How to Style Decorative Display Bowls in Your Living Room

Decorative bowls are one of the easiest ways to enhance the style and elegance of your living room. Whether you're looking for something that adds texture, colour, or a focal point to your space, a well-placed bowl can completely transform a coffee table, sideboard, or shelf. At Ivy Grey Interiors, we have a wide range of decorative display bowls to suit every taste—from rustic ceramics to modern farmhouse designs.

In this blog post, we'll dive into different styles of decorative bowls, how to style them, and how you can use our selection of faux fruits to create eye-catching displays.

Choosing the Right Decorative Bowl for Your Style

When it comes to choosing a bowl, the material and finish play a big part in the overall vibe. Here are some popular styles and how you can incorporate them into your living room décor:

1. Rustic Ceramic Bowls
For those who love a more earthy, natural aesthetic, rustic ceramic bowls are a great choice. Their textured, hand-finished look pairs well with organic materials like wood and linen. Place a rustic bowl on a wooden coffee table, and fill it with our faux figs or acorns for a cosy, autumnal feel. These bowls also work beautifully on a console table or sideboard, where their rough-hewn charm adds warmth to any room. The new distressed nude decorative bowl works wonderfully when you want to add warmth to your home, why not pair with our faux conference pears.

2. Modern Minimalist Bowls
If your home leans more towards clean lines and contemporary design, opt for a sleek, minimalist bowl. Our grey ceramic wave and bobble decorative bowls offers understated elegance and can be styled with bright, faux oranges or lemons to create a fresh, vibrant display. This style works best on glass or metal surfaces, keeping the look uncluttered and polished.

3. Statement Glass Bowls
Glass bowls are perfect if you're looking to create a centrepiece that draws the eye. Our apothecary vase, while often used for flowers, can also be repurposed as a striking display bowl. Fill it with faux fruits such as pears or pomegranates for a sophisticated touch. A glass bowl also pairs beautifully with a marble surface, adding a reflective quality that enhances the overall look.

How to Style Your Decorative Bowl

Once you've chosen your bowl, the next step is to decide how to style it. Here are a few tips to get the look just right:

- Fill with Faux Fruits: Our selection of faux fruits—including figs, pears, and pumpkins—makes it easy to create a display that will last all year long. Use seasonal fruits to switch up the look—faux pumpkins and gourds in autumn, or vibrant faux lemons in spring.

- Mix and Match Sizes: Group bowls of different sizes together for a layered, curated look. For instance, pair a larger bowl filled with faux apples on your coffee table with a smaller bowl of acorns on a nearby shelf.

- Use Bowls as Centrepieces: Place a decorative bowl in the centre of your coffee table or dining table for an instant focal point. Consider adding seasonal foliage or flowers alongside your faux fruit to create a fuller display.

- Go Natural with Textures: If you prefer a more neutral aesthetic, stick to natural textures. Use one of our rustic ceramic bowls and fill it with wooden beads, stones, or even dried flowers to add visual interest without overpowering your existing décor.

Why Faux Fruits are a Must-Have

Faux fruits are perfect for styling your decorative bowls because they are long-lasting, realistic, and don't require any upkeep. At Ivy Grey Interiors, we offer a curated selection of high-quality faux fruits, including:

- Faux figs for a subtle autumn touch.
- Bright faux lemons for a pop of colour.
- Faux pumpkins, perfect for seasonal displays.

These fruits add texture and depth to your display, and unlike real fruit, they won’t spoil. You can easily swap them out seasonally to refresh the look.
