Nature Inspired Decor: The Charming Acorn
The mighty oak grows from the tiny acorn. These charmingly beautiful works of nature are becoming quite popular when blended with other nature-inspired decor, like metal wall art. For anyone who loves to incorporate the grace of nature’s gifts into their interiors, you’ll find many applications for acorn themed decor – and even a few for using real acorns accents.
Stunning Lighting Fixtures
The acorn-themed light fixture features a natural palette that is accentuated with acorn shapes and oftentimes with oak leaves. Fitting accents in a traditional, eclectic, country, or Craftsman decor setting include overhead fixtures for the entry or foyer as well as chandeliers for the kitchen or dining room, wall sconces, and floor and table lamps. Because of their neutral palette they will easily tie in with other colors and they add texture and depth by the very nature of their design. You will find lighting fixtures featuring acorn themes in wrought iron and other metals as well as natural wood to suit your personal decorating preference.
Perfect Acorn-Themed Accessories for Every Room in Your Home
Rustic Shelf Brackets and Book Ends add richness with a touch of nature to bookshelves. Tuck them in to showcase a favorite collection of leather bound books. Whether you choose natural, rubbed or gilt finishes, these charming accents will bring a new dimension to the shelves of your library, office, living room or bedroom. Acorn theme accessories look wonderful when combined with topiary and botanical themes.
Curtain Rods and Tie-Backs are an elegant way to add a decorative grace note to window treatments. Curtain rods and metal tie backs acorn finials provide the finishing touch on curtains or draperies in any traditional living space, whether the influence is American Colonial, country, farmhouse, cottage, rustic or Mission style.
Accent with candle holders, candle lanterns, accent pillows, throws, wall shelves, picture and mirror frames, trays, platters, tiered serving dishes and cake stands, serving utensils, as well as fabric upholstery, drapes and curtain panels. These are just a few of the decor accessories and accents that you will find in retail stores or online that can allow you to bring acorn accents into your home.
Kitchen Accents
Add acorn-inspired decor to the kitchen with wall coverings, curtains, paper toweling holders, napkin holders, metal wall hangings, metal art wall decor, wrought iron wall and ceiling hooks, wall sconces, dishtowels, coffee cup metal wall art, hot pads and trivets, curtains, canisters, counter lamps, wall art, dinnerware and glassware. You’ll find that you’ll be able to easily incorporate acorn themes in any kitchen that has country or traditional leanings, as well as rustic and cabin themes. Pine cones and natural acorns can be positioned in baskets and vintage bowls and set upon the counter or table.
Preparing Natural Acorns for Use in Your Home
Natural acorns collected from a walk through the woods can be used to fill baskets, bowls and surround candles in glass cylinders or hurricanes. Put them to use as table top accents all throughout your home. Just wipe them off, let them dry and then arrange them on newspaper. Spray a thin coating of aerosol sealer over them; let them to dry thoroughly, and then spray them once more.
