If you have a neutral room, or home, you probably love adding textural elements to the mix.
I certainly do! One of my favorite pieces to use has been a set of deer antlers a friend gave me years ago. Mine are somewhat unusual, as they have the hide and hair wrapped around a wooden form. In the photo above, you can see how I placed them inside an antique picture frame. I usually prefer them in a mostly symmetrical arrangement in a gallery wall, after all, they are symmetrical!
While antlers have been a popular trend the past few years, they have long been a classic element in traditional homes.
Here are seven antler decor ideas that caught my eye recently:
#1
Antlers above a window
These are in a very traditional kitchen.
SOOO Downton Abbey!
#2
Antlers above a door.
In this case it happens to be a pantry door.
Notice, these have been given a creative paint treatment.

Antlers in a bell jar.

#4
Antlers on top of an Armoire or Cabinet.

#5
Antlers in a table scape.
Don't you love the contrast of the sparkly mercury glass?
#6
Antlers as Table Base.
These are ANTLERS, and they're still available on Etsy.

#7
Antlers as Christmas Decor!
Unfortunately, this Pottery Barn version is no longer available.
However, below,
The Country Chic Cottage has a tutorial for a knock-off design, making faux antlers.
I might have to try a similar version, using some of my collected antlers!
If you're looking for antlers, check my Etsy shop next week.

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.

hi Revi ... so nice to see you and your post on antlers. I love decorating with them. All of mine are dropped or shed antlers. This is timely because I am cleaning our bedroom and taking the girlie stuff off Mr.Z.'s night table and thinking of using antlers in the decor. Have a great week-end. Hope all is well.
Hugs.

I have some collected antlers...right now I have them in a big urn with evergreens. Pretty inspiration photos!
Hi Revi! That is one of my favorite scriptures! Your antlers look great & always interesting to see how others use them. Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs, Cecilia
I love the look of antlers, but here in SC, we cannot buy antlers. Even if they are sheds. It is illegal to sell them with a very stiff fine attached. We just mosey over to Georgia where they can sell all they want.
wow...who knew? I knew they were hot but had no idea they could look so good so many ways! My friend here tells me she finds them in her fields all the time!
These are all great ideas on what to do with antlers. I love how you hung yours on your amaaazing gallery wall!

I borrowed some antlers from my Mom this fall. I'm using them on my fall table. I've never used antlers before. Yours look nice on your gallery wall.
i think stringing xmas lights on them would be what i'd do if i had a pair. great ideas-tfs, revi:)
I love your gallery wall- I think this arrangement is my favorite.
Love that antler wreath! Wishing you a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
Hugs,
Patti
Girl!
Popping in to check on you... how you doing?
Did I miss something? It's been a month-- hope this finds you well, and just too busy to blog and nothing else.
:)
Looking for you in my feed or email-- take care, and blessings.

Merry Christmas Revi!
