Inspiration Spotlight: Decorative canisters

December 14, 2014: The Container Store is featuring these decorative canisters with brightly-colored patterns and designs. I absolutely love these…they would look great on a kitchen counter, a dining table or in the cabinets as storage.

The Orla Kiely collection suits my style perfectly! My fingers were itching to reach for these in every shape and size and toss them into my cart. But I held myself back and willed myself to instead snap a picture and use this for design inspiration.

I also love these tea tins with intricate floral pattern designs.

This sparks ideas on making household containers and items pretty and lively using pretty, artistic elements. I will be sure to link to posts of creations I come up with using this theme. V-
