Quirky is in
Eclectic is the style of the moment. Embrace this highly personalized design movement by bringing a few family treasures out of the attic. Thoughtfully select one or two pieces, rather than an entire curio cabinet. When combined at once, these collectibles can read as clutter, but a prized piece integrated into your existing decor will come off as charming.
Recycled style
Display a collection of bottles, vessels, and vases in a similar color for an eye-catching appeal. Instead of sending glass bottles straight to the recycling bin, check to see if they have an interesting shape or color. Clean them out and save them until you have enough to create a pretty ensemble for a centerpiece or mantelscape.
Poster display
Skip the frame and use a wooden pants hanger to display a poster instead. This technique works well with smaller posters, just slightly wider than the hanger itself. Wider posters may flop over at the corners.
Blanketed bench
Fold a colorful blanket and use it as a bench seat cushion. Use belts to hold the blanket in place.
