How Decorative Wall Crosses Can Improve The Decor Of Any Home

By Tammie Caldwell


Personality plays a big role when one decorates their home. The proper way to achieve the right style is to look within oneself and reflect their personality in the elements and furniture they choose. This will make their home much more comfortable and welcoming to them. Below, learn how to include decorative wall crosses to improve the decor of the home.

While these are synonymous with the Christian faith, they can simply be used as a decorative element by anyone, regardless of their faith. This would be about bringing in trendy decor just for style. Choosing a sizable piece can make it the focal point of a room. If anyone knows anything about interior design, they know that a focal point is vital in a space. It is the major point of interest that is meant to attract the eye. A good example of a focal point already built into the home is a fireplace.

Unfortunately, not all homes have such an element that is so attractive and such a natural focal point. In this case, people would turn to impressive decoration to achieve this. The crosses come in various styles and sizes so one can be as dramatic as they want it to be. A very large one would obviously be quite dramatic, and really get the point across.

Such a decor element could be a great focal point in a foyer or a hallway. Being the first glimpse of the home that any visitor would have, it can set the stage for all that is to come. On its own, it may not draw as much attention, and may require some added help, as by hanging a pair of candle sconces on each side. The wall being a blank canvas can easily be transformed into something truly inspiring.

In the foyer, consider a wrought iron cross just the right size for the actual width of the wall so that it's not overbearing, nor too small to be lost. It can also be mounted just slightly above a beautiful shelf upon which one can display a matching pair of small vases filled with fresh flowers. Automatically, this creates interest, drama, and the focal point close to the entrance.

Obviously, the cross has great meaning within the Christian faith, so it's an excellent addition in a Christian home. Such families can opt for a metal cross, for example to be hung in almost any room. Depending upon its size, it can stand alone, or be supported by candle sconces. Just ensure that all these decor elements blend in well together.

The dining room may be an excellent place for an elegant cross. It may be supporting a frame of the Last Supper or nearby distressed icons. This could be an excellent focal point in the dining room for a family of this faith.

No matter what the decor, these beautiful crosses can add great style to a room. Available in numerous finishes, materials, and styles, they can work in any design scheme. When looking for something different, always consider the Celtic cross, which is renowned for its exceptional design whereby the cross is combined with a ring. It provides interest, and is different from the conventional designs that most are familiar with.
