Although most of us are wine lovers and wine collectors, setting up a wine cellar at home may seem like too much. That is not fine.
When you have a passion for wine, why not set up your own storage space?
A wine cellar is all about creating a dedicated space for easy-drinking and sophisticated storing of your wine collections.
So let’s get started – here are five tips for designing your wine cellar to make it more attractive.
#1 Make it private creating a doorway seal
If you want to love your cellar, you may want to create a doorway seal, so that the cellar remains at a consistent temperature. Also, this style of parting the cellar from the rest of the living area is vibrant and chooses to be paramount.
Keep in mind:
- Choose glass doors for doorway seals. They must have double pane tempered glass to trap the chillness inside. Also, the transparency of the glass doors allows you to see your timeless collection from the outside.
- Make sure that the doors give your wine cellar a 100% UV protection.
- Because the wine cellar should provide an air-conditioned space to keep the up the chillness of the wines, the choice of the doorway should be of an exceptional grade for tight sealing. A good doorway seal for the wine cellar should be weatherproofed.
#2 Look no further than Vintage Racking!
Whether you are thinking of a standing rack or a rack that sits to the wall, “vintage” is your keyword to fix your mind to while deciding the design of your wine cellar. Vintage wine racks create a classic feel in modern living spaces.
#3 How about a backlit mirror?
Why do you need a mirror in your wine cellar? Well, if you want your wine to become a centrepiece in the room, then you need a backlit mirror. This arrangement reflects all the lighting of the cellar incredibly and makes space interesting to show off your collection. In a wine cellar by adding a backlit mirror, you can expand and lighten the space simultaneously. Also, the display of the most beautiful wines can be accentuated by utilizing mirror displays. Just imagine, wine bottles, vintage walls, elegant lighting, and a backlit mirror as a centrepiece. Eye-feasting!
#4 Add some exclusives to your wine collections
Wine is always welcoming. While some seek wines to drink for leisure, others seek wines to be appreciated at status. Well, when you have a wine cellar, it is imperative to keep your wine collection with as many different wines as possible, especially exclusive ones. The way you highlight the wine cabinets with the special bottles of wines or spirits showcases the cellar’s distinguished style, classic look, and sophistication. Remember, not every collection is exclusive, has good taste, and adds value to your collection. So you need to be meticulous in selecting your wine for showcasing. From Stella Rosa black to Pinot Grigio to Chardonnay, you should have it all.
Moreover, it’s not a bad idea to equip your bar with some exquisite whiskeys such as Dimple Pinch, Glenfiddich, etc. So grab them on to flaunt your liquor collection.
#5 Lit up your wine cellar
Lighting shows deleterious effects on the flavours of wine. So it is always important to set up your wine cellar away from natural lighting in dark places. To facilitate visibility install artificial lighting. Light up your wine cellar with incandescent and halogen light bulbs which act as low heat sources and also illuminates the area aesthetically.
Few lighting suggestions for the wine cellar:
- In order to elevate the wall spaces of the wine cellar, you can install wall sconces. This set up would give a luxurious look by diffusing the lights throughout the walls.
- Sometimes backlighting to your wine racks can also be impressive.
- To take the overall look of the cellar to the next level, install a traditional chandelier on the ceiling.
End Of The Tale
With your wine cellar, your guests will surely do double-takes, and your wine cellar will be the celebrity for constant conversations of your guests. Setting up an easy-red- drinking stage is as close to heaven. So, all the best on your journey on wine bottles. The secret of designing a successful wine room is thinking out-of-the-box.
No matter how small or big is your wine cellar, you need to be creative in your thinking!
