Elegance can be hard to nail down. Why? Because it doesn't necessarily draw attention to itself. Luckily, adding elegance to home décor is quite easy especially when one knows how to use the right items and accessories. Incorporating just a few elements can really help to build a room (and home) that’s comforting, welcoming, and elegant.
Of course, some of those elements can be found at any home goods store. Floor-to-ceiling drapes, beautiful area rugs, and pictures and mirrors all help to turn an ordinary room into extraordinary. But did you know that Limoges miniatures are another great way to add elegance to your home décor? Let’s have a look below at why these magnificent pieces should be part of your home décor, plus we’ll even reveal our favorite elegant Limoges trinket boxes.
Why do Limoges Miniatures add Elegance?
These miniature masterpieces are one of the best ways to add elegance. While the list is endless, below we’ve highlighted the main reasons why Limoges miniatures can add elegance to any room in your home.
Hand-painted Works of Art
Each Limoges box that we feature at Limoges Collector is meticulously hand-painted by top artists in Limoges, France, which you can see in the incredible detailing and bright colors that each box features. All of our boxes are also hand-fitted with ornate metal work and some even include 24K gold embellishments. Additionally, most of our Limoges porcelain boxes feature delicate and intricate artwork inside. Whichever box you choose to add to your home, you’ll find that each is truly a beautiful, original work of art.

After all, these collectors items are considered luxurious for a reason. Investing in one or more Limoges miniatures will help to turn your room from ordinary to elegant.

Plus, we also have rare and retired Limoges trinket boxes as well as those from some of the top brands including Beauchamp Limoges and Artoria.
To add to their charm, many of our Limoges miniatures have one or more tiny porcelain accessory pieces that not only act as a surprise when opening the box but are also perfect to be displayed alongside the piece.

Where Should you Place Limoges Miniatures to Enhance Home Décor?
How can you use these beautiful Limoges trinket boxes to your advantage? It all comes down to room placement.
Living Room
Typically the living room is considered to be more formal and upscale than any other room in a house. This is ideal for a Limoges box as they are the perfect accent piece for a side table, bookcase, or china cabinet. They also make the perfect centerpiece where you can design the rest of your living room décor around it.
Dining Room
Entertaining guests? Whether it’s for a holiday or special occasion, placing your Limoges box in the center of the table will not only create an elegant atmosphere but it will also spark conversation.
Entranceway
Nowadays there is a big emphasis placed on entranceways as they are no longer just a place to take off shoes and hang up coats. Entranceways serve as places to start conversations as well as teasing guests on what the rest of your home looks like. Enhancing your entranceway décor with a breathtaking Limoges box is a way to show guests your elegance (we also know that it will lead to quite a few compliments as well).
Other Places
We also recommend to place Limoges trinket boxes in offices (specifically on desks or by awards), in bedrooms, and in powder bathrooms.
