Beautiful Winter Bowl Fillers and Ideas
A fun way to decorate after the holidays is making winter bowl fillers. Wintertime is the perfect time to give your decor a fresh look, and what better way than to create a bowl filler arrangement? If you live in a climate that gets especially cold and dreary during winter, creating decorative winter bowl filler displays can be uplifting. This happens to be the case where I live, so this is an easy way to cheer up my winter space.
After Christmas Winter Bowl Fillers to brighten up your home
I start thinking about winter bowl filler ideas while packing up the holidays. This is because many holiday ornaments and decorations can work well in a winter bowl or vase filler arrangement. Ornaments such as decorative snowflakes, dried fruits, flowers, or stars work well in a winter bowl filler, as small ornaments turned upside down can be used as orbs in a bowl.
Thinking outside the bowl is another way to come up with winter bowl filler ideas that reflect the season. Here, I used two small orange carnival glass bowls with orbs, a winter branch and wooden deer in the background of the display.

Outdoor nature winter bowl filler ideas
If you want inexpensive and eco-friendly bowl fillers, think about what you can use from the outdoors. Sprigs of evergreens, bare branches, acorns, and pinecones are ideal for adding a rustic winter feel to your bowl filler decor. By using natural items from the outdoors, you can infuse your winter bowl filler display with the organic essence of the winter season.
Here are some items from nature that you can easily find outdoors for rustic winter bowl fillers.
Gathering a touch of the outdoors for your bowl arrangements is an easy way to come up with authentic winter bowl filler ideas that reflect the season. Using outdoor foliage, rocks, or branches from your yard or local nature trails adds a natural and rustic appeal to your winter bowl fillers. Bringing nature into home decor is an effortless way to create warmth with the organic textures and colors of a cozy winter.

But when it comes to selecting a container, think outside the bowl and consider what else might work for your winter bowl filler display. Here are some items to consider:
- Decorative water pitchers
- Pedestal bowls
- trays with shallow sides
- Serving bowls
- Decorative boxes
- A wooden dough bowl
- A basket or tobacco tray
