Why Mother of Pearl is used for Tissue Box Cover & Decor https://www.nestaire.com.au/mother-of-pearl-is-used-for-tissue-box-cover-decor/ https://www.nestaire.com.au/mother-of-pearl-is-used-for-tissue-box-cover-decor/#respond Tue, 14 Sep 2021 05:54:25 +0000 https://www.nestaire.com.au/?p=5755 The post Why Mother of Pearl is used for Tissue Box Cover & Decor appeared first on NESTAIRE.

]]>

Mother of Pearl has been in extensive use for a while now, but many of us don’t know much about the material or its myriad of uses. Some even confuse it with pearls due to their close connection to each other.

In this blog, we will talk about everything you need to know about Mother of Pearl from its structure and origin to its distinguishing features and uses. By the end of this post, you’ll surely be eager to own our Mother of Pearl tissue box cover and a few more items made from this breathtaking material!

What Mother of Pearl Is and How it Differs from Pearls

When some molluscs accumulate an iridescent substance on their inner layer, that layer is known as Mother of Pearl. This organic lining is prominent in abalone, freshwater mussels, and pearl oysters to guard the inner shell from external contaminants and parasites.

It has a distinct, iridescent appearance that brings a boho-chic appeal, making it ideal for making jewellery and other decorative items such as a Mother of Pearl tissue box. That’s because light reflects off its layers to provide a multi-coloured lustre, similar to that produced in pearls.

But why is it called that? That answer is believed to lie in the nacre-lined shells. They are present in the place where pearls are formed and also share certain characteristics. However, they are significantly different from each other in some ways.

For instance, even though both these substances are made of nacre, They are named after two different parts of the shell. Mother of Pearl is what we call the inner shell that is coated with nacre, whereas a pearl is completely made of the material.

If a contaminant or irritant gets stuck inside the shell, the mollusc covers it in several layers of nacre until it grows into a pearl in a few years. The two also differ when it comes to supply and availability; pearls, especially varieties like Tahitian, Akoya, and South Sea are extremely rare.

This is because far fewer molluscs produce pearl gemstones than they do Mother of Pearl. In fact, the percentage of molluscs that are able to create pearls is very low. This number hasn’t been able to improve despite multiple advances in pearl cultivation because favorable conditions don’t guarantee the pearl production by a mussel or oyster. Furthermore, there are several species of molluscs that can create Mother of Pearl in comparison with fewer kinds of molluscs that can make gem-quality pearls. In other words, a Mother of Pearl tissue box cover is likely to be more affordable than a pearl necklace.

How Long has Mother of Pearl been in Use?

Long ago, Mother of Pearl was more valuable than pearls themselves in some cultures. Ancient Egyptians decorated silver pieces with Mother of Pearl embellishments, and centuries later, it was extremely popular in the Chinese Ming and Shang Dynasties. Native American tribes also used Mother of Pearl in making ornaments, aside from trading it.

Some Uses of this Special Material

The most popular use is in ornaments and jewellery. Due to its excellent appearance and properties, Mother of Pearl is also used (wherever it is found) to make a variety of products such as a Mother of Pearl tissue boxcover and flower vase along with home décor and tile designs.

Many craftsmen utilize this material as an accent for a wide range of items such as the buttons on women’s clothes, men’s cufflinks, and several playing instruments (harmonicas, accordions, guitars, etc.)

Coasters on a clean table do more than just look good: they serve a purpose other than contributing to aesthetics. These palm-sized mats are placed to protect the surface below from burns or stains, but pick the right set and they can also become a part of your decor.

If you’re considering purchasing a set, you are sure to encounter thousands of designs in the market that will leave you confused. Fortunately, Nestaire offers a couple of designs that will blend in with practically any type of decor. They are mentioned in this blog along with the most common materials of coasters found these days.

Types of Materials Coasters are Made From

Coasters are also made from a variety of commonly available materials, such as the following:

Wood – Wood is a bad conductor of heat so it’s one of the most popular materials for coasters that can handle both hot and cold items. It also brings a sense of natural charm into spaces and is affordable.

Metal – Although this material isn’t as versatile when it comes to protecting the surface underneath from the temperature of the drink above, it does bring a unique touch to your space, offering a serene vibe to wherever it’s placed.

Glass – Glass brings an impressive modern appearance to your space with the ability to cast a luxurious impression on visitors. It can be moulded easily, making it perfect for a vast range of tableware.

Ceramic – It is manufactured by firing and glazing clay at extreme temperatures, leaving a hard yet brittle substance that’s widely used in designing various items such as plates, cups, coasters, and so on.

Marble – Another commonly used material, marble brings a level of sophistication to your decor. It is also designed in a wide range of colour combinations and veining for many unique looks. However, real marble coasters can be expensive, so many people prefer plastic lookalikes instead.

Cork – This water-repellent material is quite light, extracted from the barks of cork oak trees. It is also an inexpensive material, aside from being quite buoyant and heat resistant. All these properties make it ideal for turning into coasters and similar tableware items.

Nestaire’s Beautifully Crafted Mother of Pearl Coasters

These coasters by Nestaire are both tasteful and functional:

Mother of Pearl Coasters Round

Serving trays are not something that got invented just a few decades ago, they go back centuries. The oldest serving tray in history is from around the 6th Century BCE – proving that ancient civilizations were also accustomed to tray culture.

Flat trays with no handles were popular during the Victorian age to serve the nobles and royals. They may be exclusive to riches back in the days but now they are a common household thing. 

Today we have decorative trays crafted and designed from the materials like wood, mother-of-pearl, plastic, acrylic, rattan, wood, and the list goes on. Some of us prefer minimalist designs while others prefer a decorative piece but no matter the preference, they are available in all shapes and sizes.

Popular Varieties of Serving Trays

Trays are not the most talked-about item, and they are often ignored. Besides serving drinks and beverages to the guests, they can also be used to transfer kitchen goods from one place to another. These underdogs can be great to add a pleasant touch to the table décor. 

So, if you are a décor freak, you can purchase a tray (or a bunch) that matches your interior and style. Intriguing, isn’t it? Now, wasting no time, let’s talk about the types –

1. Metallic Serving Trays 

One of the most durable trays is molded from metals. They are rigid-looking and hard to break; it’s because of these qualities they can carry heavy items. When we think about metals, we instantly think about their weight and heaviness. Modern alloys used in metal trays are lightweight at the same time highly durable. 

Stainless steel and aluminium metals are the most sought and preferred for decorative trays. You can never go wrong with metal trays. If you are buying some for your collection, then purchase premium-grade tableware because they last and shine longer.

2. Trays Carved from Wood

Trays Carved from WoodWooden trays are classy, appealing, and full of an earthly vibe. Many people love them because of their traditional look and finish. They can be used to serve tea, coffee, and drinks. You can also use them for serving soup in decorative bowls. They are very easy to carry and can last for many years. The price may vary but they are very affordable and cheap to purchase. So, you are looking for something traditional, wooden trays are perfect for you. 

3. Plastic Trays – Fast Food Trays 

Plastic trays are very common in cafeterias and public restaurants, and the best thing about plastic trays is that we can use them over and over. They are cheap and resistant to damage which makes them ideal for rigorous use. Because of environmental concerns, people avoid the use and purchase of plastic trays, but even then they are quite popular and easy to see. 

Plastic doesn’t only mean cheap and sturdy with no looks. You will be amazed to see the decorative trays collection in the shops. Whether it’s a wedding cake or a bunch of party drinks to deliver, this tray can do it with no hassle.

4. Special Tea Serving Trays 

Serving TraysTea is among the first beverage that is served to guests in most Commonwealth countries, Europe, and Australia. Serving tea is considered elite and regal, therefore, the cups and the tea serving trays are considered an important business. They are elegant and usually compact made from various materials such as plastic, metal, or wood. If you are a décor enthusiast, you can purchase the type and size based on the main theme of the house.

5. Trays with Compartments

Trays with compartments are easy to spot in households. They are a common sight and are mostly used for feeding various meals to kids. These trays can be simple as well as colorful with animal prints and cool designs. A standard tray usually has 5 compartments but the number might differ with the shape and size of the tray.

6. Trays for Appetizers 

Trays for appetizers is a specialized tray with multiple sections on the top. Such trays are quite common at parties and events where guests can use this for having a variety of snacks. 

If you are having a party in your house, you can put snacks and foods into the appetizers and the guests can pick and eat the things they want. These trays are a perfect companion for a house party with numerous people. Although they are not cheap, they are easy to clean, durable, and high in quality. 

Today, trays are not dull and a means to deliver drinks and beverages, they are now an important part of the home décor. Thankfully, there are so many options to mix and match with the theme of your choosing.

Decorative bowls are often among the most useful elements of tableware. However, they are also some of the most neglected ones. Most people don’t think a lot when buying one even when they finally decide to do so.

On the contrary, there are plenty of things to consider when buying serving bowls. That’s because all those things give the bowl certain features that make it useful for specific purposes, such as serving salads or desserts.

In this blog, we will talk about some types of serving and decorative bowls in terms of materials, purposes, and styles, as well as some tips to pick out the right ones for your needs.

Decorative Bowls: Which Material to Choose

Generally, decorative bowls are made using the following materials:

Plastic Bowls

  • Such bowls are cost-effective and widely used all over the world to store leftover food or serve foods such as cereals.
  • Some versions are microwave safe but not suitable for ovens.

Glass Bowls

  • Extremely popular and versatile bowls present in almost every home with the ability to serve nearly all types of food and drink items.
  • Although glass is quite affordable, simple to clean, and feels good to use, it is a fragile material. It is generally microwave and dishwasher safe.

Melamine Bowls

  • An inexpensive variety of bowls found in lots of colours, designs, and patterns.
  • This material is safer to use for children as it isn’t fragile. Melamine utensils also uplift the appearance of a dinner table.
  • Melamine is not microwave safe but it can be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Ceramic Bowls

  • Ceramic has plenty of advantages: it is tougher than glass, looks more attractive, and is even more versatile when it comes to serving food.
  • Not only can you use it as a fruit bowl, but you can also turn ceramic bowls into ornamental bowls to suit your purposes.
  • Ceramic bowls are both microwave and dishwasher safe.

Bamboo Bowls

  • Bamboo is also quite well-used in utensils. It stands apart due to its biodegradable and eco-friendly properties.
  • These are considered best for serving salads, but you’ll have to wash them by hand.

Stoneware Bowls

  • Stoneware is perfect for everyday use as it is quite durable.
  • This material has a unique appearance leading to different patterns and styles.
  • Stoneware is safe for use in dishwashers and microwave ovens.

Fine China Bowls

  • Fine china provides in grace what it lacks in strength, meaning it’s more fragile than glass but much more elegant as well.
  • People often use bowls, serving trays, and utensils made from fine china as decorative bowls, putting them up for display.
  • Fine China bowls are generally reserved for special occasions by many people.

Earthenware Bowls

  • Earthenware utensils impart a unique look, feel, and taste to food that is cooked and served in them.
  • Great for both serving and decorating, bowls made from this material are significantly durable and great for daily use.

Different Types of Utility and Decorative Bowls

From dry food items such as rice and appetizers to soup and gravy-based dishes, different serving bowls are ideal for different uses. Here are some tips to help you make the right use of the bowls you like:

  • Salad bowls: Big glass or wooden bowls that make salads look more visually appealing. A salad bowl is useful as a fruit bowl as well.

  • Rice bowls: Bowls with lids that are often included in dinner sets. These bowls can be used to keep any hot food warm.

  • Pasta bowls: These are designed a bit differently in comparison with other major serving bowls. Pasta bowls are useful for any kind of pasta – conchiglie, elbow, fettuccine, spaghetti, you name it – and are styled to provide a beautiful appearance to your dish.
  • Stew\Soup bowls: Used on a regular basis by most people for serving soups or soupy stews.

  • Dip bowls: Small, palm-sized bowls with a distinct, curved shape that makes them useful for serving dips, fondue, and chutneys. They also make tables and countertops more attractive during special occasions thanks to their sleek design.

  • Cereal bowls: Made mostly from glass, melamine, or ceramic, these are large and deep enough for a fulfilling bowl of breakfast energy.

  • Decorative bowls: These are available in a wide range of shapes, colour, designs, and sizes. Moreover, you can turn bowls made from any type of material into decorative bowls for your living space – your creative genius is bound to make great use of these bowls to make your coffee table, dining table, workspace table, bedside table, or any type of table or countertop look stylish and beautiful!

  • Storage bowls: These are sold with lids and are mostly made from plastic. They are available in several sizes to help store things to place in the fridge or on the countertop, but you can also use them as decoration bowls along with serving trays.

  • Candy bowls: Give guests a conversation-starter with delicious snacks and candy served in beautiful candy bowls made from any of the materials mentioned above: plastic, stoneware, ceramic, fine china, earthenware, glass, melamine, or even bamboo, depending on your aesthetic. These are extremely convenient to place on any table or surface you want, too!

Tissues are essential to our daily lives.  From the kitchen and bathroom to the living room and bedroom, a lot of us like keeping them within arm’s reach. While tissues are useful in more ways than we can imagine, tissue boxes aren’t much of a sight.

Besides, they aren’t durable enough to protect the tissues inside them. This in fact, is a major reason why people have started investing in a facial tissue box holder. Tissue box cover or holder may sound like a silly idea at first. But if you use an excessive amount of tissues, you will surely want to consider buying one. And if you’re already interested, we have a buying guide that you can follow.

Different Shapes of a Tissue Box Cover

Tissue boxes come up in different shapes and so do tissue box holders. Whether you’re buying online or straight from a store near you, here are the varied shapes you will come across:

Square

This Tissue box holder will have equal dimensions on all sides. It’s a practical choice for those looking for an elegant yet less-space-taking option.

Horizontal or Rectangular

Tissue Box Cover

We’ve all seen and used rectangular tissue boxes. A regular tissue box comes in a horizontal shape only and is actually the most preferred choice among homeowners. This is why you’ll come across a diverse range of tissue box holders in the same shape. It consumes more space than the square-shaped one but is perfect for large families, especially with kids. They’re simple to refill too.

Tower

A tower-like tissue box cover is relatively new and we think it’s the best one out there. The size is ideal for smaller tables such as your bedroom side table or make-up table. The  additional height makes it convenient for you to grab a tissue too – what else do you need?

We suggest applying glue on the bottom to fix the box holder to the table if you’re worried it will fall occasionally.

Facial Tissue Box Holder Standard Size

Tissue boxes come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The rectangular ones are the commonly used ones though.

To determine which tissue box holder size to purchase, you first need to consider where you want to place it. For instance, if you want to place it on the dinner table, you wouldn’t want the size to be too large that it takes up more space than other items on the table. Nestaire’s 143 mm x 143 mm x 141mm will be a perfect choice for you in that case.

Facial Tissue Box Holder Standard Size

This beautiful tissue box cover offers a glamorous appeal. It is covered with white pearl and brass on the outside and with posh Shaneel cloth on the inside.

It’s super easy to maintain as well. Just make use of a damp cloth to clean the tissue box holder (exterior) from time to time.

Varied Tissue Box Holder Materials

If you’re specifically looking for a facial tissue box holder– you’re most likely to stumble upon materials like cardboard, wood, and metal.

Out of the three, cardboard has the weakest frame which means it lasts as long as a general tissue box itself. The assortment of designs for these holders is humungous though. You can invest in multiple tissue box holders at once and change as and whenever you feel like.

The Wooden ones are a sturdy choice. They’re becoming increasingly popular these days and are a top choice among home-makers. The best thing about them is they’re easily available in both square and rectangular shapes, so you don’t have to compromise your choice. The bamboo tissue box covers in particular are super stunning and add a natural look to any place.

Last but not least are the Metal tissue box holders. These are a little on the costlier side but the style and chic they bring to the table are unrivaled. You must consider purchasing them if your budget allows, you wouldn’t want to go back to any other material after that.

