Tips For How To Decorate With Ginger Jars
Learning how to decorate with ginger jars is both easy and fun! As with any decor accent, thought should be given to using different heights, shapes and styles for visual interest. You should also consider where to place your jar(s) based on whether you want them to be a focal point or a complimentary decor accent in your space.
Some ginger jar decor tips to consider are:
- grouping jars with similar colors/patterns together for a decor niche or focal point;
