The purpose of a wine rack is to properly store your favored vintage so that the cork stays in sustained contact with the wine inside the bottle instead of becoming mildewed or drying up. But far from the functional wood racks used by wine merchants and owners of grand wine cellars, wine racks in splendid wrought iron or wood can bestow panache to the décor of a kitchen, dining room or entertainment room. And whether your preferences run to the up-to-date  style, or to the romantic Tuscan or Old World French style, you will find a wine rack that will bring some pizazz to your interior.

A great bonus for the wall mounted wine rack alternatives on the market is that they do not take up precious counter space but they are extremely ornamental for the wall. And keep in mind that they can be mounted on any upright area, like the end of an upper cabinet or a narrow wall between the kitchen and dining area, taking full advantage of of ‘dead’ space.

You can enhance your wall and produce a solid focal point with these two ideas for mounting your wine rack.

Focal Point in a Home Bar.

In place of old-fashioned race car posters and beer signs used for wall decor art, why not bring some worldliness and style to the area? Produce a focal point on a large wall with a three wall mounted wine racks. Place them in a triangular formation, displaying the middle rack higher than the other two. Then position some other piece of wall art beneath the center wine rack. For a Tuscan feel, pick out a beautiful painting or framed print of a trattoria surrounded in a stunning piazza or wrought iron Tuscan sun wall art. Or make a decoupage using labels from your favorite wines, mounted on foam board and then stylishly bordered. Wineries often stock larger posters of unique or annually issued vintages. These posters are desirable for framing and tie in intimately with your wall mounted wine rack.  Top it all off by adding a few hanging pendant lights to light the grouping.

Dining Room in French Rustic Style.

Classic French toile patterns and an exquisite wrought iron wall mounted wine rack work in harmony to channel your dining room to the magnificent French countryside. Walls that are finished or papered in modern shades of warm yellow or sky blue and trimmed in buttery cream provide a perfect backdrop. Create a focal point above a server with a black wrought iron wall mounted wine rack. Beside it, position a grouping of plates and platters positioned on the wall with various plate hangers in French rustic motifs like sunflowers or roosters. A black wrought iron chandelier that is equipped with individual bulb shades in a black and white checkered pattern delivers the theme upward. Supply black and white toile chair cushions to make this room elegantly extraordinary. Finish off the presentation by adding white clayware on a black hutch and positioning a bowl of grapes and other fruits on a sideboard.
