Unique and easy wreaths. In wreath design, incorporating mesh adds a touch of texture and versatility, allowing for endless creative possibilities. The interplay of colors, patterns, and materials creates a captivating visual interest, making your wreath truly stand out. Whether you're crafting a seasonal wreath to adorn your front door or a special one for an event, mesh can be elegantly woven into your designs, providing depth and a modern twist to traditional wreath-making.

Wall art. World-renowned artists such as Edoardo Tresoldi use wire mesh to create thought-provoking works of art, demonstrating the medium's capacity for producing captivating and inspiring pieces. So, why not infuse a touch of creativity into your own living space with framed wire mesh wall art? By incorporating this innovative material into your home decor, you can bridge the gap between fine art and interior design, making a bold statement that speaks to your unique sense of style.

DIY lampshades. Create a bespoke lighting atmosphere with stainless steel mesh by choosing a mesh with the opening size and weave you love. For example, our flat wire Durango decorative steel mesh showcases a square interweave pattern with a more understated, modern finish. In contrast, Edison mesh’s diamond pattern and sparkle are absolutely eye-catching. The choices you make will change the lighting patterns. Design custom lampshades, chandeliers, sconces, and pendant lights to create the lighting arrangement of your dreams. 

Cabinet inserts and wet bars. Set the ambiance for your wet bar, kitchen, and dining area with an eye-catching layer of woven mesh, such as in our Fandango weave. Add interest with under cabinet lighting twinkling through, drawing visitors to the libations within your wet bar. Or, add a sense of spaciousness to your kitchen or bath by installing cabinet door inserts; this is a tried-and-true design trick for making any space appear larger

Room dividers. Partitions and room dividers double as works of art when composed of decorative wire mesh. These stunning creations not only serve as functional elements but also become captivating focal points within your space. Decorative partitions or room dividers can define areas seamlessly while adding flexible privacy, transforming your environment into a masterpiece of both form and function. Our Tango mesh is available in a variety of materials, perfect for any design style. Choose antique brass or bronze for a traditional look or stainless steel or antique nickel for a contemporary feel.
