Owl-inspired decor ideas
Decorating with owls is all the rage. As a motif, they’re varied and versatile. From cute wide-eyed animated styles to the more dignified and statuesque, it’s easy to incorporate them into any room. Whether you put them centre stage or let them settle into the background, owls allow you to inject some character and fun into your style. So go ahead - let your imagination take flight! Here are 10 ideas for decorating with owls to get you started.
