Elevate Your Decor & Give Texture To Your Space

Elizabeth Samay • May 15, 2023

Risers help to elevate your decor and give texture to your space. Risers can be any shape, size, style. One way to elevate an item is with a large candle holder that has a flat top.

Risers can help make a centerpiece on a table standout without overpowering the table.


Even a beautiful tray can make a collection of items give virtual interest. In one picture the vase is on the table top with a decorative doily. The same vase on a book makes it more interesting. Risers are an inexpensive way to decorate as they can add dimension to the decor. Look at the picture below that is a combination tray and metal riser. The smaller riser can be found on Amazon and come in a pair. These can be painted or stained or left natural.


So many ways to make a simple change and freshen up your decor from season to season.
