Adding Decorative Wall Crosses To Improve The Decor Of Any Home

By Tammie Caldwell


For home to look fabulous, it must reflect the ones personality. In order to achieve this, they need to elements that they can relate to. Items like these will make the individual and the family feel more at home and more comfortable in their own space. For example, one could easily consider adding decorative wall crosses to improve the decor of any home.

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.

As most already know this, fireplaces are not a given in every home, so someone needs to find another way to provide the excitement the room needs. Since crosses come in so many styles and sizes, it's easy to create the drama that's required when developing the focal point. In such a case, a very substantial one could be the answer to get the point across.

Such a decor element could be a great focal point in a foyer or a hallway. Being the first glimpse of the home that any visitor would have, it can set the stage for all that is to come. On its own, it may not draw as much attention, and may require some added help, as by hanging a pair of candle sconces on each side. The wall being a blank canvas can easily be transformed into something truly inspiring.

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.

Obviously, the cross has great meaning within the Christian faith, so it's an excellent addition in a Christian home. Such families can opt for a metal cross, for example to be hung in almost any room. Depending upon its size, it can stand alone, or be supported by candle sconces. Just ensure that all these decor elements blend in well together.

The dining room may be an excellent place for an elegant cross. It may be supporting a frame of the Last Supper or nearby distressed icons. This could be an excellent focal point in the dining room for a family of this faith.

No matter what the decor, these beautiful crosses can add great style to a room. Available in numerous finishes, materials, and styles, they can work in any design scheme. When looking for something different, always consider the Celtic cross, which is renowned for its exceptional design whereby the cross is combined with a ring. It provides interest, and is different from the conventional designs that most are familiar with.
