If you know someone who is interested in airplanes, model making and displaying, or loves to fly, airplane propeller decoration offers many opportunities for gifts. If you’re the type, you’ll be spoiled for choice with single, twin, triple and quad propellers. Add posters, framed pictures and wall art for coordinated decor that fits an aviation theme or even a nautical theme. Somehow the idea of flying is always inspiring, whether it’s a bird or an airplane.
Single/double bladed propeller
These are often three to four feet long, making them great for highlighting a skyscape of flying machines. They can also be used to make a statement in a narrow wall space that would otherwise be empty. Because the originals were different colors, these elaborate replicas are also available in other colors. They can be made of wood or metal. Make sure you have some clearance from the surface as these are 3 dimensional.
Triple and quadruple propellers
Not all propellers were one long piece with blades at each end. Some had three blades, some even four. As propeller blades spin, they appear to multiply until they blur into a circle of motion. Artistic renderings of these blades combine realism with fantasy, and the use of color and distress.
Framed photos, paintings and murals
The combination of decorative propeller blades with photos, paintings and murals creates a unified theme for room decoration. Add a few ropes and props, beach chairs and maybe a seagull or two for a look reminiscent of the English Channel or the shores of New England, where successful flight was tested and eventually achieved. Below are ten decorating ideas for anyone who loves to fly. The propellers, paintings and mural are inspiration for your aviation interior. There might even be a boat propeller or two. Sea and sky blend very well, especially small planes sailing across the wide sea into that wide blue yonder. Admire these decorations and let yourself dream of distant places, achievements and stories of brave deeds.
