Something as simple as a few glass bottles with a couple blooms can be a perfect way to style a mantel, shelf or table without overwhelming it.
I am not big on overly decorated spaces so for me- simple is best and that is one of the reasons I love bottles for decorating. I have been collecting bottles in various shapes and sizes for awhile now. Number one- they are easy and inexpensive at the thrift store and sometimes at antique markets depending on the colors and sizes.
I thought that I would share 5 of my favorite ways to use vintage bottles in decor especially since I am shopping for a few more to add to my collection.
#1 Table Settings
A single small bottle on each dish is a perfect touch for a dinner party.
#2. Groupings of dainty delights
Grouped together in a vignette on a table
A grouping on vintage glass and bottles on a silver tray was a perfect addition to the coffee table bench for a charming display. Technically it’s more glasses than bottles- but the concept is the same and I love them.
#3. Mantel Decor
Grouped together on a mantel
Blue bottles filled with colorful blooms on the mantel? Yes, please.
Or simply just by themselves with books for a more rustic display- or maybe a few clear glass inkwells and bottles for Spring
#4. Tucked into a Crate
A collection of jars and bottles in a rustic crate is a perfect centerpiece
#5. Grouped together
Group like colors, sizes, etc together on a shelf or table for subtle impact which is a great way to incorporate your favorite collection in a room.
