TONS of Bird Nest Decorating Ideas
I love to find a nest. A fallen nest, empty wasp nest, you name it, I adore them. So much hard work goes into each one and they are perfectly and intricately made. I wish I could have you over for coffee and walk you around to all the sweet little nests I have tucked around our home. Until then you can walk with me through these gorgeous ideas that will show you how to incorporate a nest into your decor. Some are natural bird nests and others are DIY bird nests, either way, they are fabulous. I’d love to hear if you have ideas other than the ones shown here!

Thanks Kim i love all these ideas. I love watching the birds build nests and play they sure can make you forget about all your worries. For such little creatures they sure work hard. Have a great day.
Kim at Hunt and Host says
They really are amazing – such great homemakers!
Melinda says
Love the nests!! I have a question though….do you disinfect them for bugs and such,before bringing them into your home? Just wondering; and if so how do you do it? Love all the vignettes.
Kim at Hunt and Host says
I don’t do anything, probably should, but I rarely worry about bugs. You could probably dust them with some bug spray and leave them outside a day or tow and let them dry out, but I do zero!!!
Carrie says
Thanks Hon 🙂
Kim at Hunt and Host says
🙂 glad you like them!
Holly Thompson says
All the bird nest ideas are terrific! We have 3 side by side 48″ windows facing our backyard. We watch the birds there constantly! We are in Lake County in nothern Calif where 3 major wildfires devastated us 3 autumns in a row. We are grateful to be 1 of the few homes that did not burn. The good Lord has allowed us to be a sanctuary to the surviving wildlife. We should all give homage to our birds even if we can only decorate our homes as you have shown us. Thank you!
Kim at Hunt and Host says
So thankful you are safe and I bet you do have a fantastic show with all those animals needing a place to go! They are fascinating to watch!
