Skulls

Buying decorative skulls is not just for Halloween anymore. In fact, they are among the few elements that can be used to decorate environments throughout the year. Although, it is true that Halloween skulls continue to be a reference during this season.

If you like skulls, it’s important to know where to buy skull items and how to decorate with skulls, since they have become fashionable elements and it is not unusual to find them in interior design.

Add a Gothic Touch to Your Home by Buying a Skull

Having skull items is no longer exclusive to the Gothic world, but anyone can have them in their home as an additional decorative element. As we know, the Gothic world advocates a return to origins, emotions, duality, mystery, and death as symbols of beauty. Therefore, decorative skulls are the best expression of all these elements.

But it’s not necessary to paint the walls black and hang gruesome elements. Beauty is a balanced element where, for example, buying decorative skulls in a natural tone can be a complementary decoration for a shelf. The skull manages to give a unique and deep touch to the style of your home.

Where to Buy Skull Items?

At Les Morts, you will find many skull items in our online store. Next, we are going to point out some home accessories where we will find skulls as a decorative element:

Jewellery / Cameos

Jewellery does not apply to home decor, but they are accessories that are part of our usual attire. Skull or insect jewellery allows a very interesting contrast with our look, giving it that dark and wild touch that, more or less, attracts everyone.

Skull frame

A less permanent way to decorate the wall with skulls is to use paintings of different types, designs and sizes. This way, it is easier to change their location depending on the decoration of each room or to replace them with other designs from Les Morts without damaging the wall.

Plant Pots

An element of obvious contrast that combines death and life, where a skull plant pot can include plants or flowers. We can find skulls with very chic decorations and vibrant colours, where the death reflected by the skull enters into perfect combination and contrast with the natural plant and a decoration that amazes with its designs.

Textiles

Home textile accessories can be printed with all kinds of motifs and skulls are one of them. If we prefer a more minimalist style, we can incorporate a single skull or opt for a pattern of them.

Bookends

A perfect way to decorate the library is to use bookends with sculptural shapes and here would also enter the skull as a human shape. Whether to hold books horizontally or vertically.

Designer Lamps

To illuminate the rooms, we can also use skull decoration. Whether in a ceiling lamp, wall sconces or bedside lamps. Without a doubt, they give that original touch to the rooms and we can find them in silver, gold or natural imitation shades.

Skull Designs for Decoration

Skulls, throughout history, have not only been a symbol of death, but also a representation of fate and mystery. Decorating with skulls do not go unnoticed, so we can include them as sculptures anywhere in the house. Buying decorative skulls is not only valid for teenagers’ rooms, but they can also give a touch of style to the whole house:

• White, black or transparent skulls to create contemporary environments.
• Coloured ones are ideal when you want the eyes to focus on them, whether in indoor or outdoor rooms.
• Golden and metallic skulls to achieve a chic, elegant and sophisticated effect.

We can combine skulls with elements that reflect life and nature, creating the perfect symbiosis in decoration. An example is to get pots decorated for natural plants pot or skulls painted with natural details.

Designs that Never Go Out of Fashion, Candy Skulls and Catrinas

The Catrina skull, also known as the garbancera skull, is a character created by illustrator José Guadalupe Posada and its name comes from muralist Diego Rivera. It was born as a social critique and soon became a popular symbol of death, we can even see them on the Day of the Dead with ease.

The Catrina is represented as the skeleton of a lady with a skull painted in striking colours and with period clothing. Even in recent years, we can see them with a headdress in the style of Frida Kahlo.

As for sugar skulls painted with multiple colours, they are made to represent death in a more cheerful way and as a decorative element, not only for Halloween, but as a fashion trend that we can see in clothing and in the home.

For all these reasons, we offer you sugar skulls to give a colourful and beautiful touch to your home, full of colour and that will combine with any type of decoration style that we have at home.

Decoration with Animal Skulls

Before fully entering this section, we have to add that we do not accept animal cruelty and that all natural skulls are obtained without any animal having been harmed for it. Having said all this, now we move on to talk a little about animal skulls.

Animal skulls with horns have also gained their prominence within decoration to give a wilder and natural touch to the decorative style of the home. We can use them in both interior and exterior styles and, as in the case of skulls, we can find them in multiple textile formats and in objects for all types of uses. Some animal skulls that we can find are from birds that give that animalistic and decorative touch for any type of decoration, among others.

Similarly, it is not exactly a skull, but we also offer in our online store moths as decorative objects for paintings and clocks. Moths seem to be the ugly duckling of butterflies, but they also have their beauty, especially in artisanal elements.

In our online store, you can find everything you need in relation to skulls if you like to include them within your home decoration. Enter and discover all that we can offer you. You can contact Les Morts for any query or doubt.
