    Decorative Magnifying Glasses To Add Style to Your Home

    Decorative magnifying glasses are fun, unexpected accessories for adding style to your home. My favorite way to use them is as coffee table decor, resting on a stack of two or three coffee table books. Today I’m sharing inspiration pics for using them in your home and my decorative magnifying glass picks! (post includes commissionable links; for more information see my disclosure statement {here})

    If you struggle with adding accessories to your home, one easy “formula” that works on coffee tables, consoles, and dressers is a stack of two books (a smaller book stacked on a larger one) topped with a decorative accessory. Here’s a beautiful example of stacked books topped with a decorative magnifying glass and another accessory on an entryway console (photos from McGee & Co):

    In a living or family room, try a stack of two books topped with a magnifying glass and paired with two vases of varying heights like this styled coffee table from McGee & Co.:

    Love this polka dot decorative magnifying glass!

    If you like an oversized look, instead of using a petite magnifying glass with a slim handle, choose one with a larger lens and more ornate handle like this faux horn-handled magnifying glass:

    You can even have with it and dress your magnifying glass up seasonally with a holiday bow or tag:

    I also love the look of {this decorative magnifying glass} resting in a round woven tray next to a decorative vase filled with greenery:

    and the look of {this magnifying glass}:

    After searching all of my favorite online stores for home decor, these are some other decorative magnifying glasses I found that I love (scroll & tap images to shop them):

    Which one is your favorite?

      Love all the inspiration photos Kris, I have mine too and scored it from TJ maxx! I used it for fall, but since Christmas has begun in my house, it’s away in storage. Come to think of it, the kids love using it as much as I love looking at it!

      Oh that turtle magnifying glass is to die for! I bought my fiancé a magnifying glass last Christmas and I may have to plop it into our living room!
