Decorating With Apothecary Jars

In this post: I’m sharing ideas for decorating with apothecary jars throughout your home + tips for using them as part of your seasonal decor!

Apothecary jars are an inexpensive way to add a fun decorative element to your home. Plus they’re incredibly versatile – you can use them in almost any room of your home and can change around what they hold to continually create new looks. I’m sharing some of my favorite ways to use them in your home plus sources to buy them (affiliate links included in post; full disclosure statement available {here}).

One of my favorite uses of apothecary jars is in the bathroom where they can hold soaps, sponges, or bath salts by the tub like these classic apothecary jars found {here}:

Smaller ones can hold cotton balls, Q-tips, and other little pretties. If you don’t have a lot of counter space, stacked jars are a great solution (and I love the look of them!):

While these exact stacked jars are no longer available, {this set} is similar.

You can also use apothecary jars in a more prominent room in your home like your entry or living room. They’re fun to change up seasonally – I love the fresh look of these jars filled with oranges, lemons, and limes (obviously you’d want to use faux citrus) for spring:

and pears with other natural elements for fall:

Another idea is to use them as part of a centerpiece as was done on this beautiful table with apothecary jars filled with water and florals:

You can even change up the contents of your jars for the holidays like my Easter apothecary jars from many years ago:
