How Decorative Wall Crosses Can Improve The Decor Of Any Home

By Tammie Caldwell


In order to reflect one's own personality in their home with regards to the decor, they need to add elements that really speak to them. Being able to relate to those elements will make one feel more comfortable, and at the same time welcomed in their own space. Below, learn how decorative wall crosses can improve the decor of any home, and how they can be used to do so.

These decorative elements can look stunning in all homes, and one needn't be a Christian in order to include them. This is all about interior design and style, and may have nothing to do with one's faith. Choosing one of a substantial size can make it the focal point of a room, which is indicative of style, and not necessarily faith. The focal point will provide the major point of interest necessary for the wow factor. A naturally occurring focal point in a home may be a fireplace.

Certainly, not all homes are graced with such a focal point. Therefore, the burden is on the homeowner to use decoration to achieve this. As such, crosses are not only attractive, they also come in various styles to be suitable to any design scheme. Choosing an extremely large one would provide the drama necessary to draw the eye to it.

This decor element could be all that's necessary to create a focal point in the foyer or the hall. This is the first impression people get when they visit the home, so here is the homeowners opportunity to shine. To really make it stand out, place it between two candle wall sconces.

In the foyer, consider a wrought iron cross just the right size for the actual width of the wall so that it's not overbearing, nor too small to be lost. It can also be mounted just slightly above a beautiful shelf upon which one can display a matching pair of small vases filled with fresh flowers. Automatically, this creates interest, drama, and the focal point close to the entrance.

The truth is that crosses are synonymous with Christianity, so they are very fitting to those of this faith. It could go beyond just adding some more style, as they may add more than one in their homes. They look fabulous in almost any room, standing alone, or supported by sconces and other decor elements. The important thing is to choose elements wisely so that they all tie in together.

The dining room can be a wonderful space in which to include an elegant cross. This particular space often houses a painting of the Last Supper in more religious homes, so it can really set the stage when pairing these two together. Alternatively, one made of wrought iron could look fabulous next to antique icons.

Crosses can be used in virtually any decor because they can be extremely beautiful. Since they are available in a variety of finishes, colors, and materials, they can grace any room, from modern to rustic and everything in between. Those who seek something a little more special may turn to the Celtic cross, which is known for its design that includes a ring.
