Design Idea – Wine Corks. Wine cork presentation is an easy way to add warmth and dimension. As with the bottles I mention in another post, the shape is pleasing to the eye. Corks are another interesting way to add round and curved shapes to a room, which isn’t easy. Natural cork is also not as prevalent as it once was, making the presentation almost a form of antiquing.
Here I show a few ways we use old bottles. In the first, I simply fill a clear vessel with corks and display them among other objects. In the second, I have taken the corks and created a custom cork board. The frame was built using remnant tongue and groove flooring and some thin plywood as the backing. One could just as easily use a store-bought new or vintage frame and some cardboard to create the structure and simply glue corks on as you see fit.
A special thanks to Chase for getting me the pics of the cork board.
