European mounts can add a touch of rustic charm and sophistication to any space. Let’s explore some creative ideas to incorporate these stunning displays into your home decor.
1. Vintage License Plate Display
Pairing your mount with vintage license plates can create a unique, eclectic look. I tried this in my own home and the combination of textures always gets compliments. The mix of patinas and colors really draws the eye and adds a touch of Americana. I think it is a great way to honor both the animal and the history of the area it came from.
Items that may come in handy:
- Wall Mount Kit for European Mounts: Enhance your display with a sturdy mount kit, ensuring secure and stylish wall placement.
- Vintage License Plate Set: Add character to your wall display with a collection of authentic vintage license plates.
- Rustic Wood Display Shelf: Complement your wall art with a rustic wood shelf for added charm and storage.
2. Embedded in a Bookcase
Nestling your mount within a bookcase can integrate it seamlessly into your decor. I did this in my living room and it adds an unexpected element of surprise. This works especially well if you have a collection of natural history books or artifacts nearby. I find that it sparks interesting conversations with guests who visit.
Some ideas to consider:
- Adjustable Accent Lighting for Shelves: Highlight your mount creatively by adding adjustable accent lights to the bookcase shelves.
- Decorative Bookends: Add stylish bookends to frame your collection and enhance the bookcase’s aesthetic appeal.
- Floating Shelves for Display: Use floating shelves to display small decor pieces alongside your mount for added impact.
3. Floating Shelf Display
Displaying your mount on a floating shelf creates a clean, airy look. It’s an elegant way to showcase without overwhelming the space. The minimalist approach lets the natural beauty of the skull shine through, unburdened by excessive ornamentation. I appreciate how easily this style adapts to different interior design themes.

- Minimalist Floating Shelf: Elevate your mount with a sleek shelf, creating a modern and space-saving display solution.
- Heavy-Duty Wall Anchors: Securely mount your shelf for added stability and confidence in your display arrangement.
- Accent Lighting Kit: Highlight your mount elegantly with customizable lighting to enhance its impact in any room.
4. Natural Wooden Backdrop
There’s something timeless about displaying a European mount on a simple wooden board. I once used reclaimed barn wood for a mount, and it brought such warmth and character to the room. The imperfections and weathering of the wood tell their own story, adding another layer of depth to the display. In my experience, clients are often drawn to the authenticity and history that reclaimed wood brings.

5. Custom Shadow Box
Enclose your mount in a custom shadow box for a museum-like display. I created one with glass sides, and it truly elevates the presentation. This method not only protects the mount from dust and damage but also highlights its intricate details. I felt a great sense of accomplishment after completing the project, knowing it would be a treasured piece for years to come.
