What is a Cloche?

You may be asking, what is a cloche? My husband didn’t have a clue, prompting me to ask and clarify the term.

Some more familiar terms are Bell Jar or Dome.

Cloche is the French word for Bell, and the Cloches’ original purpose was to protect fragile items.

Therefore, placing an item under a Cloche elevates its importance. Cloches come in all sizes and materials.

In addition, they don’t have to be glass. You will see many rustic or garden-style cloches made of metals. The cage-like covering helps to protect the plant or whatever may be under the dome. I love them all.

Add A Glass Cloche To Enhance Special Objects

Placing a special object or small collectible under a glass cloche will immediately create interest in the object.

Can you imagine how this wooden sea turtle is insufficient when surrounded by other coastal decors? I just added a wicker tray to the pewter riser and a glass Cloche to make the sea turtle a statement piece in the beach cottage.

Decorating with old books is a favorite way to add vintage charm to your decorating style. However, a small collection of books can become the center of attention when placed under a glass Cloche

A glass cloche is a great way to protect your prized collectibles and keep them dust free.

Here I used white chippy accents with dried and fresh hydrangeas to compliment the white pumpkins. The glass cloche adds a touch of elegance to the rustic nature-inspired greenhouse table.

A glass cloche is a simple way to create a focal point in any room. Place it on a table or shelf and fill it with something you love, such as a vase of flowers, a stack of books, or a figurine. Under the glass cloche, a patriotic display of red, white, and blue buttons holds a vintage military photo. See more vintage button ideas here.

Decorating with Multiple Glass Cloches

Create a unique coffee table or entry table vignette by grouping several cloches together. To make the vignette more interesting, vary the sizes of the glass cloches.

The fall vignette simply places one pumpkin under the three cloches. A combination of design elements is utilized, featuring both an elegant pediment and sleek black books, all connected by a garland of bittersweet.

A large wooden bowl contains a Valentine’s vignette and includes a mixture of flowers, candy, and cookies under two glass cloches.

How To Use Glass Cloche For Seasonal Decorating

Cloches are great for seasonal decorating. They help to draw attention to smaller items normally overlooked in a vignette.

The glass cloche adds style to this simple garden-inspired baker’s rack on the screened porch.

The DIY Paper Roses were a winter project, but they look great year-round under the glass dome. As an added bonus, the dome protects the fragile vintage paper from dust.

Next, we move to the living room and the coffee table Cloche Display. Here I decided to fill the vintage wine barrel with fun fall decor and showcase each special item under a glass Cloche.

You can enhance the amber bottles with these DIY vintage-inspired labels.

The holidays are a great time to add glass cloches to make all the Christmas decor shine.

To decorate the mini trees surround the cloches with vintage Shiny Brite ornaments to create a unique coffee table vignette.

Next, let’s talk about Garden cloches. Most are made of metal and are primarily designed to help protect plants and flowers in the garden.

However, they are a wonderful accent for any decor style. I love to bring them inside to add a garden touch to any room.

This Spring, I decorated the porch with a concrete bird, surrounded by a foraged grapevine wreath and the chippy metal cloche. Then I updated with a fresh coat of spray paint and add a flower frog with flags for the 4th of July.

You can add metal cloches from winter to summer to highlight your seasonal decor. I like to use them on the porches as well as inside the house.

I used a chippy stool as the base and added a ring of bittersweet around the pumpkin. A gathering of faux pumpkins adds the finishing touch.

This vignette would also be perfect for Spring with a fresh flower under the Cloche mixed with garden tools and concrete statuaries.

Cloches are a versatile and stylish way to decorate your home for all seasons.

They can be used to display almost anything in your home and are a must-have for any home décor enthusiast.
