Provence Decor
Provence implies the use of light-colored cells. A classic piece of furniture in this direction is twisted with roses, decorated with lace and other flowers with delicate colors.
A photo or a figurine of a rabbit in a cage will fit perfectly into the overall look of the bedroom in this style. In the kitchen, such decoration may include cooking utensils or wine bottles.
Floor options with indoor plants are a competent design move where there are such decorations as massive chests, a fireplace or other large details.
Provence style means an abundance of ruffle, lace and decor on shelves and walls. It is worthwhile to adequately assess the fullness of space with all these details, so as not to overload it even more. Since the cell will certainly attract a lot of attention.
Butterflies and curls for provence are also acceptable. Dried bouquets, fabric and porcelain are also used. Even an old watch in a cage looks extraordinary.
Provence does not use large cells of dark colors. Large parts with chains and locks should also be avoided. Leave it for the Gothic, and for Provence use small cells with compact filling.
Still this style implies compliance with certain rules. The box with the rods should not be dotted with monograms, it is better to choose something classic, painted in pastel colors.
Decoration with flowers and herbs
Ready-made options for decorating are often expensive. You can make an inexpensive cage with your own hands. You just need to buy everything you need at the nearest sewing store.
If you have already selected a box for registration, then purchase the following elements for it:
Beads;
Feathers;
Artificial flowers;
Tapes;
Lace;
Wire;
PVA glue.
A simple set will help to decorate a product from rods easily and quickly. Just create a pattern of beads and flowers on the ribbons, fix them with glue, then wrap between the rods. Put the largest buds inside the cage. Use wire to fasten items. And make lace like a canopy out of lace.
Cellular decor always looks luxurious if its shades are in harmony with the general colors of the interior. A bright pink cage looks good in a room dominated by neo-Gothic or Art Deco. The pale blue version is suitable for Provence just perfect.
A cell can also be used as a flower pot if you plant grass or climbing plants there. You can attach a bundle of dried herbs to it so that the house is filled with subtle field aromas. If the smell is felt implicitly, then the lamp with aromatic oils will solve this problem.
The effect of antiquity
Is there only a modern cage available? Do not be upset. You can paint it in any color, and to give the effect of antiquity, rub some places with sandpaper.
A careless method of painting, where the surface is coated with uneven strokes, also contributes to this stylish effect. Sometimes with this method, you can leave the cell edges unpainted.
Antique cells, by themselves, do not require special refinement, but it is highly desirable to think through their contents more carefully than in all other cases.
To make this decor possible in another way. It is necessary to place an antique thing inside the cage. You can also decorate the cage with ordinary ropes with intricate knots.
The favorites among the non-trivial filler of the product are mirrors, chandeliers and Christmas decorations. The cell is a universal piece of decor. Its filling can be changed depending on the seasons or the upcoming holidays.
Candle holder
A cage-candlestick looks very romantic in the interior. It is done simply. Inside the rods place candles of the desired shade, height and thickness. Having this cage in the room you can enjoy its light in the evening.

Fasten the structure.

The same foam base will support the sticks. From the edge of the base, it is necessary to indent 5 mm and push holes for future rods there. The sticks need not only to be inserted into the holes, but to be strengthened with glue there. Then cardboard is used to create the roof.
The final stage is painting and decoration. Many interesting things for decoration can be purchased at Ikea.Such animal figures as hedgehogs, rats, parrots will also be a great addition to a homemade bird cage.

Out of the box and cloth
A cloth and a box are all that is needed to become the owner of a fashionable interior decoration. The size of the box is selected individually. Its lid turns into a square dome of the cage, and the necessary slots are made in the walls.
Pasting with a cloth is the last stage of cell decoration. After that you can decorate the product with rhinestones and beads so that it matches the style of “shabby chic”. If the fabric has a floral print, then this item will complement the Provence style home.
