Crosses are available in all styles and sizes, and many people decorate with wall crosses for a variety of reasons. No matter the reasons, there are many creative ways to decorate with wall crosses and create dramatic and inspiring focal points throughout the home. Consider the following ideas for creating inspiring focal points using crosses and other beautiful wall decor, and transform an ordinary wall into a well decorated and highly inspiring area within the home.
Ideas for Decorating a Foyer
The foyer is the first area guests see as they walk in the door, and an inspiring focal point can be created with wall crosses and candle wall sconces. Consider mounting a wrought iron or metal wall cross on an empty vertical space in the foyer, and center an attractive shelf several inches beneath. Use the shelf to display beautiful eye-catching floral or religious figurines, and place a small decorative jar candle in the center. Light the candle to illuminate the cross and create an inspiring and exceptionally lovely focal point in the foyer.
Ideas for Decorating a Hallway with Elegant Crosses
Many people use their hallways as photo galleries and places to hang items they do not have room for anywhere else. If the end of a hallway is bare, consider buying a lovely wall cross. A hallway is the ideal place to hang one, and it will be an inspiring display that can adorn the home for years to come. A high-quality cross can also be passed down from generation to generation, and it will be treasured for a lifetime.
Metal Crosses and Bedroom Decor
Large metal wall crosses look fantastic on an expansive wall, and the bedroom is another ideal location to display an elaborately designed metal cross with inspiring appeal. It can become a focal point above the head of the bed or another empty space along with the addition of coordinating metal plaques or candle sconces. Select a pair of stylish metal plaques or candle sconces that go well with the cross, and mount them approximately six inches from both sides. The eyes will naturally be drawn to this focal point, and it will add a great deal of beauty to the room.
Decorating a Dining Room with Beautiful Crosses
Wall crosses of size can also be used as a focal point in a dining room. Center an elegant metal cross on a bare dining room wall, and mount decorative matching candle sconces on both sides. Candle wall sconces are designed to match every decorating style, and they are the perfect accompaniment to elegantly detailed wall crosses. Choose candles that match the accent colors of the room, and light them shortly before guests arrive. Not only will the display make a striking impression, but the candles will also bathe the room in amber light while creating an inspiring focal point.
No matter where large decorative wall crosses are displayed in the home they will add style and elegance. With a few creative accents they will become the focal point of the room, and they will add inspiring beauty and detailed design. It will be a focal point that reflects the spirit of the homeowner and the powerful message it represents.
