Depicting a lily or iris, the fleur-de-lis is noted for being a symbol of royalty rsspect.org It is stylized, elegant and sophisticated, and it makes a beautiful addition to your dining room when used as wall art ambafrance-kwt.org There are many choices available when it comes to wall art, and the fleur-de-lis design is one of the more popular styles. Dress Up the Wall When you are looking at a blank wall, think of it as a canvas just waiting for your creation imailstation.com You may wish to hang a large piece of fleur-de-lis wall art to draw attention to the wall infinitewellnessnetwork.com You can frame the metal wall art with a couple of candle sconces, and they can add a soft, warm ambient light to the room while you are dining inmotionreports.com These candles also offer a nice balance to a cluster of candlesticks elegantly displayed on the dining table and the complement of votive candles displayed on the sideboard. Add a Little Architectural Style You can incorporate a fleur-de-lis medallion to add interest to your dining room jamespascoe.com Dress up your plain windows and doors by adding a fleur-de-lis architectural accent over them janicekluge.com You can add symmetry to a room by flanking a window or set of windows with a fleur-de-lis medallion. You can also repeat them in between windows to create an elegant pattern in your dining room. If your wall does not have a chair rail, you may want to add a series of fleur-de-lis medallions to break up the vast expanse of the wall. If you keep them the same color as the wall itself, the fleur-de-lis pattern will almost seem to be embossed on the wall. Group Patterns for Elegance You can use a fleur-de-lis theme to create an elegant grouping in on the wall of your dining room. Begin by hanging an oval shaped, beveled glass, framed mirror to your wall. Then hang a fleur-de-lis medallion about a foot above your mirror. Select a piece of shiny, satin ribbon, and create a ‘v’ attaching the medallion to the mirror. The illusion will be that the mirror is hanging from the medallion on the ribbon. Then you can complete the wall treatment by adding a couple of fleur-de-lis wall accent pairs to either side of the mirror. In between each pair, add a candle wall sconce. You now have the architectural interest of the fleur-de-lis, the soft light of the candles and the sparkling quality of the mirror. The Fleur de Lis and Metal Art You can combine fleur-de-lis wall art with other forms of artwork like an iron wall plaque with a fleur-de-lis design embossed on it bringing a sense of formality or royalty to your dining room. This type of artwork almost looks like it was plucked directly from an ancient castle, and it can be used in the dining room instead of a mirror. If you have a large door entering your dining room, this would also be a suitable place to mount a fleur-de-lis plaque. You can also use the fleur-de-lis appliques to embellish furniture or mirrors. If you dining room and kitchen are open to each other, you can embellish your cabinets with the fleur-de-lis design and elegantly tie your kitchen to your dining room. If your dining area looks at the backs of kitchen cabinets, then you can create a faux door with fleur-de-lis wall hangings adding interest and dimension to the cabinet backs.
