How to Style a Vignette

Styling a vignette is a bit like designing a whole room—but on a smaller, more playful scale. You can create one just about anywhere: on an entry table, a kitchen shelf, a mantel, a sideboard, or even tucked into a bookshelf.

Here’s how I like to build a balanced and beautiful vignette:

  1. Start with a focal point – Something larger like a piece of art, a tall vase, or a lamp helps anchor the arrangement.

  2. Ground it – Use a tray or a couple of stacked books to define the space and break up the surface.

  3. Add something organic – A sculptural piece like driftwood, a branch, or even a plant brings life and movement.

  4. Play with asymmetry – Keep it interesting by avoiding perfect symmetry. Shift things slightly off-center.

  5. Layer in personality – Mix in smaller pieces like ceramics, candles, or meaningful objects to give it depth.

Before you step back, take a look and make sure it flows with the rest of the room. A good vignette feels effortless—even if you styled it with intention.
