Guys… there is nothing that brings instant life and beauty into a space quite like an olive tree. It’s one of those pieces that feels timeless, calming, and quietly powerful all at once. And the best part? This is way easier to pull off than it looks.
Let me walk you through how I style mine.
It all starts with a great vessel. This planter is stunning, and I’ll link everything for you, but the real magic happens inside. To get the height just right, I drop paint cans into the bottom of the planter. It instantly lifts the tree so the proportions feel intentional and elevated.
The faux olive tree itself is from Amazon, it’s under $100, and it could not be easier to assemble. Once the trunk is in place, I fill the planter with whatever I have on hand—paper bags, plastic, packing paper—so it stays lightweight and easy to move. Functional and smart? Always a win.
Before adding moss, take a minute to fluff the branches. Direction matters. You want it to feel alive and natural AND make sure it’s facing the right direction.
Then comes the finishing touch: moss. This stuff is amazing, inexpensive, and one box is plenty. Just lay it in and cover everything underneath.
And that’s it.
In minutes, you’ve created a moment that transforms the entire corner. Powerful. Simple. Beautiful. I’ve done this with larger trees, smaller ones, even real trees—the method works every time.
