Some Creative Ways to Use Coconut Bowls

A coconut bowl is one of the most beautiful additions to your collection of decorative dishes. But did you know that there’s so much more that you can do with this tropical piece of art?  

Here are some ways you can use and enjoy your coconut bowls:

Out of the Kitchen

Normally, the word ‘bowl’ is associated with the kitchen. But there are many uses for our coconut bowls outside the heart of the home.

Decorative Pieces of Home Décor

How do you turn your house into a home? By making it your own! A great way to anchor your space is to add earthy elements to your home. The deep brown tones and organic shape of our coconut bowls are excellent centerpieces to display on your mantle. 

You can stack up different sizes of the coconut bowls to create a tower-like decor for your living room. For an even more tropical vibe, you can let it sit next to your indoor plants. Another thing you can do is to turn them into potpourri holders for a lovely addition to your powder rooms to freshen them up.

If you’re into things that are a little more vibrant, you have the option of painting your bowls. A beautiful sunflower yellow or relaxing teal will bring some life into your house—not to mention that it’s a great conversation piece for guests to talk about when you have them over. Or, you can take it up a notch and bedazzle your shells! It can double as a DIY activity for bored kids at home. 

Get creative; the possibilities are endless when it comes to finding ways to use our rainforest coconut bowls as home decor.

Terrarium Base for Your Plant Babies

Most terrariums are constructed with glass jars as their base, particularly for plants that require high moisture content in their soil. But, you can work your way around it by choosing low-maintenance plants like succulents that thrive in gravel, making them ideal for planting in coconut bowls. 

To give you more of that terrarium feel, you can always top your coconut bowl with a glass dome that fits right on top. Just be sure to allow your terrarium to breathe every couple of days to ensure that moisture doesn’t build up inside the glass.

Leave the glass tops out of the equation and leave it plain and simple. Coconut bowl pots are all the rage right now, particularly among the vegan community. The more organic something looks and feels, the better. A coconut planter can be used both in and outdoors, although we would suggest that you purchase the original coconut bowls because the varnish will protect your bowls from gravel or water damage. 

For the most part, maintaining a coconut bowl planter or terrarium is much easier than keeping your plants in glass because you have the option to create your own drainage system. Drill a couple of holes into the bottom of the shells or poke some through with a hammer and nails.

Burning the Midnight Oil

Long before we had the luxury of lights, our forefathers burnt the midnight oil to make it through the dark. Of course, you don’t need to do that anymore, but it’s nice to have ambient lighting to set the mood. How nice would it be to have a romantic candlelit dinner? And why not add an interesting tropical touch to it by using a coconut bowl as your candle holder?

You’ve heard of coconut-scented candles, but how about a coconut shell bowl candle? Aside from the fact that a scented candle inside a coconut bowl looks absolutely beautiful, it’s also easier to handle than candles that melt into a glass container. 

However, coconut bowls are flammable, especially if they’re polished with oil. These decorative candles should only be used during dinner time to set the mood. Don’t let them sit out for too long—blow them out immediately. 

To stabilize your bowl, put it on a bowl stand if you have one at your disposal. If you don’t, you can always choose the option of gluing the bowl to any flat surface.

After use, peel the leftover wax out of the container. You don’t even have to worry about it leaving any residue or skid marks. 

Some people aren’t into paraffin because it can be invasive or irritating if you’re sensitive to strong scents, so what you can do is to create a floating candle. Fill the coconut bowl halfway through with water and halfway with oil, stick a wick in it, and light it up. 

A natural alternative to the scented candles is to drop a few drops of your favorite essential oils into the liquid to diffuse the scent subtly.

Party Favors and Gift Baskets

Your party will be the talk of the town with these coconut bowl party favors. Whether you’re throwing a beach-themed fifth birthday party or a luau to celebrate your first wedding anniversary, your guests will surely enjoy this unique giveaway. You can fill the coconut bowls with your favorite healthy treats and tie them up with ribbons as a thank-you-for-being-here-tonight token, similar to a Halloween bucket but better. 

For a more mature and exciting party, put two shells together, so they look like fresh coconuts. Sneak your favorite tiny bottles of liquor and best snapshots of the night for your guests to remember your party by.

Take it up a notch with a build-a-bowl party favor. Lay your party favors out on a table and allow your guests to create their own goody bags. That way, everyone gets what they want, and you don’t have to worry about that part of the after-party clean up. This favor is both low-maintenance and impressive.

On the flip side, if you’re not throwing the party, you can always bring the coconut bowls as a gift for your dearest friends. Spread the coco-love and get your friends a set of bowls. We guarantee you that they’ll be dying to open your present and decorate their kitchens with them.

In the Heart of the Home

And of course, coconut bowls serve their purpose in the kitchen and not just for sticky mango rice.

Serving Bowls for Your Favorite Dishes

One pro of eating from coconut serving bowls is that you’re compelled to eat healthier. The bowls give off a fresh vibe that radiates into your food choices. And it makes your salad bowls way more exciting. 

Part of what makes food so enticing to eat is how they’re plated; food is an all sensory experience, so eat with your eyes. Think poke bowl meets garden freshness. 

Mixing, Measuring Cups, and Meal Prep Bowls

Every good home cook knows to measure out their ingredients before anything hits the pan. Doing so adds a layer of professionalism to your cooking skill and makes the process a lot less stressful. 

Have you ever noticed that every cooking show you watched features pre-measured ingredients arranged neatly in different sized bowls? Do the same at home except with our coconut bowls.

As we’ve mentioned earlier, our coconut bowls come in different sizes. If you don’t have any measuring cups on hand, you can approximate ingredients with the different sizes of coconut bowls. You can also turn the shells into mixing bowls like when you’re whisking together your best breakfast omelet or whipping up some tasty vegan bowls. 

If you’d like, you can even use your coconut bowls as meal prep or dry food containers. But beware, these bowls don’t bode well with hot food. They shouldn’t be subjected to extreme temperatures, so resist the urge to put them in the fridge or in the oven.  

Also, keep in mind that while coconut bowls are water-resistant, they shouldn’t be submerged for too long.
