Home Decorating Tip - Empty Shadow Box Ideas

By: Rick Johnson

How do you make a room in your house or office a reflection of you? Where do you start? There is a quick and easy way, that won't take a bite out of your wallet, to add a very personal, beautiful touch to your furnishings.

A great home decorating tip is to build in the style of your room a shadow box. After you get the hang of it you might could even bring in some extra dough making them for other people. How do you make a conversation piece out of an ordinary box? I will share some empty shadow box ideas.

First you need to pick your size.

Simply run down to your local hobby or craft store to see the dozens of empty shadow boxes available. The choices can be a bit overwhelming. Just keep in mind where you are going to display your box and pick the best one for your new craft. For instance the bathroom usually requires only a small box. A small box can be used on top of a desk. The opposite is true also, look for bigger sizes to fill large spaces.

Figure out what style is needed.

Golf is a great subject for a shadow box. You might want to craft it for yourself or someone you would like for them to have a personalized gift. Some ideas could be: old driver covers, some indoor-outdoor green carpet, maybe some sand and a ball would create a beautiful accent for the den or office.

Around your kitchen table, create a bountiful harvest feel by adding some silk or dried flowers and fruits to your shadow box. You could make a smaller version and put it somewhere in your bathroom.

Pet themed shadow boxes are a great project and a excellent addition to the pet lovers home furnishings. Paw prints and dog bones, or some of your cat's favorite toys arranged in a whimsical way let people see that you love the four legged members of your family.

How about a Hawaiian theme for the bedroom? Add some sand, a miniature palm tree, and a lei. Miniature footballs, basketballs or small baseball bats at your local craft store help build a sports themed box.

Add personality to your home. Simply go to your local hobby store where a little imagination and a few supplies can turn into a beautiful conversation piece for you. Or make some for other people to pick up some extra dough.
