Do you have a sunny spot in your home to take advantage of? Consider using glass bottles to accentuate that spot. You can place colored bottles in sunny windowsill or on shelves near sunlight for an attractive, unique, and bright touch to your decor.

USING BOTTLES FOR BALANCE

You can choose colors that balance out, match, or complement your decor, I've even seen different sized bottles arranged in a rainbow pattern for a full color effect. If you have a modern black, white, and/or grey room, consider placing a brightly colored bottle on a table or in a windowsill to balance that out. Natural colors like greens, blues, and browns are recommended in fend shui decorating, and adding accessories in these colors is thought of as a great way to bring harmony to your home. If you choose your colors well, these are sure to be a real eye-catcher for any room.

Many contemporary glass blown bottles are made specifically for design rather than use, and they often come with engravings on them. These not only make brilliant home accessories, but are ofen valuable collectibles and art pieces.
