What is your strategy when it comes to the top of your tall china cabinet, shelf or bookcase? Do you regard it as a place to stash away your most unsightly possessions, or do you take advantage of this space to display your finest vase collection? The images below definitely represent the latter possibility:

*

Interior Designer Eddie Ross decorated the top of this china cabinet with beautiful vintage (-looking?) crystal cake stands. The visually light glassware makes a fantastic contrast to the heavy furniture. Almost like it is topped off with a warm breeze!

*

This home office was decorated by Anna Orfanides of Anna O Design. Just like Eddie, Anna vent for transparent glassware, but this time representing all sorts of peculiar shapes. I see at least one vacuum filtration flask and a separation flask. Let’s conclude that this is the office of a chemist.

*

Interior Designer Olga Adler decorated the top of this cabinet too. I love how she used three large objects. Simple, uncluttered and definitely stylish.

*

No one says you can’t bring in a bit (or a lot) of color. Color groupings like this catch your eye right away. Unless you are color blind.

*

Black & Spiro owner Anna Spiro decorated this tall cabinet to display a collection of beautiful blue and white ming-style vases.

*

Definitely cute!
