Decorating With Bowls for High Style

The recipe for fabulous home decor is one fab decorative bowl + some fantastic bowl filler = high style! A shallow bowl look great filled with something interesting and shells are endlessly fascinating; fill a bowl with small shells. For extra interest pair with a glass vase filled with the same assortment of shells and some sand vase filler. Shells donâEUR(TM)t have to be gathered on a beach, others will do that for you just by them by the bag and enjoy.

 Capiz shell bowls are very popular and fun to fill with all kinds of wonderful things like colorful shells, sand dollars or small star fish vase filler. Exotic bowls such as animal prints or themes or Moroccan patterned bowls deserve some exotic fill like faux figs and faux pomegranates.

 TodayâEUR(TM)s faux fruit are nothing like the wax fruit of your grandmotherâEUR(TM)s day; these are so lifelike you almost have to taste them to know they arenâEUR(TM)t real! Fill Italian Renaissance style bowls with delicious looking apples, luscious peaches and berries that will never go bad. You can change your fill with the seasons.

When you use small filler such as pebbles scatter a hand full around the bowl for a very nice touch. Bowls are a fast easy way to decorate a small table, coffee table, fireplace mantel, shelf, sideboard or hutch. Alone or paired with a vase or temple jar you canâEUR(TM)t go wrong. One great way to enjoy your favorite decorative bowls is to illuminate them.

Place a jar candle or a votive candle in a glass holder in a deep bowl to create a gentle glow emanating from the bowl or a pillar candle on a glass holder in a very shallow bowl. You can also use filler, such as beads of various sizes with the candles. Group a small, a medium and a large bowl together on a coffee table or sofa table. Or group a few bowls with a tall vase.

Vary the shapes of bowls and vases in a grouping to create interestâEUR"round, flat, tall, etc. Group color combinations such as a few bowls of different sizes and a vase in coordinating colorsâEUR"gold, burnt orange and brown for instance. Pretty bowls can give style and beauty to any room in your house. Place a lovely bowl on your dresser between two pretty lamps, fill a small bowl with decorative scented bath soaps in your bathroom, powder room or guest bath. Use your room style, theme, or your collections to come up with creative ways to showcase your bowls and unique uses for them.
