Sustainable Home Décor defining your Space
Our homes are reflections of who we are. They display our creativity, our passions, and our personalities. Though finding the right furniture, paint colors, textiles, and fixtures creates the look and feel we aspire to displaying, adding accent pieces and decorative items can have an amazing impact on the look we are trying to create.

Starting with a concept
For the sake of argument let’s place the context into the theme of wine: many people are wine lovers, and accenting a room by displaying one’s love for wine is a popular trend in today’s interior design world. Wine bottles can be used in everything from designing a reading lamp, to a candleholder. They can even be made into decorative wall art. But incorporating them into practical items that one displays in their home and uses everyday is a challenge unto itself. Refresh glass Wine Bottle Glasses offer an exciting way to achieve a unique look that expresses your style, while offering a practical service. Better yet, they are recycled.

Deconstruction
Elements of home décor can be regarded as a philosophical movement that questions the traditional assumptions about the item. When we look at wine bottles we think of wine glasses. We may even think of the “French country” look, and view an empty wine bottle as a flower vase. But when a company taken an item with a common set of assumptions and deconstructs the object and therefore our view of the item, they can be rendered as useful things like scotch glasses or glasses for drinking soft drinks and juices. This creates a psychological phenomenon that triggers intrigue: our brains recognize the objects as wine bottles, and the fact that the bottles have been turned into glasses triggers our brains and we form associations. However, the “expected” object is not of the type that one would normally assume to view (a wine glass). Therefore the familiar and unfamiliar merge into one and create an artistic crisis in our creative unconscious that delights our conscious perception.

An accent for every room
If you think drinking glasses only belong in the kitchen cupboard your view may change after seeing what a wine bottle looks like after it has been transformed into a drinking glass. In fact, crafts with wine bottles is a topic featured in an article by favecrafts.com and they rank transforming a wine bottle into a drinking glass as being one of the top 10 craft ideas that utilize wine bottles as the subject matter. Aside from displaying these glasses in your kitchen, set one on the counter in your bathroom and add bath salts to it or a bar of hand soap. Set your patio table for staging purposes and use these glasses to create a fun and artistic ambiance.

Step outside the cookie cutter look
We all have drinking glasses, and there are many glasses out there with interesting shapes and designs that you don’t see in every household. However, by embracing a common object that has been deconstructed, your home and its atmosphere will beam with originality when little elements of décor such as these are added to the space.
