16 Best Wooden Dough Bowl Styling Ideas for Fall
Dough bowl styling ideas for fall decor. Dough bowls are beautiful wooden bowls and are very popular as styling accessories for the home. Another name for dough bowls is trencher or trough. This is because these bowls were initially designed like a trough. In more recent years, the dough bowl has been restyled in a rounded cut-out shape. Originally the purpose of these bowls was for making bread dough. And part of the daily meal preparation routine.
Vintage dough bowls are much sought-after due to their uniqueness and large style. Some dough bowls are quite long and provide a fairly large space to decorate. Dough bowls can be styled with fall seasonal accents such as pumpkins, gourds, acorns, and apples. Larger bowls can hold candles, candlesticks, and lanterns. And adding greenery to a bowl brings an earthy organic look to the dough bowl.
Style a dough bowl as a centerpiece on a dinner table, console table, or kitchen counter surface. They work equally well when the dough bowl is decorated on a coffee table, a sideboard, or bookshelf. And these dough bowls look great in boho, rustic, farmhouse, or coastal style homes.
Take Your Inspiration from the Seasons – Dough Bowl Styling Ideas
Keep your dough bowl styled according to the seasons. There is no better designing inspiration than from the outdoors. For the fall season, pumpkins are always the go-to decorative pieces. But don’t overlook acorns, gourds, apples, and scarecrows. For inspiration on decorating your dough bowl, take inspiration from one of the talented designers below. Take a look.
