Do you have a glass cloche or a glass “dome” as they are sometimes referred to? \u00a0I absolutely love to decorate a glass dome cloche. \u00a0In fact, it is one of my favorite staple pieces in my home decor and I use mine year round.<\/p>\n
If you open the door to the closet where I organize and store extra home decor (see more about that HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/span>), you will see several glass cloches in different sizes. \u00a0However, out in my decor, there are many more. \u00a0It is entirely possible that I have a glass dome cloche “problem.”<\/strong> \u00a0On the other hand, I do love, use, and enjoy all of them at different times, so……<\/p>\n One request that I get pretty often is ideas about how to decorate a glass dome cloche. \u00a0Readers love seeing the glass cloches in my decor but sometimes get stumped when they get ready to decorate their own. \u00a0<\/p>\n Actually, I totally understand because just the other day<\/strong>, I asked my viewers over on Instagram to help me think of what to put under a glass cloche I was styling on the buffet for winter. \u00a0Here are some of their great responses!<\/p>\n No matter the season, I love styling and decorating with glass cloches. \u00a0I thought it would be fun to put together a list of things that could be used to decorate a glass dome cloche in different seasonal decor times and also for regular, “everyday” decorating too.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Books-under-cloche-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Books under cloche” admin_label=”IMG books under cloche” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text – what do you put in a glass dome cloche” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Here are some of the ideas I have used in the past, including my favorite ways to decorate with a glass cloche for any season:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cloche-with-black-clock-and-books–scaled.jpg” title_text=”Cloche with black clock and books” admin_label=”IMG cloche with black clock and books” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Table of Contents DRAFT” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”BLOG TITLE” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”1. Candles – what can you put in glass domes” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Glass cloches actually originated in Italy but it was the French who perfected their use for gardening. \u00a0The glass dome, called a cloche, protected the plant from the cold and frost to help it mature more quickly.<\/p>\n Even though cloches originated with the purpose of using with plants, my favorite way to decorate with them is by using battery-operated candles. \u00a0Where a small, simple battery-operated candle may look bare or plain on its own, put under a cute glass cloche, it takes on more significance and becomes a magical part of the cozy glow.<\/strong><\/p>\n I use huge cloches all the way down to really small ones with battery-operated candles. \u00a0It’s safe to say that my battery candle collection is as varied as my cloche collection and I love them all!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Large-candle-under-cloche-scaled.jpeg” title_text=”Large candle under cloche” url=”https:\/\/amzn.to\/3IGllLO” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG large candle under cloche” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”2. Group a vignette – what do you put in a decorative dome ” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A glass cloche is a great way to create a vignette. \u00a0One of my favorite ways to decorate with my larger glass cloches is to create a small vignette underneath. \u00a0For example, a pretty mercury-glass style hurricane, a sprig of cedar greenery, and a small copper-toned house candle looked a little empty on its own. \u00a0However, placed on a pretty base with large cloche over it, helped to tie it all together and it became one of my favorite winter vignettes.<\/p>\n This concept could be repeated over and over for different seasons:<\/p>\n These are just some simple ideas but hopefully they get your creative juices flowing for all of the fun little vignettes you can create to decorate under your own glass dome cloche!<\/strong><\/p>\n One final touch that will help your whole vignette to have a more finished look is to style your vignette on a base and then put the cloche over the top. \u00a0I use a variety of items as bases under my cloches, such as architectural salvage, large old books, antique bread boards, baskets, and trays.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Winter-vignette-under-cloche-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Winter vignette under cloche” admin_label=”IMG winter vignette under cloche on side table” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Family-room-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Family room” admin_label=”IMG family room” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”3.
