Top 10 DIY Home Decorations With Stones

Home is our special place in the world. It’s where we always return, where we keep all our possessions and where we want to feel most relaxed. One way that you’d feel relaxed is by surrounding yourself with things that you like or are pleasing to you, which is why we decorate our homes. Yet that goes both ways. Our home decor also gives guests some insight into what kind of people we are and what our tastes might be.

With that said, stones are considered a cold, hard material, but in terms of home decorating, using stone gives out a more earthy connection, and can put more warmth in your home, especially if you opt for using pebbles.  looking at homes decorated mostly with stone, however, might seem cold, but with a few stone decor pieces here and there, you’ll instantly see the warmer atmosphere they create.

Since stones and pebbles (real or fake) are considered natural materials, you’ll probably have a hard time finding some decorative stone items for your home. But the pebbles themselves are readily available for an affordable price. So, get yourself some nice, flat stones and pebbles and start making some stunning stone decor, be it for your house or your garden.

Most of the time pebbles are used for outdoor decor and landscaping, so let’s start our list from there. We want our yards to look nice, but we’d rarely want to spend a lot of our budget on something that will be exposed to the elements or otherwise easily damaged. Starting pretty simple, make a pebble ball. Take any kind of ball, adhesive, and some decorative stones and you can make some pretty neat-looking spheres for your yard. And if you’re thinking about a birdhouse, you can cover it with pebbles ass well.

  1. There's really so many things we can do out of stones. Stepping stones, retaining walls and decorative pieces just like the ones featured here. I really love the stone lamp and the stone pillar candles. It's my first time to see those decorative and useful peices and they really are beautiful and unique.
