Linda from the Lennoxx wrote a great post about how to Make a Perfect Vignette..., "those pretty little landscapes of beautiful items...." that you can create on your coffee table, mantel, shelf, windowsill, dresser top or even on your nightstand. So I hope you enjoy this group of coastal vignettes, arranged by designers. Above, Molly Frey sticks to a color theme with her displays.
From a folk art shell house to a driftwood sculpture, Frank Roop likes to display objects from nature.
One approach to creating a vignette, Linda says, is to build it around a large background object, like a framed picture. This beachy scene, photographed by Wayne Vincent (designer unknown), is an example of that.
Designer Scott Sanders also uses framed art as a background.
A vignette organized on a tray, styled by Branca Interiors.
Carter and Company creates a little vignette on a nightstand.
Mabley Handler Interiors keeps it minimal.
And another coastal vignette, done by Molly Frey.
These inspire me to play around with what I have!

The first one...my absolute favorite!!!!
ooh I love the first picture! I want that painting. I love the jars, and the white of the fire place
I love the jars and painting over the fireplace :)
Oh my goodness the first picture is exactly what I have been looking for to do on my mantel. I have the picture I just needed the idea for the mantel itself. Thanks for sharing. I love your blog I just found you.
Oh, that first picture is how I want my home to look...and it couldn't be more opposite. In reality, I can't live with all white...I would spill coffee on everything. I do love the look.

Love them all, but that fourth one is my favorite! I have a similar table, shells (of course) and I'm working on a pair of frames right now that will work for a vignette similar to this one.
New ideas for my new home abound in this post! Thanks Maya.

Oh... that first one has given me a great idea for my bathroom!
Beautiful! Tablescapes, vignettes....they still stump me...a lot! Thanks for the great article link. I'm putting that away in my top secret files!
Love those jars on the mantel in that first photo.

Really beautiful and I think vignettes make a space! I love all of the photos, but the first and last ones are my favorites.

ooooh i love the idea of "vignettes" I had only heard this word as far as literature goes, but it makes sense in design. i think i will have to try this.
My vignettes always tend to turn into clutter. Still working on it :)
Wow Maya, thank you so much for referring back to my vignette post! I love the vignettes you picked out. One thing I really like is the three orchids in one planter look, that is one of the things I have noticed a lot lately and want to put into action in my own home. Isn't it crazy what a bit of rearranging of what you already have does for your home?? Thank you again Maya!!
Nice post.. it gives me many ideas to work around with. Thanks for this inspiring post.
Well done, lots of love inspired collections to admire.
Maya, Love the vignettes you showed. Loved them all.
Thanks for some ideas.
