Design Trend: Antlers

Seems that the Antler décor trend is not just relegated to cabins and rustic décor.  Antlers have become fashionable and have gone mainstream.

My personal decorating style does not include the antler look but I can appreciate and admire the charm and eclectic touch they add to a room.  I especially like them as part of a gallery wall arrangement, when they are used to create a chandelier or when they are  incorporated into tabletop décor.

Here’s a little Antler Inspiration to finish off the week.  Enjoy!

For those of you that love the look of antler décor, I’m sharing a great resource for stylish antler wall plaques.

My friend Sarah over at UpscaleDownhome started buying and making antler plaques last year and sold them in her Etsy shop. She combines vintage fabrics and materials with the antlers and then mounts them on decorative wood plaques. She also makes antler curtain tiebacks.   Sarah has created a nice business with her antlers and is continually adding new styles because these babies sell so quickly!  I urge you to head over to her shop and check it out and while you’re there, take a peek at all the fabulous vintage finds she has for sell too!

Here are a few of my favorite UpscaleDownhome styles…
