Put it on a pedestal

A decoration motif that I utilize a lot is pedestals, some people call them compotes.
I think they organize things well, keeping them altogether, but they also give you a little extra space by lifting things above the surface. Besides, I think they 'elevate' (no pun intended) the mundane just a little bit.
I've had a couple of trips to Thailand over the years and I always bring back one or two of the celadon variety they specialize in over there. They come in all shapes and sizes and I love the sage green color.

In the kitchen I use one for salt and pepper cellars, olive oil decanter, and timer, next to the stove.

I've posted this one before, items for the 'coffee station'.

On the dining room hutch, napkins at the ready with a sea rock weight on top

On an end table in the TV room, a large pine cone I got in California.

A small one holds my soap in the mater bath shower.