Major Advantages of Coasters

A coaster is not there for just laying it down on the table and looking pretty, they are capable of offering a multitude of functions and features. Let’s get to know what coasters can do for you – 

Conveying the Message with Personalised Coasters

Coasters are very effective in sending subtle messages to the clients and the customers. That is the reason why most companies, restaurants, bars, and shops use those branded items on the table. Suppose, you are in a bar drinking and chilling with your buddies and there is a personalised coaster lying there silently.

No matter if you are an attentive kind or not, your sight eventually falls on that particular piece strategically placed by the owner. Marketers design them in such a way that it prints on the minds of the people. Indeed an effective strategy.

Keeps the Tables Spotless

The primary function of any coaster is to keep the table clean and free from any spots from drinks. That’s the whole purpose of their invention, right. You would not realize the effectiveness of them until or unless you start using them and make a habit. It can bring a drastic change to table decor and to the overall aesthetic around it.

Fun fact – using coasters can make your wooden tables last much longer than usual. If you are using the table for drinks like coffee or cold drinks can damage the integrity of the table through the process of condensation. Better to use a base at the bottom of copper mugs, coffee mugs, teacups to prevent the table from absorbing heat, cold, or moisture.

Designing the décor of your house involves setting up all the tables and similar flat-topped furniture with suitable accessories. Speaking of which, the dining room often has the biggest table in the house.

Accessorizing your dining table with something handmade, such as a gorgeous facial tissue box holder, however, will add a great touch anywhere you like.

Since it’s also a space where all the cohabitants get together for meals, you need to make sure it is welcoming and comfortable to spend time there at all times. Whether your dining corner involves the smallest of corners or is a dedicated, formal room that’s highly spacious, the dining table is almost always the focal point of this space.

Dining Table Designs with Elegant yet Useful Accessories

If you wish to design and accessorize your dining room and table with items like a serving tray, take a look at some of these popular trends going around these days for some décor inspiration:

Compact and Contemporary

Keep things light and modern with round tables that look sleek and come with chairs that are matching in colour. Round tables are great for smaller families and can be decorated with a beautiful tissue box cover containing a dining table essential.

Adjustable Dining Table Pattern

Smaller spaces are better manageable when you have furniture you can extend and contract according to need. For instance, adjustable dining tables that you can open when expecting guests for dinner and fold back in when not entertaining.

Cosy Country Style of Decor

Green brings a certain rustic charm with some shades that are worth experimenting with if you’re into the theme. You can also bring together mismatched chairs with a cabinet in the background that fits in with the colour scheme.

Nordic Minimalism

The Scandinavians hit the nail on the head each time when it comes to minimalistic furniture. From fabulous beechwood tables to wide-legged chairs and a beautiful fruit bowl, it doesn’t take much to create the perfect space for an amazing meal.

A Mish Mash of Chairs

There’s no rule that says you must have matching chairs for your table. Choosing the right combination of colours and shapes results in a charming assemblage for your whimsical dining room!

Try Going Natural

Sometimes, simple really is better, especially when it connects you with nature. In such cases, you can choose a plain table constructed from materials like solid pine, and have handcrafted chairs to go with it.

Select Bold Statement Pieces

Tables need not be the boldest feature in your dining room. You can also hang a pendant or mini chandelier to add a dramatic statement. Distinct pieces like these or a set of stylish chairs can help boost the style quotient.

Add Elegance to Your Dining Table

If you have a dining table with a curvilinear wooden base, try accessorizing it with items that exude elegance like hand-carved serving trays. It will complement your chairs while providing a delicate contrast to the table. A beautiful arrangement for a modern dining room & dining table designs indeed!

Glass for Added Class

Square tables with glass tops have been classic for decades now. Matched with chairs that present a contrast in terms of shape, it makes for a compact and light dining setting that is suitable for almost any type of space.

Of course, there’s never a single best combination when it comes to interior decoration. The ideas presented above are more like guidelines to help you create a unique design that’s perfect for your tastes.
