One way to do that is by looking to the past—the distant past of ancient history. The rich histories of ancient civilizations—some of which have largely vanished from the earth—have produced many fascinating and beautiful art treasures that can greatly enhance your decorating projects. Whether you decide to go with a theme—such as an Egyptian-style bath—or simply accent your walls and furnishings with a few well-placed objects, reproductions of museum treasures from ancient civilizations can help to create the look you want.
Best of all, quality museum reproductions won’t be found in every discount and department store. Whether you choose objects that reflect your own ethnic history, or simply choose on the basis of color and style that appeals to you, you’ll have décor that is fresh and interesting and carries a fascinating history of its own.
Some of the possibilities include ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek, Assyrian or Mesopotamian, or early Christian art. Mexico and Central America were once home to the great and flourishing civilizations of the Aztecs and Mayas. Today little remains of either except for their intricately built pyramids, some temple ruins, and recovered pieces of pottery, masks, jewelry and sculpture. Known as Pre-Columbian art, relics from these vanished civilizations make fascinating and unusual home décor. For those of Hispanic descent, Pre-Columbian pieces from their pre-Hispanic heritage are especially meaningful.
Explore the remnants left behind by these ancient civilizations, and you’ll find the decorating accents that best reflect your own personal style or interests. If you want to carry the theme of your decorative objects throughout a room, try pairing wallpaper border motifs or even faux wall finishes that echo the style of your chosen reproductions to create a living space that is truly your own.
