What is a Cloche?

You may be asking, what is a cloche? My husband didn’t have a clue, and it prompted me to ask and clarify the term.

Some more familiar terms are Bell Jar or Dome.

Cloche is the French word for Bell, and the Cloches’ original purpose was to protect fragile items.

Therefore, when you place an item under a Cloche, it elevates its importance. They come in all sizes and materials.

In addition, they don’t have to be glass. You will see many rustic or garden-style cloches made of metals. The cage-like covering helps to protect the plant or whatever may be under the dome. I love them all.

Add A Glass Cloche To Enhance Special Objects

Placing a special object or small collectible under a glass cloche will immediately create interest in the object.

Can you imagine how this wooden sea turtle is insufficient when surrounded by other coastal decors? I just added a wicker tray to the pewter riser and a glass Cloche to make the sea turtle a statement piece in the beach cottage.

Decorating with old books is a favorite way to add vintage charm to your decorating style. However, a small collection of books can become the center of attention when placed under a glass Cloche

A glass cloche is a great way to protect your prized collectibles and keep them dust free.

Here I used white chippy accents with dried and fresh hydrangeas to compliment the white pumpkins. The glass cloche adds a touch of elegance to the rustic nature-inspired greenhouse table.

It is simple to use a glass cloche to create a focal point in any room. Simply place it on a table or shelf and fill it with something that you love, such as a vase of flowers, a stack of books, or a figurine.

Decorating with Multiple Glass Cloches

Create a unique coffee table or entry table vignette by grouping several cloches together. To make the vignette more interesting, vary the sizes of the glass cloches.

The fall vignette simply places one pumpkin under the three cloches. A combination of design elements is utilized, featuring both an elegant pediment and sleek black books, all connected by a garland of bittersweet.

A large wooden bowl contains a Valentine’s vignette and includes a mixture of flowers, candy, and cookies under two glass cloches.

How To Use Glass Cloche For Seasonal Decorating

Cloches are great for seasonal decorating. They help to draw attention to smaller items normally overlooked in a vignette.

The DIY Paper Roses was a winter project but look great year-round under the glass dome. As an added bonus, the dome protects the fragile vintage paper from dust.

Next, let’s talk about Garden cloches. Most are made of metal and are primarily designed to help protect plants and flowers in the garden.

However, they are a wonderful accent for any decor style. I love to bring them inside to add a garden touch to any room.

This Spring, I decorated the porch with a concrete bird, surrounded by a foraged grapevine wreath and the chippy metal cloche.

You can add metal cloches from winter to summer to highlight your seasonal decor. I like to use them on the porches as well as inside the house.

I used a chippy stool as the base and added a ring of bittersweet around the pumpkin. A gathering of faux pumpkins adds the finishing touch.

This vignette would also be perfect for Spring with a fresh flower under the Cloche mixed with garden tools and concrete statuaries.

Cloches are a versatile and stylish way to decorate your home for all seasons.

You can use them to display almost anything in your home, and are a must-have for any home décor enthusiast.
