BOWL OF LEMON ON A COFFEE TABLE

Today’s 20 minute decor is more of a reminder and a shortcut hack.

We all know how one pretty, bright arrangement can brighten up an area in your home. And it can give a nod to the season as well!

So I’m reminding you to grab a bowl and put together an attractive arrangement!

My neutral family room got a big dose of pretty with a bowl of lemons!

Ready to make this easy decorating idea! I have a little trick for making this arrangement look full and lush!

HERE’S WHAT YOU WILL NEED…

lemons, white bowl and paper bags to make a pretty arrangement
  • a big bowl
  • plastic grocery bags
  • fruit
  • leaves

ASSEMBLE THIS EASY DECORATING IDEA

You don’t have to use lots of fruit or organics to fill your bowl for this arrangement, I have a fun hack for this!

Use plastic grocery bags or bubble wrap or pinecones in the bottom of a bowl.

Then just pile the fruit/organics on the top!

Put the fruit/organics on top of the plastic grocery bags.

The plastic grocery bags helps to fill up the bottom of the bowl so I can use less lemons!

The last step in this easy decorating idea is to add a few leaves to blur the holes between the lemons.

I found these pretty greens at my local grocery store. You can also use faux green to fill in the spaces between the lemons.

  1. Neutral rooms are lovely and restful. A little color such as the lemons with greenery keeps the room from being bland. The arrangement keeps the room looking fresh., such a simple idea! Thank you for the inspiration.

  2. Great post! K.I.S.S. 🙂

  3. PS: I guess that I should have said: K.I.S. Sweetie! 😉

  4. LOVE! That simple and pretty arrangement!
    In that very neutral room that arrangement really brightens up this already pretty room.
    Is this the room you watch TV? Where did you place the TV?

    1. You have asked a very popular question, Kathy! I found them at Pottery Barn years ago. I have seen them now and again on their site. Mostly at Christmas.

    Just wondering if I can buy any of the items in pictures…..especially the white jars with handles

    1. Hi Judy, the pottery lanterns were from Pottery Barn. I picked them up several years ago. Once in a while, they have brought them back. Sorry I can’t help more.

  8. Love all your ideas. Could you tell me where you get your area rugs? I love all of them. Thank you & looking forward to next post.
