A "Wild" Idea To Make a Bold Decorating Statement
Ready to be a little wild in your
decorating?
The secret to good decorating is to be bold and creative without
ever being tasteless. Here’s an idea which is unique enough to get
attention, yet will never be out of place.
Instead of just flowers in a silk arrangement, use feathers!
Feathers bring an added bit of texture and life to the standard silk
flower display. Pheasant and peacock feathers will add height and
drama. Bright colored feathers will make your display eye-catching
and unique. To add softness to a bouquet, try ostrich plumes..
You may want to leave the flowers out and make your arrangement
entirely out of feathers. An interesting container can serve as a
wonderful starting point. Search for one with an animal skin motif.
Duck feathers in a leather container will add a manly feel to any
office or game room. Short feathers at the base, with spikes of
pheasant plumes, create an attention drawing piece for a buffet or
hall table.
Exotic feathers can add spice to a bedroom. Put them out with
candles for a special night, and create a very romantic mood. You
might even try a boa for yourself!
Look outdoors for feathers of local birds from your area. You can
use these to make a statement about your love of where you’ve chosen
to live. Take a walk in a nearby wooded park and soon you’ll have a
collection from local birds. Typically these are small feathers, yet
they’ll say "home" in a cute display on an end table.
Search the floral section of your favorite craft store for
interesting natural items such as moss, twigs and dried seeds to add
to your design. A skilled florist will help you change these
elements into a stunning display for your home.
Don’t be afraid to experiment. You’re sure to draw interesting
comments and with reasonable consideration, you’ll add a stimulating
look to any room.
