As I peruse my favorite blogs, read design magazines and simply go about my daily life, whatever I have found at the markets for Linen Haus the past weekend is often top of mind. Since I have been finding a lot of beautiful vintage bottles recently, I naturally noticed how often bottles are used in gorgeous rooms. Let's take a look at a few examples together:

They are ideal for filling that awkward space above an armoire...
and in this case add a bit of color.

These bottles give off such a great "old pharmacy" look.
The ideal advertisement for how to use vintage Linen Haus products in a modern day interior - an old olive oil bottle and dough bowl. I think this looks absolutely beautiful!
The archaeological feel of these bottles make such an elegant collection on this mantel.

One large bottle stands on its own in this curiosities-filled landing area.

This entry, featured in the latest issues of Lonny Magazine, makes a stunning statement with the oversized bottle as the centerpiece.

Ekster Antiques |
There are so many elements to admire in this French space! The glass bottle gives it some shine and adds one more texture to the vignette. Beautiful!

Lisa Luby |
They blend beautifully with other glassware, beach inspired items and sentimental objects.

This display cabinet is the perfect spot for a grouping of vintage seltzer bottles.

Napa Style |
What a welcoming way to light up your front steps at your next dinner party. :)

Such a fun color!

If the shapes are interesting, they look great simply sitting empty on an island like this one.

They are also beautiful used as vases.
The use of beakers combined with the bottles is clever, and adding the greenery is simple and beautiful.
Do you like to use bottles in decor? If so, how do you use them?
Lovely ideas! I love bottles grouped and left empty, although the large ones look lovely just on their own. I'm intrigued by the Napa Style pic - I suppose they cut the bottoms off the bottles! Have a great week. x Sharon

Hello my sweet Barbara.
ReplyDeleteDid you have a good weekend?
I don't use bottles, but I will, after seeing this gorgeous post of yours. I think they can bring so much interest and color.
Many blessings to this new week!

I am a huge fan of bottle collections, especially antique bottles. I love the napa style on the stairs but I really have to know how they got the bottom off the bottles???
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with vintage bottles...we have several similar to some I see in these images in our store. Great images. It's always nice for people to see how to incorporate the elements, and these are some fabulous rooms. Mona
ReplyDeleteI love the old tinted bottles--pharmacy, seltzer, wine--especially when the colors play off similar colors in the design scheme. thanks. Mary
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't have to dust them weekly, I would have these beautiful bottles all over my house! I love the big empty bottles in the Steven Gambrel kitchen (LOVE that kitchen in general!)
ReplyDeleteYou have a huge fan here. And goodness, these are pretty images.
