Oak Barrels for Interior Designing

Every barrel which is used for preparing beverages do have a particular life time after which they are not useful for the preparation of any kind of beverages. Those age old barrels are used for multiple purposes even at home or at any place. But prior to using them, they have to be properly cleaned and sterilized to get rid of any fungal and bacterial infections. Barrels made up of different kinds of materials will be available for us in the market. They might be made up of wood, steel, plastic or cement. This variation in the material helps us to use it for different decorative purposes.

In general, the traditional design of wooden barrels it self gives an ethnic look to them. When they are used as interior designing pieces, they definitely look like some master pieces of art. So, let us have a look on the different ways of decoration which we can do with barrels.

• Wine barrels can be used directly with their old rustic look to give that ethnic effect or they can be cleaned with deck wash and sanded which reveals the beautiful American white oak.
• They can be used as base for dining tables by placing a glass over them and by adding chairs with same ethnic look. This arrangement will look perfect in bars.
• Four barrels arranged in a row as a base and a wooden plank or a mosaic top over them is a better idea for placing all the wine bottles at bars.
• Barrels with a door cut in them gives ample space to place bar supplies like glasses and bottles. You can still arrange one or two shelves in it to use the space the most.
• Another interesting thing which we can do with barrels is we can use them as sinks. A ceramic basin is attached at the top portion of the barrel and the plumbing accessories will be hidden inside with a door cut from it. These sinks would look great in bars and restaurants instead of the regular sinks.
• We can also make some beautiful fountains, wine racks, drink coolers and also crate some art form by doing some painting on them.

Every thing can be converted in to a master piece of decoration if you have that art with in you. So, why late get some empty barrels and start crafting your own art form.
