Decorating with wine grapes is an easy way to give your room an Italian or wine country theme. Consider a matching paint scheme such as golden yellow, deep red or even a faux design to enhance the room's style. Add wine grape decorations to a room through easy, do-it-yourself projects using supplies from your local craft store. Transform your room and get swept away to Tuscany without ever leaving the comfort of your own home.

    Centerpieces

  1. Use wine grapes and grapevines to serve as a table centerpiece. Look for a tiled or terra cotta container displaying traditional Tuscan colors such as golden yellow and deep red. Purchase several bunches of grapes, both green and red, to arrange in the container. Consider using real grapes for special occasions or dinner parties, but plastic grapes for everyday use. Purchase a strand of grapevine leaves from the craft store to adorn the container of grapes. Cut small portions and strategically place the leaves in the grapes. Drape both the grapes and leaves over the sides of the container. Place grape bunches and grape leaves around the container to serve as a table runner.
  2. Borders

  3. Stencil a wine grape border to highlight grape decorations in the kitchen. Decide where you'd like to place the stencil design such as around a doorway or around the ceiling. Make sure the area is clean and dry. Purchase a stencil from the craft store and secure with masking or painters tape to the selected area. Securing tightly to the wall avoids smudges. Apply paint to a sponge and wipe off any excess. Tap the sponge lightly on the wall until you reach the desired amount of color. Make sure the area is complete before moving on to the next spot. Correct any smudges or imperfections to the grape stencil pattern with matching wall paint.
  4. Wreaths

  5. Purchase a grapevine wreath. These are available at most craft stores in various sizes. Pre-made wreaths are often available with grapes, leaves and bows, but making one yourself saves a few dollars. Add grapes and grape leaves to the wreath. Choose a ribbon that matches the colors and the room's décor. Select a place to hang the wreath. Consider the front door or a room following a wine theme. Think about changing the ribbon to match the time of year, such as a red and green ribbon for the Christmas season and a pastel-colored ribbon for Spring.
