You don't have to be a royal to indulge in this glamorous trend. When it comes to home decor, crowns have been popping up in every room of the house. They add the perfect mix of elegance and formality to any living space, indoor or outdoor. They can draw on design elements from Buckingham Palace or Versailles, or even the Taj Mahal, meaning you can live like royalty, even if you don’t live in a palace.

Crown Planters

Recreating the grounds at Versailles may be out of your reach, but these unique Metal Crown Planters ($80/set of three) add a touch of nobility to humble horticulture. Editor's tip: Petunias (in a royal purple) thrive in pots and soak up the sun.

The Royal Torch

Candleholders are the easiest way to introduce new trends into your home without making a huge investment. Whether perched on a mantle, down the centre of a table or used as coffee table decor, these Handmade Beaded Metal Crown Votive Holders ($42-$48) bring a majestic ambiance to the mix.

Crown-Chandelier

A Glowing Reception

This Regal French Chandelier ($279) will welcome you with open arms. Whether in an entryway or over a dining table, the rustic touch of iron adds warmth, while the fleur-de-lis accents create an air of elegance that no home should go without.

Crown-Mirror

Fit For a Queen

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? One look in this antique-inspired Argentinian Crown Mirror ($659) with ornate detailing will answer your question. Just don't let it go to your head.

Crown-Headboard

Head of State

Crown decor doesn't have to be so literal. Pay homage to the royal emblem as you nod off with a stylish headboard fit for a queen. This cushioned Crate and Barrel Crown Queen Headboard ($1134) is elegant and simplistic; it makes a subtle statement, while blending seamlessly with current trends.

What do you think of the crown trend? Love it or leave it?
