Sometimes when I'm decorating my home, I'm frustrated my the "smallness" of my items. Small items seem to get lost on a table or shelf. They also tend to seem to add to the visual clutter I see. To remedy this problem, I combine items to make more of a statement.
Below is an arrangement on my sideboard. I've changed the items under the globe several times in the past few months, but the basic design is the same. I used a metal pedestal from the thrift store, a cheese plate dome from the thrift store, an antique plate, some salt, a ceramic bird and a Christmas ornament together. To the side is a silver votive holder.
Each of these items is not especially beautiful by themselves, but together, they make a nice display.
On the other side of the room, near the bay window, is a cute little table that I move around a lot. Because it it is small, I like to stack things on it to elevate it's height.
I've added a stack of books and a pedestal with mesh dome that found at Home Goods. A small bird's nest sits nearby and adds a bit of softness.
These are just a few examples of ways to combine decor to make it seem bigger than it really is. If you have items scattered around your home, try combining them to make a bigger statement. It helps to visually unclutter your home when you do this.
So sweet! Love the way you've made the "small" more noticeable! You are very creative!
ReplyDeleteI think this idea is great! Although I'll admit that sometimes I forget to do this only with a few small items and I tend to over do it. It's definitely part of my challenge!
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing so many unique ideas using cheese plate domes - I'm going to start keeping my eyes peeled for one!
