Decorating with Bird Cages: 7 Unique Home Decor Ideas

1 – Dining Table Bird Cage Centerpiece

To create a dining centerpiece with a bird cage, look for thrifted dishes, candlesticks, salt & pepper shakers, or other small tableware to enhance the vignette.

For this warm and cozy dining table centerpiece, I used several thrift store finds, including a stack of vintage dishes, a silver creamer, and a brass candlestick holder. The brass bird salt and pepper shakers are treasured pieces from my husband’s grandmother. This centerpiece would be perfect for enhancing any table, regardless of the season.

To create a summer centerpiece, the candlestick holder and salt & pepper shakers were switched with a faux boxwood greenery and thrifted silver creme and sugar.

The large bird cage centerpiece is flanked by two napkin decoupage clay pots filled with greenery, creating a cheerful summer tablescape.

You can also use a bird cage to add a seasonal touch, especially in the spring and summer months. See this Easter brunch tablescape for more details.

2 – Kitchen Countertop Bird Cage Vignette

To decorate the kitchen countertop, I filled the bird cage with an ironstone vase and vintage utensils. A couple of small cutting boards add a rustic organic touch to the arrangement, and a faux basil plant is added for a summertime ambiance.

The top of the bird cage can be closed or remain open if the utensils are being used.

Another simple design features a smaller bird cage with vintage silverware in an ironstone pitcher, complemented by a faux plant and a cookbook to complete the vignette.

3 – Elevate Cabinet Tops With 2 Bird Cages

The two bird cages are proportioned perfectly for a stunning arrangement on top of a cabinet. Since I’m using them on the screened porch, I went for a more traditional look with DIY Grapevine Topiaries, faux birds, and bird nests.

A trash-to-treasure window serves as a background piece on the updated thrifted antique china cabinet. The colorful birds help to draw attention to the otherwise neutral display.

4 – Refreshing Coffee Table Vignette

With summer in full swing, I like to keep the screen porch coffee table simple. To create a simple bird cage coffee table vignette, I added a live greenery plant, some moss spheres, and a decorative stone with a meaningful scripture.

Next to the bird cage, I added a stack of coffee table books with a small iron bird.

5 – Garden Planter Bird Cage Style

Next, I decided to create a garden-themed bird cage vignette. I added both cages to a garden planter on the porch. The small cage is filled with thrifted clay pots while the larger one holds a clay pot with one of my DIY grapevine topiaries.

I used a floral candlering in the larger bird cage, and the smaller one is surrounded by a grapevine wreath. The planter has a unique, garden-inspired feel that’s perfect for a porch or sunroom decor.

6 -Summer Mantel With Bird Cages

To create a summer mantel display, I decided to balance the two ends with the bird cages. For a more formal style, I used vintage books, greenery, and small birds.

To create height, the smaller bird cage sits on a stack of thrifted books. Both are filled with books to add a more formal feel. The boxwood topiaries also add classic style. Small birds complete the design vignette. The flower candlestick holders and bird bowl filled with moss spheres complete the simple mantel piece decor.

7 – Bird Cage Bathroom Decor

Gather your towels, soaps, candles, and greenery to enhance your bathroom countertop. Add a battery-operated flicker candle, some smell-good soaps, and a few colorful towels to the inside of the bird cage.

This vignette is a perfect display that adds ambient lighting while displaying bathroom decor.
