Decorate For A Wine Theme

Decorating with a wine theme gives your home a welcoming and elegant look.


A wine theme can give any room in your home a mature and elegant Tuscan-Mediterranean feel. Best in a room used for gatherings, such as a kitchen or a dining room, a wine theme creates a welcoming and relaxing environment for entertaining family and friends. With the use of green, purple and burgundy accent colors on a light color base, along with wine-related objects such as wine bottles, grapes and corks, you can create this theme quickly and easily. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Remove all items from the walls of the room you are decorating. Make sure you are starting with a blank slate and paint the walls with the terra cotta or warm beige paint. Choose your color based on the size of your room. If you are decorating a larger room, using a darker color will help keep your decorations from becoming lost in the space of the room. If you are decorating a smaller room, using the warm beige will help make the room appear larger.


2. Bring all furniture back into the room once the paint has dried completely. Make sure the furniture is set up exactly how you like it so you can decorate around the main furniture pieces.


3. Hang all wall pieces once the furniture is in place. Any wrought iron decor, pictures or tapestries of vineyards or wine bottles, or wine cork wreaths are appropriate for this theme. Do not hang too much on the walls, however, or it will create a cluttered feeling in the room.


4. Drape the artificial vines over the tallest piece of furniture in the room, such as a tall bookcase. If you do not have a tall enough piece of furniture, arrange the vines over a doorway or around windows. Place smaller pieces of the vines on shelves, next to pictures or in any small area in the room.


5. Place three wine bottles onto a gold decorative plate on a dining table, coffee table or end table and arrange some of the vines and two of the grape bunches around the bottles as a final decoration centerpiece for the room. Place any extra grape bunches next to the small pieces of vines around the room to complete the look.
