No matter how many pieces of furniture you own, chances are your coffee table is one of the most essential pieces in your living space. And why not? It is, after all, so much more than just the perfect surface to place your plate of food or kick up your feet on a cozy movie night. A coffee table serves an aesthetic purpose, too. As a major focal point in the room, it pulls the rest of the furniture together and makes them look like one organic whole. In other words, your coffee table is as important in your living room as your couch or armchair. So, it is only right that you want to go the extra mile to decorate it to the nines.

Lucky for you, styling a coffee table isn’t the most difficult task, especially with our list of tips in hand.

• Keep it balanced

A common mistake homeowners make when decorating their coffee tables is placing an assortment of tiny knick-knacks on them. This can make the surface look cluttered and chaotic. On the contrary, displaying only large items can often look jarring. You should be able to strike the right balance with a mix of large and small items.

• Make it seasonal

An easy way to keep your interiors feeling new and fresh is to swap out your coffee table decor seasonally. For instance, you can display a bunch of florals in spring. In summer, you can swap them out for some greens. Fall calls for pumpkins and gourds, while nothing works their magic like candles in winter. You can even use our recycled molten glass sculptures as candle holders.

• Embraces the highs and lows

Here’s another coffee table decor mistake you should avoid: Displaying items of the same height. When all the decor pieces are at the same level, nothing really attracts the eye. If you want the arrangement to be more eye-catching, make sure you vary the height and size of the decorative objects. For instance, you can place a candle holder next to some coffee table books.

• Pick contrasting colors

If you want to inject your living space with some bright pops of color, your coffee table decor offers just the opportunity you need. Play off the color of the table when picking the decor. For instance, if your table is a neutral hue or a light brown wood, go with vibrant colors on top. For darker browns or black tables, metallics and white decor are the way to go.

If you want to make a statement with your coffee table decor, our recycled molten glass sculptures might be just what you need. Available in a wide range of shapes and styles, as well as vases and candle holders, they are the perfect elegant addition to your interior decor. Browse through our online store to buy our recycled molten glass sculptures. Shop now.

If there was ever a quick and easy way to add style and personality into your living space, it is with the use of throw pillows. Whether it is in your bedroom, living room, or patio, adding a smattering of throw pillows can instantly change up the look of the space. Throw pillowsare available in all sizes and they are an inexpensiveand perfect way for adding a pop of color to a bare room by making it feel warm, cozy and more inviting.

There are plenty of ways in which you can spruce up your home with decorative throw pillows, and in some cases, it might take a practiced eye to get things right, butit is still possible, for even the most amateur interior designer, to make their pillow arrangement look stylish, elegant, and polished. Here are a few tips for you to help you create a look that you will love:

1. Play with colors and patterns

Unless you want to keep the color palette simple and neutral, pick throw pillows in an array of colors and patterns. This will brighten up the room and make it feel more cheerful. Although, you need to be mindful of which colors you pick, they should complement the rest of the decor in the room and not clash with each other. If you plan to use different patterns, it is best to use one color palette to create a cohesive look.

2. Mix textures

If mixing and matching colors or patterns isn’t your cup of tea, you can always mix textures instead. Use a variety of fabrics for your throw pillows, which will help introduce an element of visual interest to any space. For instance, you can mix your cowhide pillows with cotton or silk pillows.

3. Place them in odd numbers

While the number of pillows you arrange on your sofa or bed should be based solely on your taste and preference, odd numbers do look better. They look more modern and artful. Also, instead of going for a medley of smaller pillows, pick three or five larger pillows for a neat look.

In The Garden and More offers a stunning range of throw pillows, including cowhide pillows that are available in various shapes and sizes. Browse through our products to take your pick from patchwork lumbar pillows, reversible pillows stuffed to perfection, tri-color cowhide pillows, and so much more. Continue reading

Your front yard or garden doesn’t just enhance the curb appeal of your home but also creates your own unique andtranquil paradise filled with shade-giving trees and fragrant flowers. But what do you do when it feels a little lackluster and possibly needingsome TLC?

