Get the Look: Wicker Furnishings & Accessories

These pieces are so much more refined than the wicker chest I had in high school in my Laura Ashley bedroom. (Believe me, it was an improvement over the whole rainbow and unicorn thing I had going on in junior high.) If you’ve been thinking of adding a little texture, these are cute and inexpensive wicker furnishings made from all sorts of often renewable, natural (and a few synthetic) fibers. A word of caution however. If you have a puppy, skip the wicker. Years ago I borrowed a white wicker table from a boyfriend’s mom to use in my sparsely furnished studio apartment. My ten-week-old cocker spaniel ate the entire thing, literally. (He was really cute though.)

Get the Look: Maps

There are lots of maps for sale online, from huge murals to dainty vintage dandies. You could easily cover your walls in the stuff. Or just opt for a map wallpaper pattern, which is perhaps more pulled together but not nearly as interesting. There are also plenty of map inspired accessories you could scatter about. Here is a sampling of the ones I found…

Get the Look: Wall Sculptures

So, have you decided you should get a wall sculpture? Can be cheaper than a painting (or not) and certainly are textural. I still haven’t taken one of mine out of the box – you might just want to make an offer on it. There are lots of sources for wall sculptures, both vintage and new . . .
