The Many Ways I Styled an Antique Dough Bowl
6 Ways that I Styled an Antique Dough Bowl
I think a beautiful dough bowl is the perfect decor vessel. I have a giant dough bowl that sits on my western rustic sofa/console table. It’s versatile for everyday decor and perfect for seasonal decorating. I have discovered some great options that are not only easy but can be used again and again.
A Few Ways to Style a Dough Bowl
Today I’m sharing a few ways that I have styled my “small canoe” as it has often been referred to. It measures in at a 46″ long, so it has a bit of a presence about it. A favorite statement piece for sure.
During the past winter months and at Christmas I have styled it with some very large pinecones.
Maybe this year I will venture out of my comfort zone and fill it with tons of red ornaments of all different shapes and sizes.
Some Other Dough Bowl Inspiration
I recently stacked a bunch of books of mostly all in the colors of black and gray and paying close attention to the color of the titles.
With no bookcase to stack my books, no problem! I just used my dough bowl for a touch of interest—simple and clean. And who says dried flowers aren’t pretty? I think these dried pink roses resting on top of my books add a rustic and refined charm. Perfect for me.
Additional Interest
To add a bit more charm and texture, a small found deer antler was included for extra interest.
How about styled for spring?
Candles and greenery.
Simple, 5-minute styling using all white candles and some greenery. Some faux eucalyptus branches and a few live (unknown) stems. Using what I had on hand.
Using more faux branches, these pink blooms look pretty flanking a row of white candles.
This is such a fresh and bright way to welcome spring, and it can look beautiful for weeks on end.
