Decorating Tip: Beaded Fruit

Have you got a compote, basket or other decorative container on display in your home which needs a little pizzazz? Sometimes, you don’t want the look of silk flowers or plants, and wax or artificial fruit can often just look strange.  Why not embrace something a little more abstract?  Beaded fruit can be found in many craft or decorator stores. 

By arranging beaded fruit in a container, you’re adding interesting colors, shapes and shimmer to an otherwise dull container.  The best part of beaded fruit is that, unlike painted wax fruit, you’re indicating that you know it’s not real and you’re making an artistic statement.  Beaded objects play with the light beautifully and offer an elegant touch to any room.
