Decorative ornaments

Modern ornaments: umbrella stands, decorative vases and more

Modern knick-knacks are essential to have a complete and well-furnished home. These decorative accessories have an infinite number of shapes and colours and they can be classified according to their usefulness. The latter is a relative factor with respect to the decorative component of the object itself. A candlestick, indeed, is no longer almost used for the purpose for which it was born, but purely as an ornament. Modern ornaments can be introduced in any room of the house, but certainly the one where they find their greatest place is the living room, followed by the kitchen and bedroom. Of course, a lot depends on the style of the interior and the type of space: a silver ornament is more suitable for the living room or dining area rather than the kitchen. But let's see which are the modern ornaments and the most common decorative accessories in our homes.

- Decorative vases: the first modern ornaments we think of are decorative vases. Unlike the classic terracotta or plastic plant pots, the decorative pots perform the function of ornament for living rooms, bedrooms or entrances, and to contain fresh flowers.

The materials usually used to make these accessories are ceramic, fine porcelain or glass.
