Home entertaining for those who love collecting and enjoying wine is taken to a new level when decorating with a sofa table with wine rack. Not only are these furniture pieces a convenient way of storing bottles but they're done so beautifully. Because they feature a plethora of styles, materials, and accents, it's possible to match them up with any decor ranging from contemporary to traditional.
For those who have an interest in displaying their wine collection, there are many different kinds of wine racks and storage tables from which to choose. Before you begin, it's essential to make some decisions regarding the sofa table with wine rack. Ask yourself the following:
- How many bottles does it need to accommodate? For those who enjoy occasional glasses of wine, capacities of eight to sixteen bottles could be ideal. However, avid collectors may need to accommodate up to fifty bottles.
- Why are you making this purchase? If you're purchasing this is a display piece for a collection or storing bottles you intend to use, answering this question will help with your ultimate buying decision.
- Do you need further accommodations? In addition to holding the bottles, do you need drawers or cupboard space in this sofa table with wine rack?
Some wine racks are strictly utilitarian while others have gorgeous design features. In the case of a sofa table with wine rack, you'll find they'll complement your living room decor well depending on your style. Here are some examples:
- Cottage Style: these wine racks feature weathered wood finishes coupled with two drawers and a farmhouse style.
- Contemporary: rich, dark tones in conjunction with bright metal accents and clean lines are optimal for the graceful look of contemporary design.
- Rustic: an all-wood construction featuring a chunky style gives this wine rack a custom look for homes featuring rustic style.
- Industrial: a thick wood slab complements the all-metal construction of the wine rack bottom giving this console an industrial appeal.
These wine racks work optimally as a multi-functioning accent table. Because they have placement behind the sofa, you can place lamps on them or other decorative elements. You can also place them against walls opposite your sofa and use them as a console table. There are a number of other applications for these tables including developing them into sideboards for food service, creating small bistro tables out of them, and using them as portable wet bars.
Ideally, to ensure your sofa table with wine rack will last for years, it should feature a hardwood frame construction coupled with metal for the rack. Under some circumstances, you’ll find the rack’s construction made from wood as well. However, it’s most commonly made from black iron. Many wine racks are made from MDF, which is a material made from gluing recycled wood fibers together. It's just as durable as hardwood but, under most circumstances, more affordable.
