PLEASE! Need decorating tips!?
Question:Decorating ideas for the top of a cabinet?
I have a really pretty entertainment cabinet in my Family Room. Currently, I have 1 large pillar and 2 smaller candles on pillar holders. I also have 4 tealights. I used to have pictures towards the back. I am looking for decorating ideas to mix it up. I have had essentially the same decoration for the past few years. I get most creative around the holidays and am also looking for ideas for that time. Last year, I decided to treat it like a mantle, and hung stockings on the side of the cabinet. I also tried to weave a Christmas type of garland around the candles but just couldn't get it right. I could really use some ideas for everyday decorating and also for the holidays.
Answers:
Depending on how much room you have between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling you could add a decorative birdcage, a decorative box (check out Pier 1), or an architectural element (Ballard Designs, JC Penney). I wouldn't do too much because then it starts to look cluttered and become the focus of attention, when it really shouldn't - it should just enhance the piece and the room in general.
spread teh candes out unevenly and go for a more miminilist look, put the pictures around the room on the walls and on a other units
