Decorating with consoles

Yesterday I received a link to the beautiful and inspiring blog of Richard Thompson. I loved his decorating style and the creative ideas. When I looked at the pictures I recognised a mirror that I had used (or a similar one) for a kitchen design. Mine came from Ikea just like the lamp and the consoles. They have a design charisma but a friendly price :)When you don't have a lot of space but you do want to make arrangements then a railing made of consoles is a good alternative. You can display all sorts of accessories on them without loosing too much space. The best effect you get when you extend the consoles throughout the wall in one straight line. This way you bring balance and serenity into a room.Here I have made an arrangement with some old poetry books, candles and dried flowers. These consoles are an excellent base for little collections like (Buddha;) sculptures and pictures in different sizes. Because of their size you can use the shelves throughout the house. For example above your bed, in the hallway or toilet with frames and scented candles :) I love little corners where I can surround myself with objects filled with memories and love. Sometimes you suddenly have the need to change your interior but you don't have the budget or the time for it. On consoles you can arrange small bowls with colourful flowers on a row. Combine them with inspiring art prints and beautiful fabrics framed in the same colour palette. Or display the treasures you have found in the woods or at the beach. Those objects that crossed your path during a long walk will fill your room with a warm energy. And they cost nothing only patience and a loving eye to discover them :))
