Nature-Inspired Art For The Home With An Acorn Theme
The grand oak grows from the very small 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.
Breathtaking Lighting Fixtures
Acorn-themed light fixtures feature a natural palette accented with acorn shapes and often oak leaves as well. Overhead fixtures for the entry as well as chandeliers for the dining room or kitchen, wall sconces, table and floor lamps are wonderful accents in a traditional setting, Craftsmen style, country, rustic, cottage or eclectic interiors. Due to their neutral color palette, they will easily tie in with other colors and will likewise add depth and texture by their very nature. 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.
Acorn Accessories for Every Room
You can invariably add a rich touch of nature to bookshelves with rustic book ends and shelf brackets. Tuck them in to highlight favorite collections 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. When blended with botanical themes and topiary, acorn-themed accessories are quite stunning.
Curtain Rods and Tie-Backs are an elegant way to add a decorative grace note to window treatments. Regardless of whether the influence is farmhouse, cottage, rustic, Mission, or American Colonial, curtain rods and metal tie backs with acorn finals provide a finishing touch for curtains and drapes in your living space.
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 accents and accessories that you will find in retail stores or online that can allow you to bring acorn accents into your home.
Accents for Your Kitchen
Add acorn-inspired decor to the kitchen with wall coverings, curtains, paper toweling holders, napkin holders, metal wall sconce, 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. Grace your counters or table with artificial or natural acorns and pine cones gathered in baskets and vintage bowls.
How to Prep Natural Acorns for Use in the 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. Use them as table top accents wherever you please. Simply wipe them off, let dry and arrange on newspaper. Spray a light layer of aerosol sealer over them; allow them to dry thoroughly, and then spray them again.
