How to Create a Stunning Wine Room in Your Home
Red or white? Sweet or dry? What if you could have a collection of wines from around the world at your fingertips? A personalized, custom wine room in your own home is the epitome of luxury. Whether an avid collector or a casual enthusiast, a wine cellar will enhance the value and enjoyment of your home.
To craft an amazing wine room, consider these 4 essentials…
Essential #1: Skillfully Control the Room's Conditions
Fine wine is like a delicate flower that needs to be skillfully cared for. Maintaining its beauty requires particular attention. The temperature, humidity, and lighting need to be just right for it to mature properly. A well-designed wine room will help protect the integrity of your collection.
Essential #2: Strategically Design the Storage
There are a few things to consider when determining how best to store your wine. How extensive is your collection, and do you plan to expand? Do you tend to buy many bottles at once or collect a few special labels over time?
Consider floor-to-ceiling storage or double-deep racks for multiples. Remember that wine bottles come in different shapes and styles, so leave room for various sizes. Adding built-in cabinets for additional storage of wine glasses and bottle openers is also ideal.
Essential #3: Select Materials for the Room's Durability
With all those delicate bottles of wine, you’re bound to have a spill now and again, which can be particularly disastrous with a merlot or cabernet. Luckily, wine-friendly materials, including fabrics that repel spills, are available these days, making clean-up a cinch. Durable, cleanable material on the floor is also advantageous.
Essential #4: Deliberately
Select the Room's Decor Style and Amenities
The style of your wine room can make an impactful design statement in your home. Do you desire a dark and sultry vibe with aged wood and leather? Or lots of glass for contemporary elegance? Don’t forget to ensure it goes with the house's overall style. Include a comfortable seating niche or a tasting table to relax and enjoy a wine-pairing event with friends.
