The Elephant in the Room: Accessories that Pay Tribute to the Largest Land Animal on Earth

March 8, 2013 by

With no pun intended, we hear that elephants are big this year. We know that the real ones are always big; what we mean is that these particular pachyderms are quite popular in home decorating. They are showing up in fabrics for curtains and furniture.

If this trend is a bit too much Out of Africa for your taste, consider bringing an elephant or two into the room with a few well-placed accessories.

The Jay Strongwater “Kandula” Elephant Candy Dish is made from hand-painted enamel adorned with Swarovski® crystals. It supports a hand-blown clear glass dish waiting to be filled with tasty treats. This elephant measures 3.75″ in diameter x 3″ in height.

This elephant-themed lamp is available from Home Depot. Its antique gold finish and neutral shade makes it an excellent choice to complement a living room, family room, home office, or bedroom. The lamp measures 27″ in height.

A subtle way to display your interest in elephants is with this beautiful and practical coat hook. It measures 5″ H x 13″ W. Children will appreciate the four trunks that double as coat hooks, but this item will work just as well for adults. It’s made from iron, so you know it will stand up well to whatever your family can throw at it.

Will you be adopting the elephant trend this year for your home decorating? Is this an animal you would gravitate toward when collecting accessories?
