Vignettes are like eye candy to your home interior designs. Special groupings of interesting items arranged in an eclectic mixed style, a simple small, but sweet manner, vintage charm using antique items, delicate romantic placements, displays that match color schemes, country or farmhouse scenes, clever industrial theme items, religious observance, or whatever you love to have near, to add a special aura to a room, to excite and amaze your guests, or to add to your design theme for that room or special area. The choice is yours!  If you have a family, then share your ideas with them. For family harmony, consider adding some décor items that they like in your vignette arrangements.

You can arrange one or more vignettes in your home. First, you must decide whether to place your décor items into a holder or on top of something. You may choose assorted metal, ceramic or wooden box trays, low woven baskets, decorative or utilitarian boards or cigar boxes. All shapes can be used. Experiment with different décor items you have around your home, in deciding how you want your vignette to look. Some suggestions I offer would be: tall vases filled with branches are twigs (real or faux), little jewelry boxes opened with strings of pearls flowing out, an old small or medium toy that your children played with (like an old baseball), pinecones, some decorative woven grapevine or other ornate balls, a pot of succulents (real or faux), flowers or plants in pots, candles (any type), a short stack of favorite books with a decorative item resting on top, like a little angel figurine, etc., an old watering can, pitcher with real or faux tall heather,  or daisies and sunflowers, inside, dolls, a pair of gloves that match your vignette theme, ornate paper weights, little figurines like birds, frogs, dogs, cats, etc., antique clocks, and teapots (old or new). The list goes on and on.

Place vignettes on coffee tables, bookshelves, foyer tables, buffet cabinets, fireplace mantles or hearths, kitchen tables, dining tables, bathroom cabinets, bedroom vanities, outdoor patio tables or wherever you have space to decorate. You will know if you like a certain arrangement by moving your items around and trying different positions.

You can have different levels of height to add interest, or have a color theme that harmonizes or vary the colored items with neutrals. Have fun with creating pleasing and artful vignettes that you, your family, and friends can enjoy. The vignettes should reflect your own personal tastes. Happy decorating!
