Decorating Details: Antlers Branch Out
Antler-inspired décor brings a touch of animal chic to just about any interior style
Usually the combination of antlers and home decor conjures up visions of big log lodges out in Jackson Hole. While these can be warm and charming rustic spaces, I was amazed what a keyword search of "antler" turned up for me on Houzz. Designers are working antlers into all kinds of spaces, and using them no longer requires harming an animal or taxidermy. Here's a look:
Let's begin with the antler chandelier. This one was the most surprising of all to me; I can't get over how harmonious the furnishings in this glass box room are. Who knew the answer to "What light fixture goes with a minimal platform bed, a Nelson bench, and an Eames chair" would be "A rustic antler chandelier of course!" I think it works because it connects something inside the room to the expansive view of nature beyond. What do you think?
The antler chandelier is one of the carefully chosen textures in this more streamlined (yet still cozy), serene bedroom.
This is the first time I have seen a bright blue antler chandelier, and it certainly gives this dreamy closet a jolt of energy.
Here it is where we'd expect it: in a traditional room with a big stone fireplace and a stone floor.
A deer trophy head needn't require hunting or taxidermy; there are plenty of stylish faux options.
