Unique Glass Home Decor

Looking for that unique and elegant ice cream dish?
At homedecorbylulu.com you can find these beautiful one of a kind pieces.
It’s a conversation piece.
All of them are hand painted and individually done. Each one of your guests will be pleased to have their own unique dessert dish.
It could also be a good idea for a great corporate gift or a gift for that special friend in your live.

I loved this glass hand painted bowl for its functionality. It can be used as a flower vase or as a tea light candle holder. Used as a candle holder, the light would bring this vase to life accentuating the decor and the colors that the artist used for creating this exquisite piece. Fresh cut tulips or freesias in white or yellow would bring out the color in this beautiful unique vase making it an attractive centerpiece.

Having the right home decor for your entryway is key.
Your guest’s first impression of your home is through your foyer. It will give them a sense of your style and personality.
We put together a few great tips that would help you decorate your foyer.

1. For a dramatic look, choose quality flooring and area rugs.
2. A large mirror above an exquisite console would add drama to your entrance and create the illusion of more space.
3. Large wall art or a grouping of multiple framed wall art would give the same dramatic look.
4. Don’t forget the lighting. Use a combination of a beautiful chandelier and table lamps with a dimmer to give you options for setting the mood.
5. You can also dress up your console with a nice tray that holds decorative balls, framed family photos or a tabletop fountain for a tranquil feel. As well, nice touches can be a decorative box to hold your keys and mail, a couple of silver candle holders to add sparkle to the space or an exquisite hand blown glass vase with fresh cut flowers.
6. If the space permits you can use accent chairs or a bench that suits the mood of the area. Decorate the chairs with throw pillows to give it a warmer look. You can change the pillows with the season. In the summer time, use light and colorful fabrics and in the winter, dark, heavier texture fabrics. Plants also add life and vitality year round.
Another idea is to lay a unique cotton throw on the bench that coordinates with the decorative pillows.
7. Add more of a dramatic look by using a floor vase or two tall floor vases of different sizes.
8. By the door, set a nice umbrella container… useful during the rainy days and decorative on the sunny days.

So, there are some of the ideas that should help to create a foyer to welcome guests into your home.

Bathrooms are all about escape or a little oasis of calm.
The following are a few ideas of how to create a spa bathroom feel with a serene and fresh surrounding look.
- Light in a bathroom is critical, that’s why when you renovate, add large windows, build in skylights and/or roof lanterns.
- Choose a color that sooths your personality and your soul that inspires your passion and lifts your spirit.
- Add decorative faucets that have personality.
- Use more natural elements for your floor and accent accessories.
- A uniquely elegant sink.
- Showers with body sprays and rain heads.
- Organic shaped mirror above the sink.
- Install invisible speakers for music.
- Steam generators in showers with reservoirs for essential oils.
- A glass cylinder filled with river rocks and a few bamboo sticks would bring that serenity and “zen” feel into your bathroom.

If you would like to take it to the next level and if the space permits, create a stunning space locating a gas fireplace opposite the tub. Or:
- Install a mini fridge and a flat screen television.
- Warm-rail heated towels racks.
- Bring in comfy chairs, ottomans and lamps.
- Combine functional and decorative lighting.
- A crystal chandelier would be a beautiful accent that adds sparkle to any bathroom.
- A nickel finish cart can hold soft cotton folded towels, aromatherapy candles and elegant lidded glass urns filled with bath bombs or bath salts.
- A basket with your favorite loofah and spa sea sponges and a few sea stars and corals would give the final touch.
- Fresh cut flowers in a beautiful hand blown glass vase would finish the look that you have dreamed of.
We hope these ideas would help you in your journey to create a bathroom that delivers a spa experience.
