Kitchen Decorating Ideas With Olive Oil Bottles

Candle Display

• Make your olive oil display part of your kitchen lighting plan by crafting a candle display. Save old olive oil bottles of various sizes and heights. After collecting several different bottles, measure the mouth of each and purchase candles to fit into each opening. Seek candles in hues that fit with your kitchen decor but avoid scented candles, as using candles with aroma around food is a poor choice. Place your candles in your emptied and washed bottles and then arrange them in the center of your kitchen island or against your backsplash, lighting them when company comes.

Colored Waters

• Give your clear olive oil bottles a more engaging look by filling them with colored water. Carefully wash your bottles in hot, soapy water to ensure that all olive oil residue has been removed. Next, mix colored water in various hues using food coloring to tint the liquid. Fill your bottles with water in various hues then arrange them in a place where the sun will hit them, such as on your window sill, to enhance the beauty of the space.

Herb-Filled Bottles

• If your kitchen features natural and earthy colors, make your olive oil display no exception. Purchase olive oils with herbs in them and display these less-common infused oils around your space. Place these attractive olive oils atop your cabinets or on shelves, positioning them near pictures of herbs or tiles painted with different herb varieties on them. Because of the viscous nature of olive oil, these herbs will stay suspended in the oil, making them an attractive site to behold.

Decorative Painting

• Dress your bottles up a bit, turning them into mini works of art to display in your space. After cleaning your used olive oil bottles, use glass paint to add vines, flowers or any other details that fit with your decor Allow your paint to dry and then arrange your bottles in a highly visible place, such as in the center of your table, to allow others to admire your handiwork.
