Bowl Over Guests with Unique Accents

They say it’s what’s inside that counts, but an exquisite decorative bowl strikes a beautiful exception. Equally lovely displayed empty or full, this versatile home accent serves as a refreshing alternative. Decorative bowls provide an easy, risk-free way to add a splash of color to any space. Many hand-painted glass or ceramic bowls combine several different shades for an eclectic effect. Texture is an important characteristic, too—with bowls made from glass, wicker, ceramic, and stone, the materials can impact the reflection of light and complement the other design elements in the room. Perhaps most impactful is the shape of a decorative bowl. A sharp-angled square or rectangular bowl is fitting for modern spaces, while a round or oval bowl adds softness and fluidity. While an empty decorative bowl is striking on its own, it’s fun to experiment with adding marbles, colored rocks, fruit, potpourri, dried flowers, floating candles, and any other fillers that strike your fancy.

This hand-blown decorative glass bowl is a swirl of color in amber, purple and red.

Random Fact: Glassblowing is a technique used to inflate molten glass into a bubble aided by blowpipe or blow tube. This technique was discovered by the Phoenicians around 50 BC. The earliest artifacts of glassblowing were found in Jerusalem and date from as early as 4 BC. Now that’s old!
