To begin, there are a few interior tips to follow when placing decorative bowls. You should start by deciding how you plan to fit the bowl into your décor. This will help you narrow down which type of bowl you are looking for and where to put it.
Decide if you want an accent piece or if you want the bowl to match the surrounding décor. If you want an accent piece, the bowl should stick out from the surrounding décor without clashing with it too much. For instance, the color of the bowl might match other accent color pieces in the room, like a bright blue shade on a throw pillow. Or a metal bowl might fit in with an overall industrial style, but still give some bright golden tones that pop in the space. Overall, an accent piece should stand out.
Bowls meant to stick out can work well on end tables and shelving, since they draw enough attention to be placed anywhere. But accent bowls can also work well on countertops and tables.
Bowls that match the surrounding décor do well on kitchen or dining tables and countertops. If you place them off to the side, they can blend in too much. Below are some of the major types of bowls and which styles they match well.
