So what exactly is a vignette you maybe asking yourself? If I’m being honest, I wasn’t exactly sure what the term meant either. I just knew I loved the way Meredith made it look so easy and flawless.. In simple terms, a vignette is a group of items placed together to create a pleasing focal point within a room or location of your home. For example A table in your entryway is a vignette, most people will have some sort of a theme or a season created on the table in their entry way.
Where do I put a vignette?
Most people do not decorate excessively for certain holidays, they do however decorate four seasons. A vignette is a nice way to decorate without going overboard or breaking the bank. It’s simple to do, and can be an inexpensive way to decorate a small area within your home. You may be wondering where you can put a vignette? Realistically. can be anywhere in any room of your home! In the blog I will give you a few ideas tips and tricks on how this can be achieved.

What do I include in a vignette?
Ideally you can use just about anything you like to decorate a vignette, most people associate holidays with certain colors, so that’s a great place to start. An example: Christmas colors are traditionally red and green, don’t go out and buy all new items to place in your Vignette, use things you may already have lying around your home. Some Christmas items can carry over into Valentine’s Day using reds and pinks.
A few more examples of items you can include in your vignette are Ceramics, glass bottle, jars vases And even small figurines. These things can be very versatile and can be switched out easily By adding different decor within or underneath it depending on how you’d like to decorate.
Candy jars, apothecary bottles and even wine glasses filled with items can add texture and color to your Vignette. Use different shapes and sizes to give it depth and dimension.
Signs and things within your vignette are also fun and can add a message within the theme itself. Commonly used items in Vignette are Flowers and candy, these items are easy to find at just about any store within your color scheme.
