4 Unique Additions for Your Home Décor

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Finding ways to make your home look more attractive can be tricky, especially if you want your own home to stand out from the rest of the Joneses in the neighborhood.

If you want to spruce up your home décor in a unique and interesting way, then you will definitely want to consider some of these more distinct pieces to really bring your home to life:

Indoor Fountains

The sound of flowing water has always been a quick way to soothe people, but not everyone has the luxury of living near a body of water. There is one problem: traditional fountains are costly to install and maintain. This has given them a rather unique reputation of being luxurious and extravagant.

More recent fountains, however, are smaller, come pre-assembled and require very little maintenance. These types of indoor fountains make for a very attractive addition to any home, especially since they come in a variety of unique designs – from sleek, spherical and space age ones to earthy, solid and tribal ones.

Tiffany Windows

Churches and cathedrals traditionally use stained glass windows to great effect. Not only are the designs themselves hauntingly beautiful, but the way light passes through and plays around in the building makes for a mesmerizing scene indeed.

This same effect is achieved by installing tiffany windows around your home, which can be hung the same way as paintings. Put them in front of a light or a window and the beauty of their designs will be made even clearer to all who see them.

Ceiling Medallions

Too many homeowners focus on filling up space and plastering walls with décor that they fail to notice a whole lot of room in their homes: the ceiling. You can easily eat this space up by placing a few lights or accents, but one of the more interesting ways that you can use this space is to install a ceiling medallion.

Ceiling medallions are unique in that they wrap around a focal point on the ceiling. This allows a medallion to bring a person’s attention to that focal point, which is often a light attached to or hanging from the ceiling. Simply match the design of a medallion to the theme of a room and you will effectively integrate the ceiling to the rest of the room’s décor.

Pedestals

Excellent tabletop décor needs excellent tables for you to put them on. If you don’t have those tables, then the next best thing is a dedicated pedestal for highlighting your more precious pieces of art.

There are, however, some pedestals that are designed as art pieces in and of themselves. Everything from slick black monoliths to deceptively shaky but structurally secure designs is fair game for pedestals. There are even pedestals that serve the same functions as stand-alone art pieces.

Just remember these four unique but tasteful pieces if you are on the lookout for new additions to your home’s décor. They can definitely make your guests and visitors go “Wow!” once they see how your distinct tastes have such a powerful impact on your home!
