Accessorizing your home is an important part of making it feel lived in and complete. A house without any personal touches or design details would feel lifeless. You want to find items to add to your home that you love and pieces that inspire you. You might also want to incorporate items that will stand out and make a statement.
Michael Aram's Botanical Leaf collection embodies all those things, which is why it's our featured collection this month. This collection is marked by accessories and dinnerware items that are beautiful, functional and inspiring. Items that will add a unique and sophisticated touch to your home.
According to Michael Aram, the inspiration behind the Botanical Leaf Collection is the form and texture found in foliage across the world. The interpretation of plant forms in cast metal evokes a natural environment transformed and redefined.
Some of our favorites from this collection include this hand-hammered stainless steel oval tray. It's a versatile option for entertaining or simply having on display.
If you are looking to dress up your dinner table, these nickelplated napkin rings work for either fine or every day dining.
Another striking item in this collection in this botanical leaf candle, which captures the crisp, elemental spirit of natural leaves, while its refreshingly herbal scent draws upon the delicacy of the geranium flower with hints of mandarin and bergamot.
The Botanical Leaf collection also features stunning dinnerware and serving pieces, including this serving platter.
And this serving bowl.
These Limoges porcelain dinnerware pieces are both classic and modern, making them ideal for housewarming parties or a fabulous dinner party you might be planning.
If you aren't sure how to best incorporate some of these accessories into your home to display, we're here to help. To whet your appetite, here are a few ways you may want to consider incorporating these accessories into your home.
If you have open shelving in your kitchen, instead of using it to store kitchen essentials, make it visually appealing by accessorizing it. You can see the botanical leaf oval tray on display on these open kitchen shelves.
The botanical leaf oval tray also looks fabulous displayed in a bookcase in a library or a living room. It looks graceful paired with a variety of accessories including decorative books and natural botanicals.
The botanical leaf candle not only provides a refreshing herbal scent, but it is a lovely addition to a side table. It blends beautifully with any table arrangement and adds an elegant touch to any setting.
Be sure to check out additional items from the Botanical Leaf collection available in our online boutique.
About Michael Aram: Michael Aram is an American born artist who works primarily in metal. After studying fine art and living as an artist in New York in the late 1980's, Aram took what would later be a life-altering trip to India where he discovered rich metalworking traditions. Inspired to work with craftsmen whose skills he felt were greatly untapped, Aram turned his creative energies towards craft based design, setting up a home and workshop in New Delhi.
Aram's work reflects humanity through the directness of the handmade process, as each piece is lovingly made using age old traditional techniques.
