Want to shake things up like a Christmas snow globe? Try swapping your wood base for a stone version and going taller with a layer.

Clearly, there are no limits when it comes to board combinations you can create.  

THE LAYERED LOOK: DECORATING WITH BOARDS

The best thing about cutting boards – you know, behind they’re actual usefulness, which is always a great thing – is how they easily add a layer to any kitchen display. They’re thin enough to place with a second item, such as wall art, and they’re pretty enough to enhance the overall look and feel of the home.

There’s no way these beauties should be hiding inside a drawer! Stand one up for instant height variation or position it horizontally for a subtler second layer.

Placing your board flat on the shelf isn’t the worst idea. Look how it groups this candle trio together and gives this shelf display a lift.

If you’re like your friends at Down to Earth and you can’t stop at just one board, consider grouping your glorious collection together and making it art all on its own.

Keep size variety in mind. Smaller boards are great when creating a charcuterie for two. Long and lean is just right when serving French bread to the entire crew. Depending on your needs, Down to Earth has your bases covered.

Of course, variety is also the spice of life when it comes to bringing your shelves and other display areas to life. Having different shaped boards add interest and fun!

As you can see, cutting boards are anything but boring. They make interesting gifts AND enhance your own space. Cut. It. Out. No wonder we can’t get enough! Can you believe this is only a few of the MANY options currently available at Down to Earth?! Stop by and see for yourself and be the fav guest at your upcoming holiday shindigs.
