When you take on a project to build a wine rack, you want to make sure that it is both functional and decorative. They say that things are bigger and better in Texas, so why not build a wine rack with a Texas-inspired theme. With such a rich culture, there are numerous themes from which you can choose.
Old West
It might be a stereotype that everyone in Texas rides horses, but horseshoe decor has always been a popular design material in this great state. The U-shape creates a rustic look that is a perfect fit for resting wine bottles. You can use horseshoes on just the ends of the rack or use a whole row in which the bottles can rest. To make it even more authentic, used horseshoes can easily be found at flea markets or online. Not only are you recycling, but you can build a wine rack with a true Texas flair.
The Lone Star State
As a Texan, whether a native or someone who moved here as soon as you could, you are taught to be proud to live in the Lone Star State. For centuries, stars have been represented in Texas designs. Like the horseshoe, a star is a perfect shape in which to rest a wine bottle. With all shapes, sizes, materials, and finishes, you can find a style for your wine bottles that reflects your personal taste.
Native Wood
There are several trees native to Texas that make beautiful and practical wine racks. To add even more originality to that idea, use an old wine barrel to build a wine rack. One wood that is native to Texas and makes a beautiful wine rack is mahogany. As a hard wood, it is built to last. It is not prone to rotting and doesn’t give off odors that can seep through the cork and ruin your wine. Taking an old wine barrel and converting it into a wine rack is an inexpensive and creative use of Texas design ideas.
Meaning and Flair
With such a diverse culture, there are many ways you can build a wine rack that honors the state of Texas and allows you enjoy some of the fine wines that Texas wineries have to offer. By building your own wine rack, you are guaranteed to have a design that fits perfectly with your taste and personality and one that represents this great state.
