How to Style a Farmhouse Dough Bowl Centerpiece
The dough bowl has recently taken off as part of the décor space in a huge way. They are often made of hand carved wood. Before they were part of the décor space, they would have been the pride of a farmhouse kitchen holding bread or dough. The wood would have kept the dough at the right temperature, and would have been a perfect place to mix all the ingredients. Dough bowls are now used in modern decor to hold flowers, candles, or even TV and console remotes.
When it comes to the styling of dough bowls, they are incredibly versatile pieces of décor. Depending on your own personal style you can adapt them to any room within your home.
You can also add accent colors with small flowers of any color. This can allow you to have accents but still maintain the warm and comforting tones that are so vital for this style. Having a predominantly greenery inset to your bowl will allow for the soul soothing nature of the style to be brought in to your space, but with our pieces at Rustic Sweethearts being high quality faux, you won’t have to water it every day like living plants.
Farm house style
Within the farmhouse style there is predominantly two styles: rustic and modern. The rustic style lends itself perfectly to the warmer and darker tones. These tones are the basis of the grounded and lived-in feeling that farmhouse strives to bring into your environment. This lends itself to darker woods and darker greens. This can also be broken up with small pops of colour that can accent your whole living space. To style your dough bowl for the rustic farmhouse aesthetic, the best thing to do is lean into greenery. The dark wood bowls and the greenery really pull together the earthy textures that are the forefront of this style.
To style your dough bowl for modern farmhouse, it becomes a slightly different task. This is underlined by sleek lines and edges as well as a raw feel to the woodwork. The same wooden bowl becomes the focal piece of the sleek yet reclaimed nature of the style. This would then be filled with other reclaimed items like grapevine balls or wooden Lotus flowers, or airy and simplistic greenery pieces that highlight the beauty of the bowl. Both of these still show sleek lines, and the dark earthy tones that lend to the style.
