But what exactly were apothecary bottles traditionally used for, and why are they making such a stylish comeback in interior design?


A Glimpse into History: The Traditional Use of Apothecary Bottles


Dating back to the 17th century, apothecary bottles, with their distinctive shapes and often ornate labels, were once a staple in pharmacies and medical practices to store a variety of medicinal substances, including herbs, tinctures, and powders. Each bottle was carefully labelled to indicate its contents, making it an essential tool for apothecaries (the old term for pharmacists) who compounded and dispensed remedies to their patients.


Why Apothecary Bottles are Trending in Interiors


Recently, apothecary bottles have become a popular choice for home enthusiasts. Their vintage style makes them perfect for adding character and charm to any space.


Creative Uses for Apothecary Bottles in Modern Homes


Today, imitation and antique apothecary bottles have a variety of uses in our homes:

  • Fill them with fresh or dried flowers to create a stunning centrepiece.

  • Use them to store bathroom essentials like cotton balls, bath salts, or toiletries, adding a touch of elegance to your bathroom.

  • Store spices, herbs, or cooking oils in these bottles for a stylish yet practical kitchen display.

  • Place candles in the bottles for a romantic, ambient glow.

  • Fill them with essential oils and reed sticks to make a natural room diffuser that looks as good as it smells.
