I don’t generally buy accessories like that at HL, but it was a cheap means to an end at that time. So within a month or so of being in this house, I stuck a collection of fluer-de-lis and other random metal stuff up there that I got for 70% off at Hobby Lobby. It’s too large of a space to just ignore, but too high to reach without an extension ladder…and I’m terrified to climb down once I’m up there. It’s 5 ft wide, 5 ft deep, 7 ft tall and a pain in my rear to decorate. The very existence of the giant ledge above my front door wears me out. Y’all, I can say that because we I one of these homes. I swear that builders are doing this to try to add character to a character-less home. Most newer homes that I go into these days have these sort of ledges over the front door and random art niches in odd places. One of those “random crap” spaces is the architectural ledge above my front door. One day, I guess it may all be finished, but that will just mean it’s time to start the whole process over again. I take a section at a time and do what I love and what I can afford. Yes, my house is just like most of yours. If you visit me, you will find 1) the rooms I have “finished” decorating 2) the rooms I’m in the process of decorating 3) and the rooms that still look like I just threw some random crap in there so they wouldn’t be empty. Remember that you don’t have to fill the entire shelf, and that leaving some negative space will give the impression that your home is airy and uncluttered without being too sparse.The rooms in my house are in three different stages. You can also use small bunches of preserved flowers or small plants like succulents or cacti, on their own or interspersed with a small framed print or two, to decorate a small shelf. To decorate small shelves, opt for lightweight, transparent objects like glassware and those with metallic finishes that will reflect light and won’t visually weigh down a smaller surface. What can I use to decorate small shelves? To style disparate objects, aim to create a balance between different shapes, materials, and heights, creating a conversation between your motley collection that adds personality to your home and will spark a conversation when guests drop by. Effortless cool shelves feature collections that look improvised and spontaneous, collected over time rather than calculated.
The easiest way to make a shelf look cool is to style it within an inch of its life while giving the impression that you made zero effort. To avoid stacking shelves with meaningless clutter, aim to display objects that you find both useful and beautiful. From the kitchen to the bathroom to the laundry room, home bar, or any other room in the house, shelves can be used to store items that are useful to have visible and accessible, or those that you simply enjoy seeing as you spend time at home. You can decorate your shelves with small objects from keepsakes to toys to everyday items. What should you put on shelves for decoration? The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.