When your garden appears messy, it can affect the whole vibe of the space. It is important to breathe new life into it these spaces and we have listed some of the easiest and best ways to do just that. You don’t even need a lot of fancy tools or a huge budget to accomplish great results.

Whether you have a small garden or a large garden, a backyard garden or just a courtyard, here are a few simple ways in which you can transform your outdoor space and boost your property value in the process.

1. Create a planting plan

To ensure that your garden looks clean and well-structured, you need to plan your planting. This means you need to determine a good mix of both green structural plants and flowering plants. If you have rows of flowers, you can accent them with lush green bushes at the end. Smaller shrubs are great for small gardens while bigger trees work for bigger, more spacious gardens.

2. Add a water feature

If you want to transform your space into a romantic garden, adding a water feature will do the trick. It could be a stream that winds through it and empties out on a pond, or just a pond. Plant vibrant flowering plants along the edge of the water will add a sophisticated  touch or a whimsical touch depending on your gardening style.

3. Add furniture

Adding furniture doesn’t just make a garden look better but it also makes it much more useful. Now you have a place to have a morning cup of tea amidst nature or entertain your friends under the starry night sky. But make sure that you buy pieces that are weather-resistant, such as metal benches and chairs that will not rust when exposed to moisture.

4. Use DIY decor

While decorating a garden isn’t really expensive, you can still save your money and also partake in a fun little project by creating some DIY decor elements. You can make your own candle centerpieces by filling vintage terracotta pots with sand and pushing dinner candles in. You can also add to the beauty of your flower pots or herb garden by adding handmade labels to them. Write the name of the plant on small slate tiles using chalk.

5. Install metal yard art sculptures

When it comes to garden design, there is nothing more unique than metal yard art sculptures. While elevating the aesthetic of the space, they also give it a distinct and more artsy flair that is unlike anywhere else. You can use a sculpture to make a statement or scatter them around the garden for an avant-garde feel.

In The Garden and More offers a collection of beautiful and unique metal art sculptures for yards and gardens. Check out our online store to discover pieces like our Agave Sharkskin Succulent Metal Yard Art Sculpture that is hand-forged by the skilled craftsmen in the USA, and be sure to check out one of our newest addition to whimsical gardening fun… our Beetle Bug Indoor Outdoor Metal Bench Sculpture also hand-forged in the USA.

Summer is here, and chances are you are gearing up to spend more time outdoors. Whether it is an intimate picnic or a barbecue party, there is nothing quite like soaking up the warm sun in your own garden or yard. So, how about you elevate the ambience of the outdoor space further with some stunning metal art? Introducing art to your yard or garden is a great way to lend personality and also add a finishing touch to the landscape design. It also helps make the outside feel more like an extension of your indoor living space. Not to mention, metal art sculptures can be stunning statement pieces and are quite the conversation starters.

But before you buy an outdoor metal sculpture, here are a few things you should keep in mind:

1. Think about what will work in your outdoor space.

   Your garden or yard should be treated as a part of your home, and so, both spaces should have the same aesthetics. Does your home have a contemporary design or is it bohemian? Or do you have more modern decor sensibilities? You need to find a sculpture that complements the overall style and vibe. If you cannot, placing a custom order is the perfect solution.

2. Choose the location carefully

   When you invest in a piece of artwork, you want to display it in a location where it catches the eye and does not remain hidden. Consider the size and shape of your garden when deciding on the location. You can either place the sculpture in a spot where it beautifully blends in with the surroundings or a place where it stands out and creates a memorable sight.

3. Don’t be afraid to experiment

   When it comes to garden sculptures, metal might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Adding something like our Yucca Succulent Plant Metal Yard Art Sculpture might even seem intimidating at first. But that shouldn’t keep you from experimenting and having fun. Rest assured, it will provide you with a great deal of visual pleasure and tons of compliments.

