Home Style: Decorating with urns

When you look through your closet, searching for something to wear, chances are you have a few pieces that you pick over and again, like those jeans that are as comfy as jammies or the shirt that brings out the color of your eyes.

Similarly, when I decorate my home, I have a few favorite accents I use repeatedly to create great displays. At the top of the list? Urns. I adore urns in every size, shape and style because they are as lovely as they are versatile.

Want to use urns to add spark and style to your home? Here are some ideas to get you started.

If you're looking for a tool that will help you create great tabletop displays in a snap, consider an urn. Just scout for one with an attractive shape and fill it with something interesting. How about this: Dig through the produce drawer in your refrigerator, pull out some great-looking fruit or veggies, arrange them in a small urn, and place it at the center of your kitchen table, kitchen island, buffet or side table.
