5 Creative Ways to Use Wooden Bowls Beyond the Dining Table

Wooden bowls have a rustic charm that goes beyond serving salad or snacks. I’ve found some wonderful ways to use them around the house that make them both decorative and functional. Here are my top five creative ways to repurpose wooden bowls beyond the dining table!

1. Catch-All Entryway Bowl
   One of my favorite uses is as an entryway catch-all. As soon as I walk in the door, I drop my keys, wallet, and sunglasses into a wooden bowl by the door. It keeps everything tidy and within reach, and it adds a warm, inviting look to my entryway.

2. Cozy Candle Display
   For an eye-catching centerpiece, I’ve started using a wooden bowl as a base for candles. I add small stones or dried flowers around a couple of candles in the bowl, and it creates a peaceful, natural vibe. Just make sure the bowl is deep enough and keep an eye on it for safety!

3. Plant Pot Holder
   Wooden bowls make amazing plant holders! I use a medium-sized one to house small potted plants, and it’s perfect for adding a bit of greenery to any space. The bowl’s natural look complements the plants and brings a cozy, earthy feel to my room.

4. Stylish Bathroom Storage
   Instead of cluttering the counter, I use a wooden bowl to hold bathroom essentials like rolled hand towels, soaps, and even skincare items. It’s a practical way to keep things organized, and the bowl’s natural texture adds a touch of spa-like serenity to the bathroom.

5. Jewelry or Trinket Dish
   On my dresser, a small wooden bowl holds my rings, bracelets, and other accessories. It’s a beautiful and convenient way to keep everything in one place, and I love the elegance it adds to my dressing area.

Each use has been such a small change with a big impact. If you’re curious about adding a wooden bowl to your home, Saleberate has a lovely selection that might just inspire you too!