Discover a collection of metal yard art sculptures, only at In The Garden and More. All our sculptures are hand forged by skilled artisans and are designed to add a touch of unique beauty to both outdoor and indoor spaces.

Setting up a birdbath is an easy and effective way to draw birds as well as other small animals into your backyard or garden. There are, however, some myths and misconceptions about birdbaths that you may have heard. Not only are they not true, but they can also lead to unsafe or unhealthy baths that can prove to be a dangerous environment to your feathered friends. So, in this blog, we have decided to dispel some of these misconceptions so that you can provide clean and safe water for the birds, and attract more of them in the process. Read on to find out what they are.

1. Not all birds use birdbaths

This is probably one of the most common birdbath misconceptions. The truth is that all birds need drinking water, and they also need water for bathing and preening. Birds that are not interested in the seeds you put out for them may still visit your backyard for the clean, fresh bath. Moreover, other garden-variety wildlife like squirrels and butterflied may also benefit from it.

2. Deeper baths are better

No, they are not. While it may seem like a deeper bath can hold more water and thus provide more water to the birds, it can actually be quite dangerous. Birdbaths should ideally be 1 to 3 inches deep.  If they are deeper than that, even the biggest birds may not be able to bathe properly. Moreover, it also increases the risk of drowning.

3. Cleaning a birdbath is a lot of work

Cleaning a birdbath is not as troublesome as you may have been led to believe. There are various cleaners and safe chemicals that can be added to the bath to keep it clean and hygienic. And when properly maintained and cleaned regularly, you don’t need to apply much elbow grease while cleaning. Most of our birdbaths have lock on tops that you can twist off and remove for cleaning.

So, if you have ever had these misconceptions hold you back from installing birdbaths in your backyard, now you can go ahead and get one. Browse through our online store to find birdbaths and other animal lovers’ decor for sale. In the Garden and More is your go-to destination to buy animal lovers decor products online.

Fall is here and the birds are still active and probably still looking for food and water for bathing and drinking that your birdbath has provided them. But as winter approaches, your birdbath can be at risk of breakage if you live in a colder climate. We want to remind you that you should remove your birdbath top for winter before water freezes, as it may allow it to crack. The base does not collect water and can usually withstand the elements, depending just how cold it gets in your area. If you are not sure, please store them away for winter so they will remain beautiful and ready for use when spring comes. For you warm climate people, you can keep your birdbath out year round as a beautiful garden decoration for your birds without fear of breakage!

What we did with our broken birdbath… Many years ago, when these birdbaths first became available, we purchased one for ourselves, (we have the purple lavender one), and our birdbath top broke several years later but we continued to use the base, for 10 years, as a gazing globe holder and it was really unique and beautiful. The old style birdbath top (like ours) just rested on top of the base, making it easy for a racoon, cat, or squirrel to easily flip it off its base and break and that is exactly what happened to ours. Since we also sold gazing globes on our website, we added a stainless steel gazing globe on top that endured many winters, wind storms and more. And when the wind would blow it off the base, we would just pick it back up and place it back in place. A glass gazing globe will fit in the base hole and could work as well, but again, in colder climates they have the potential to break, so we don’t really want to suggest that, but, of course, you certainly can try one and see what happens. We have used glass globes here in North Carolina for the winter without breakage. As long as water does not collect and freeze it might be okay, but no guarantee.
After many years as a gazing globe holder, we wanted a birdbath back, so my husband decided to super glue a replacement top to the base…. thus for us, when winter arrives here in North Carolina, we will be bringing both pieces into our storage building. So, lawnmower, move over and make room for a birdbath set! I have to say it has been nice to have a whole birdbath again, even if we had to glue the base and top together.
As most of you know, we do sell replacement bases and tops so you don’t have to buy a whole new set if one piece gets compromised
