Current trends have transformed the wine cellar from a purely functional storage area into one of the home’s most celebrated and stylish spaces. A custom-designed wine cellar not only showcases a prized wine collection but also serves as an inviting space to relax or entertain. Imagine sipping your favourite drop in a room crafted just for enjoying wine, where the ambiance complements the elegance of your collection.
Modern Wine Cellar Designs for Every Home
With innovative design and advanced wine cellar technology, today’s wine cellars can be integrated into nearly any part of the home, whether you have a dedicated cellar room, a basement, or even a compact, temperature-controlled space in your living area. Discover these exceptional cellar designs that blend aesthetics with functionality, offering perfect settings to enjoy wine at its best. Explore these ideas to spark inspiration for your own wine cellar design—no matter the size or style of your home.
Front and Centre Statement
It’s becoming increasingly common to find state-of-the-art, glass-encased, temperature-controlled wine rooms as focal points within main living areas. These beautifully crafted spaces feature illuminated display areas and ambient lighting to highlight extensive wine collections, creating a striking visual statement.
Designed to be admired from every angle, these wine cellars not only showcase collections but also add convenience with their prime location. The double-glazed entrance to the wine cellar featured here sits elegantly over a water feature with glass stepping stones, setting the stage for a sophisticated wine experience.
Dining Display Case
This elegant, glass-enclosed wine room is designed to integrate seamlessly into the dining area, becoming a true showstopper. While glass offers a striking view of the collection, double-insulated glazing is essential to regulate temperature, and UV protection is crucial to preserve the wine’s quality over time.
Vertical timber joinery elegantly divides the display, featuring a vertically-oriented rack system that stores bottles up to the ceiling, creating a grand and impressive effect. Carefully positioned directional and ambient lighting highlights the collection, enhancing the visual impact and transforming the entire dining experience.
A Place to Taste
By incorporating a tasting area in the wine cellar, you can transform it from being a mere storeroom into a space for special experiences. After all, there is no point in taking that vintage bottle all the way upstairs to dinner only to find that it’s corked. This sophisticated, symmetrically designed cellar has been detailed to precision with the tasting experience in mind.
The Club Lounge
If you’ve got the space, why not expand the tasting-area idea and bring a club lounge look into the wine cellar? The club lounge provides an invitingly rich, warm and refined interior with the addition of comfortable chairs (often in leather), which are complemented by dark timber and metal furniture pieces. As you can see in the space pictured here, the cellar becomes an enticing place of escape, to relax and enjoy quiet time or to open and share one of your collection’s best drops.
Custom-designed joinery can display the very best bottles, glassware and decanters while providing maximum storage for the collection. By sectioning off the storage racks behind a wall of glass, you can also ensure that the two separate areas can be temperature-controlled to suit your needs.
