Obsessing over Pedestals

April 24, 2013


 

Many of the living room images I have been pinning (follow me on pinterest here) have pedestals.  The look especially fab in living rooms with high ceilings where they add height. Not to mention they add sophistication and a sense of layers.  I love the image above where they add some tall indoor palms to dress up the room.  Easy and efficient.

Of course, they look fabulous with busts and other sculptures as well-






I am especially dreaming of some mirrored ones, kind of like these.  They would look beautiful flanking a sofa.  Seen any lately?  What do you think? your cup of tea?

Also, I'm over at Live, Laugh, Decorate with a post on ideas for anniversary gifts from your loved one.  See here.

    WOW! I had never really thought much about these but they are amazing. They really elevate the sophistication value of the item placed on top...Just realized that I made an inadvertent pun there! Lol. Thanks for sharing. I love that fourth picture!

    I worked for a designer a few years ago that used pedestals in almost every room - plants, sculpture, and on one she had a mini-easel with a small framed print - so gorgeous! I agree with you about the height of them for rooms with the high/vaulted ceilings, definitely helps lift the room.

    Pedestals are my best friend. They are the perfect thing to add to a lonely corner to create some instant eye candy.

    My mom had a bunch of pedestals in our home growing up. I personally love them for outdoor decor. But seeing that second picture makes me want to buy a couple and put them in my living room!

    We had two made for our wedding ceremony. Dad lacquered them up in white and I always intended to use them in the home we would buy "someday". They are sitting in storage and I had nearly forgotten about them! Thanks for the reminder!
