TOWEL BARS AREN'T JUST FOR TOWELS ANYMORE
When it comes to decorating, it's sometimes difficult to envision objects outside of their accepted practical purposes. We can't see a flowerpot as a storage container or an assortment of tarnished spoons as a wind chime waiting to happen. We can't see an old apron becoming a throw pillow a smashed teacup becoming a mosaic piece. In the same way, we grab our towels each morning and regard our towel bar as a utilitarian object meant for one purpose and one purpose only—to hold our towels. Here are some easy decorating ideas involving a stylish, versatile Victorian towel bar that may change your opinion.
You don't need a Victorian home to successfully utilize a Victorian towel bar. Its classic lines will ensure compatibility with any number of decorating schemes. Let's say you'd like to dress up a bland wall in a young girl's room. Using a Victorian towel bar for this project is a wise idea as its embellishments will reflect an air of both femininity and antique opulence. Mount the towel bar at waist height or higher and hang with old pointe shoes (just tie the shoe ribbons onto the bar!), an antique ballet outfit, a selection of feather boas, or an old patchwork quilt. The possibilities are endless, depending on the style you wish to evoke. In the kitchen or a country/rustic-themed dining space, hang dried herbs or braids of garlic from your towel bar. If you're feeling whimsical and ambitious, you could try drilling holes in old wooden spoons or antique flatware and stringing them on lengths of raffia or twine and hanging them from the towel bar. In the living room or formal dining room, a Victorian towel bar makes a fantastic mount for a European-inspired tapestry or other wall hanging.
Take time to think about the things you love. One surefire way to bring contentment and happiness into your home and your life is to surround yourself with these things, and one excellent and creative way to do that is by turning a simple Victorian towel bar into an innovative work of art. Search your attic, your basement, and your heart. You'll be sure to find plenty of beautiful, meaningful objects worthy of display.
