When it comes to changing up my seasonal decor, one of my favorite things to do is bring in some foliage from outside. However, real foliage doesn’t last forever, and there’s always the risk of bringing in bugs. That’s why I always keep some faux stems on hand that I know will never die and can be used year after year. After doing some research, I’ve found the best faux stems for fall that I’m excited to share with you!
For me, the most important factor when choosing faux stems is that they look realistic. There’s nothing worse than using a stem that looks obviously fake. I look for stems that have organic colors and textures that mimic real foliage.
FALL BROWN ARTIFICIAL MAGNOLIA LEAF BRANCH FROM AFLORAL
The Magnolia Leaf Branches from Afloral caught my eye because of the size and color of the leaves. They are a beautiful brown with a hint of gold that adds a subtle shimmer. Despite my initial reservations about the shimmer, it actually adds dimension when grouped together.
I tried these stems in various rooms and they looked amazing everywhere. Ultimately, they found a place in our kitchen after blocking the TV in the living room!
Number of stems used: 3
OAK LEAF SPRAYS FROM WAYFAIR
The Oak Leaf Sprays from Wayfair exceeded my expectations with their realistic appearance. Each stem comes in a pair with leaves of different colors, mimicking the natural variation seen in oak leaves.
I love how the shape and color of the Oak Leaf Sprays resemble real oak leaves, providing a natural and neutral look in our dining room.

Hobby Lobby is my go-to for faux stems, and the Ammi Majus Bush stems I found online did not disappoint. The beautiful burgundy color and unique flower shape immediately caught my eye.
