Wine Bottles as Wine Decor

Savor your bottle of red or white blend up to the last drop. And then, what do you plan to do with the empty bottle. The most logical thing to do is use this as part of your wine décor efforts. Liven up your kitchen by letting loose your creative juices via a do-it-yourself approach instead of spending money for the services of an interior decorator.

How do you begin?

•       Think of an enticing but simple design. It does not have to be very complicated. You can start with the walls. Use paint color that resembles old European themes. If there is enough space, think of the possibility of mounting dark-colored wooden rafters above for a more unique look.
•       Shop around for rural furnishings made of hardwood and wrought iron to augment the wine country atmosphere. Find a table and benches made of timber rather than purchase sophisticated and expensive dining fixtures. Do away with traditional storage and consider erecting open kitchen cabinets where you can place dishes and glassware. Your furniture must blend with the natural and basic motif.
•       Another way of sprucing up your kitchen with distinct wine décor is through a simplistic bottle design variety that matches your individual style and budget. Display your wine bottles from previous occasions such as weddings, birthday parties and anniversaries. Or, try to recall the Paper-Mache craft that can convert your bottles into wonderful accent pieces. There is also a Tuscan design method where you stick colorful beads all around your wine bottle.
•       Arrange your wine accessories and bottles in strategic locations to create a special wine ambiance. Line up the bottles on top of the kitchen cupboards, wine bar or counter tops.
•       Place the wine cork candle in the mouth of wine bottles. Actually, the cork is just a look-alike and in reality, it is regular candle wax. The candle can burn for two hours.
•       Putting on wine wall paper is also a bright idea. Look for beautiful varieties from known manufacturers or suppliers.
•       It is also possible to turn bottles into exceptional lighting pieces and highlight your ecological-friendly living status. Look for chandeliers and other light accessories in flea markets, thrift shops and home sections of department stores. Fasten the bottles to the light bases before hanging. You have the choice of leaving the labels on. Otherwise, soak and take these off for a glossy effect.

Play around with your wine décor ideas. The fact is the wine bottle theme can be very simple or more highly structured. It depends on your desires. Try to work on a weekend when you are more relaxed and there are no serious concerns to take care of. You really do not have to spend a fortune so why worry.
