Vintage bottle decor

Vintage bottles are awesome, and using them makes the interior cool and the idea is rather eco-friendly, don’t you think? How can you decorate your home with them? Here are some cool ideas.
1. Planters. Putting one stem in a bottle creates instant decor appeal. You can attach vintage soda bottles to some salvaged shutters to create wall planters. And outdoors you can wrap some twine or wire around the head of the bottle to create hanging planters
2. Candle stands. Use a bunch of different sizes to create a centerpiece arrangement. If you get larger bottles then you can place votive candles inside (fill them up with water to have floating candles).
3. Bathroom liquid and cosmetics containers. This way you can put them up on display. Like the soaps, lotions, perfumes, and other liquids in the bathrooms, do the same with liquids and detergent in a laundry room.
4. Kitchen liquids. If you go out and buy in bulk or large volumes, say hand soap or dish liquid, pour some into the glass bottles then store away the rest under the sink.
5. Great cups. If you find vintage glass bottles with lids, or create cork lids for them, you can use them to store homemade drinks or you could use them as serving containers.

There are a ton of home decor ideas using glass bottles that you can add to your list of projects.

I personally have a soft spot for glass bottles and using them for decorative purposes. Whether it be wine bottles, old beer or liquor bottles, you name it; I have an obsession.

Scattered throughout my home, I’ve got decorative bottles from thrift stores, super old bottles I bought secondhand from people, and an old mason jar I got from an abandoned home that’s filled with beach rocks and shells.

I use these glass bottles as decor all on their own, but you can also upcycle glass bottles into something even more amazing to give it a new purpose.

Repurposing glass bottles is perfect for anyone trying to live a more waste-free life or for anyone who simply loves DIY projects.

The best part?

The number of projects using glass bottles can be easy to achieve with a variety of bottles like wine and liquor bottles.

Here are some ideas to repurpose glass bottles into home decor.
