Pampas grass has a fluffy, feathery appearance, and the stems might be bright white, sandy brown or even pale pink. From modern living rooms, charming entryways and boho bedrooms to dining rooms, bathrooms and even a nursery, we've rounded up the best pampas grass decor ideas for every room. Think, tall stems in a living room corner, a fluffy bundle on the coffee table or a dyed bouquet displayed in the foyer.

No matter your home style, artificial or dried pampas grass brings a natural, organic feel to any interior that never seems to go out of style. A further peek at what's ahead: Make a DIY centerpiece for your dining room table, adorn a floating shelf, fill a floor vase or turn dried stems into fall decor, like a festive wreath.

Whether you're feeling crafty or want a pre-arranged bouquet, it's easy to shop for dried florals online. Tip: Amazon has a large selection. As you scroll, you'll find a few of our favorite pampas grass bouquets linked. Keep in mind: While dried pampas can last for years, you can help preserve your stems by keeping them out of direct sunlight or rooms with high humidity. If you're worried, you can always opt for faux stems!

To complement the navy blue walls, interior designer Keyanna Bowen fills this living room with neutral textures — from the layered rugs to the large vase of brown pampas grass. Instead of white stems, Bowen goes for a darker, unexpected look.
