From the tiny acorn grows the mighty oak. These eye-catching and beautiful works of nature are becoming quite popular when blended with other nature-inspired decor, such as metal wall art. For anyone who loves to incorporate the grace of nature's gifts into their interiors, you'll find many applications for acorn themed decor - and even a few for using real acorns accents.

Stunning Lighting Fixtures
The acorn-themed light fixture features a neutral palette that is accented with acorn shapes and oftentimes with oak leaves. Fitting accents in a traditional, eclectic, country, or Craftsman decor setting include overhead fixtures for the entry or foyer as well as chandeliers for the kitchen or dining room, wall sconces, and floor and table lamps. Because of their neutral palette they will easily tie in with other colors and they add texture and depth by the very nature of their design. You will find lighting fixtures featuring acorn themes in wrought iron and other metals as well as natural wood to suit your personal decorating preference.

Spray a light layer aerosol sealer over them; let them dry, flip them over, and spray again.
