Wine Labels are a great place for inspiration. They are like little packets of design with big punch. Over Christmas I had the great pleasure of trying a new wine. To be quite honest I had never seen or heard of this particular wine. I had chosen a couple of bottles that I had gone in for and made my way to the cash. While standing in line I noticed a wine that the store was showcasing on the cash counter. I saw the label and fell for it immediately. Yes my friends I said it- I bought a bottle of wine because I loved the label!! That wine was:
I mean, look at that label! Look at the scrolly (is that a word?) "A". I just loved the colour combination as well. So I bought the wine that went with that lovely label. I will have to say that it is one of the most flavourful wines I have ever had. I loved it! Now, I am no wine expert but I do know what I like and I what I don't like. And I really liked this wine!
Anyways, I got to thinking about wine labels in general and how amazing a lot of them are. So I thought what a great way to have them inspire the design of a room. Here is what I would put together for a room that was inspired by "Apothic Red":
Sofa: Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams
Chair:Ralph Lauren
Console: Elte
Fabric: Robert Allen
Fabric 1
Fabric 2
Fabric 3
Side Table: Elte
Table Lamps: DWR
Chandelier: DWR
Framed Black & White Prints: Art.com
Rug: Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams
Coffee Table: Ethan Allen
Sconces: Union Lighting and Furnishings
Wallpaper for Coffered Ceiling: Graham and Brown
Paint: Wall/Coffered Ceiling- High Gloss, Benjamin Moore 2120-30 Witching Hour
Trim- High Gloss, Benjamin Moore OC 17 White Dove
Ottoman: Urban Home
Stars: DWR
I am sure that I could have gone in the direction of "Vampire Chic". That would be the obvious choice what with the black and red. It would have had a "Bordello" feel to it! However I wanted to do something a little more sophisticated and masculine feeling in the room.
I have always wanted to coffer a ceiling and have wallpaper inset. I think the combination of the wallpaper chosen and the dark paint colour really helps to set the mood.
Hope you enjoyed. Have a great day.
