Different ways to style your dough bowl throughout the year.
Today I’m sharing a look at some of the bowls that I’ve styled throughout the last year. Let’s get started!
For the holidays, style your round dough bowl or a white dough bowl simply by adding greenery and candles.
Wintery Wonderland
When decorating for winter, opt for soft colors such as ivory, cream, silver, or gold. Fill your dough bowl with white or silver accents and natural elements such as pine cones and evergreen branches are another option.
You can also find faux snowballs at most craft stores that will add an extra layer of texture without leaving behind any mess when they melt!
Add some white candles or fairy lights around the edges of the bowl for a subtle touch of sparkle.
On my dining room table, I opted for using it as a serving dish!
Filling my dough bowl with colorful berries and silver pieces is my favorite way to add a bit of style to my bowl. I love the sparkle of the silver with the elements of greenery.
A mix of textures is always a great addition to any table setting.
To style my bowl on my console table, I used green Christmas ornaments with gold trees behind them.
Placing your rustic dough bowl alongside the gold trees gives the table a warm feeling.
Spring dough bowl
When spring comes around, it’s time to pull out all the stops! Create a bright and cheerful display using brightly colored fresh flowers such as tulips or daisies or delicate roses.
Place them inside the bowl along with a variety of tea cups and candy. You can even add some colorful ribbons or other decorative items that match your springtime theme!
Finally, use candle holders tied with ribbon or try mason jars filled with small stones and tea lights to finish off the look.
Need a simple solution for Easter. Fill your bowl with colorful easter eggs or layer a napkin then add marshmallow chicks.
Summer Soiree
Let summer come alive in your home by creating a bright display inside your wooden dough bowl!
Start by adding different things such as dried wheat stalks, which give off more of a rustic vibe when compared to traditional dried flowers.
Fall Dough Bowl
Use dough bowls as a way to create a cozy autumn atmosphere in your home.
Place dough bowls filled with potpourri, mini-pumpkins, gourds, artificial fall leaves, or other seasonal goodies in various spaces of your house to add a unique touch. Bowls can be set out on tables or counters while still looking great, and they work well as centerpieces alongside festive candles and delicious treats like apples, pears, and cinnamon rolls.
