Greenery and flowers instantly freshen a bland room—but you don’t have to spend a fortune at the garden center to benefit from nature's bounty. Instead, take a walk in the woods and gather some sculptural branches to fill an empty corner and provide a focal point for a living room or guest room. You can even collect stems of berries or blossoms to arrange in a large vase on the dining table. Be sure to check your finds thoroughly for insects before bringing them inside.
