Butterfly Home Decorating Ideas
|
From silk butterflies that hover at your
windows, to butterfly shawls and Japanese parasols,
butterfly decorating is as much fun to create as it is to
experience.
The grace and iridescent colors of butterflies can add
whimsical glamour to your home decor. And without spending a
fortune on new slipcovers or expensive art, butterfly
decorations can give your winter rooms a touch of sunny
summer. So take a moment to discover the flighty ways in
which butterfly decor can add alluring beauty to your home.
#1. Decorate Your Furniture with Butterfly Silk
Shawls
Unlike cotton and wool, silk will capture the iridescent
glamour of real butterflies. Decorating your sofa, love seat
or arm chairs with butterfly silk shawls is easy and will
turn drab winter upholstery into light butterfly decoration.
You can find cheap butterfly shawls online. Look for shawls
with large butterflies and long fringes that can drape over
the back of chairs and sofas, adding beautiful decor to
their plain upholstered backs.
#2. Decorate Side Tables with Silk Butterflies and
Painted Sea Shells
Increase the whimsical beauty of your butterfly decor by
spray painting sea shells in a rainbow of colors. Spray
paint pinks, then gently over-spray a segments with purples,
then silver and blue. In this way you can impart the beauty
of butterfly wings to the sea shell pedestal your butterfly
alights on. Increase the whimsy of this butterfly decoration
by suspending butterflies from bronze candle hooks overhead.
#3. Hang Japanese Butterfly Parasols Upside Down
from Your Ceiling
Add graceful butterfly decorations to any room by hanging
Japanese butterfly parasols from the ceiling, suspended by
their handles and mushrooming above like clouds of colored
wind. Cluster all the handles together to create a giant
ball of butterfly parasols and suspend it from your dining
room ceiling. Or hang a few butterfly parasols in disarray,
as if the wind had just caught them and trapped them in
mid-air.
#4. Decorate Your Window Frames with Silk
Butterflies
Silk butterflies look quite realistic and will decorate a
window to look as if butterflies are hovering between its
curtains. Hang your butterfly decor on fishing wire that
will seem invisible. Your butterfly decorations will move
with the breeze adding to the illusion of live butterflies.
#5. Add Butterfly Decor to Your Household Plants
Alight silk butterflies on indoor plants, tying them in
place with green sewing thread that will not damage the
leaves and stems. For silk plants, adhere the butterflies
with a dab of crazy glue. And for your deck and porch
plants, wrap your butterfly decor in craft wire for extra
hold against rain and wind.
#6. Add Butterfly Decor to Candles
Add silk butterflies to candelabras and iron candle holders,
alighting your butterfly decor atop your candles. Juxtapose
yellow butterfly decorations with purple candles; or
iridescent green butterfly decor with tea light candles
floating in a bowl of green colored water.
#7. Hang Butterfly Wind Chimes Outside Your Bedroom
Window
Wake up to the music of wind chimes by hanging a butterfly
wind chime from the eaves outside your bedroom window. Or
decorate your bathroom with this whimsical butterfly decor,
hanging the butterfly wind chimes just inside the water
stream of your shower, so that running water will play the
chimes for you as you bathe.
#8. Make the Most of Butterfly Wall Decor
Butterfly wall decor comes in a thousand shapes and styles.
Decorate your walls with mounted silk butterflies, or
butterfly prints on silk and rattan. Frame the pages of old
butterfly calendars to create your own, affordable butterfly
wall decor. And glue silks and velvets into a collage of
butterflies against rice paper, then mount your creation in
a wooden, glass-less frame.
