. After unwrapping the plumes from the packaging, they were slightly flattened and weren’t quite as full as I wanted them to be. So, I set them out for a few days to soak up a bit of sun. But the plumes still weren’t full enough for me. Watch the video below to see how I used a little hairspray to fluff these babies right up!

Perfect Placement

These two vases were already on the dresser but needed a soft, natural element to balance out the high shine and iridescence, so the pampas grass was a perfect fit. Normally, I would have run to the craft store to pick up some floral foam to get the plumes in the perfect position. But, my quarantine hack was balling up a few sheets of tissue paper and using that to create a support for the pampas so they stood up straight.
