Bird cages are usually associated with a cute little chirping bird, but they do not always have to be. They are many other ways to use a bird cage in a home.
Recently, bird cages have been my new “it” thing for a room. I am in love with their old world, whimsical feeling. They make for a wonderful accessory for a room adding lots of interest and uniqueness to your home. Bird cages are great displayed as a collection or even as a single statement piece.
There are also so many ways to display this fun decor. If you have several bird cages, you can group them together on top of an armoire (remember to group in odd numbers like 3,5,7 etc.), use one as a center piece for your dining room table, place them on side tables, coffee tables of even sofa tables. You can also hang them in the corner of a room from a chain or thick twine.
Now you may ask, should I leave the bird cage empty or what should I fill it with? There are many options in this department. You can leave them empty for a more simple statement or you can fill it with almost what ever you would like. I have seen them filled with greenery, fruit, moss balls, other decorative balls, candles and almost anything else your heart desires.
We had a nice family BBQ yesterday for Memorial Day with about 20 people and I set up 3 tables using the bird cages from our house as center pieces. I took out the odd and end things I currently had them filled with and placed a mixture of citronella candles (we have lots of mosquito’s in Houston) and non scented candles all of different heights to add interest to the bird cages. Not only were the beautiful as centerpieces, but they served a great purpose for our BBQ!
I have rounded up some images of bird cages to provide inspiration in how to use them in your home!
