How to Decorate with Birdcages

By Kelly Mahan

The idea of having a birdcage inside your living room might sound crazy yet it can be the unique décor idea you’ve been looking for. A lot of people are very subjective when it comes to defining beauty and elegance. For some, having a birdcage without a bird inside it is not really what they would call beauty while others don’t mind a cage as long as it’s designed and decorated carefully.

You can make the birdcage more elegant by adding beautiful candle stands inside it. Simple candle stands will do here. Carefully hang the cage in the living room and light the candles to set the mood. If you want, you can spray paint the cage. Gold would definitely be a worthy color, although any other dark color would work too.

If you love white rooms then you will also love this idea. Consider setting the cage against a white backdrop to fully illuminate it. This can be done in any room you want. As long as the walls are white and the furniture is white, a rustic brown cage standing at the center of the room will bring everything else together. It’s a simple idea but it will really dazzle everyone.
