Nature Inspired Decor: The Charming Acorn
The mighty oak grows from the very small acorn. These charmingly beautiful works of nature are becoming quite popular when combined with other nature-inspired decor, such as 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 accented with acorn shapes and many times with oak leaves. Wonderful accents in a traditional, country, cottage, eclectic, or Craftsman decor setting include overhead fixtures for the foyer or entry as well as chandeliers for the kitchen or dining room, wall sconces, and table and floor lamps. Because of their neutral palette, they will easily tie in with other colors and will likewise add texture and depth by their very nature. You will also discover lighting fixtures that feature an acorn theme in wrought iron and other metals as well as natural wood that will be suited to your personal decorating tastes.
Acorn Accessories for Every Room
You can always add a robust touch of nature to bookshelves with rustic book ends and shelf brackets. 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 decorative accessories that you can find from retail stores or online sources for bringing acorn accents into any room.
Accents for Your Kitchen
Add acorn-inspired decor to the kitchen with wall coverings, curtains, paper toweling holders, napkin holders, metal wall mirrors, 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 placed in baskets and vintage bowls and set upon the counter or table.
How to Prep Natural Acorns for Use in the Home
Fill bowls and baskets with natural acorns that you collect from a walk through the forest, or surround candles with acorns in glass cylinders or hurricanes. Use them as table top accents wherever you please. Simply wipe them off, let dry and arrange on newspaper. Spray a light layer aerosol sealer over them; let them dry, flip them over, and spray again.
