If you are looking to liven up your home, then why not get some unique ornaments to add in some personality? Here are five unique ornaments to liven up your home…
Decorating a home should be less about IKEA and more about expressing your personality and interests. This is hard to do in general forms of design, but we’ve come up with a few unique ornaments to help inspire some more ambitious personalisation in the home!
Popcorn cart
If you’re into your movies and enjoy retro ornaments, then a popcorn cart can be a fabulous way to bring childhood joy – and a bit of class – to your home. With the two large vintage wheels and a storage compartment, the popcorn cart is designed to store a popcorn maker. This is ideal for those that love popcorn and perhaps have an admiration for cinema, as it can bring a unique atmosphere of authenticity.
Some popcorn makers go a step further with a commercial-style machine to collect the popcorn in an arcade fashion, along with a remote control for RGB lighting.
Dinosaur skull decor
For those interested in paleontology – or who have a child that’s interested in Jurassic Park – T-Red skull replicas among others can be purchased with stunning realism. This is a great ornament to display in a home to express your interest in dinosaurs, and it can be a popular attraction that garners a lot of interest. Replicas have become very good at designing textures so they appear both lifelike as well as for show.
If you wanted to go a step further, you could create a full-size replica. Now, this is a bit hard to do with a dinosaur, but we have seen it done with Predator statues and other characters. In fact, you can even get very modern, abstract versions exist that are minimally constructed from rusty steel. Of course, this is something you want in your front garden to scare off any unwanted visitors!
Native American ornaments
Native American ornaments have a quality about them that attracts people who never even thought they were interested in Native American culture. The signature colours and feathers are versatile enough to create great ornaments in many different forms – from dreamcatchers to Christmas decor. These look great in a victorian home and should be done with a little research and education in mind in order to avoid cultural appropriation, and can actually be used to educate guests on the incredible cultures and history of Native Americans.
Handcrafted ceramic fruit
Yes, we did say unique! Italy is often home to very beautiful ceramic handcrafting, such as piercing turquoise apple. This fruit can be placed on a dinner table as a centerpiece, reflecting light off it in a hypnotic way. The ceramic texture gives it this deep colour and shine, but the design usually employs textures to give it another dynamic. It’s quite the addiction to acquiring different ones and building a colourful collection.
Vintage typewriter
Another one for the retro lovers – a vintage typewriter can add an incredible style to a home. Whether you intend to use it or not, it can bring a feeling of nostalgia and class as it lays on your desk, piano, or countertop. If you spend a little more on one that worse, you can actually use it to create more ornaments – printing off your favourite quotes in a classic typewriter font can be easily framed and hung on a wall. Furthermore, this means you have an endless stream of free gifts to give to people!
