Fabulous Wine Cellars
Posted on Jan 17, 2011Jan17
If you’re a wine connoisseur, you might consider a custom designed wine cellar for your home. The art of wine tasting is a sophisticated hobby that deserves its own location. A fabulous wine cellar is more than just wine storage (although the proper storage for wine is essential and is a wholly separate issue which I won’t get into in this post). A wine cellar is a place where you can entertain your guests with a wine tasting soiree of your own. A well designed space can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home while incorporating functional design.
If you are an avid collector of wine, then you need to have a large enough space designed to store your collection. If you expect to actually entertain in your wine cellar, then you will need adequate room for a dining table and chairs as well.
Because a wine cellar should be designed and built to fit the style and decor of your home, you should discuss options with your architect, builder and interior designer. Your design team can help you create the most beautiful space that caters to your specific needs.
Proper lighting is important to create the appropriate mood but also to keep the room functional.
Some cellars incorporate beautiful murals, mosaics and artwork to add a little flair into the space’s interior design.
Are you a wine connoisseur/collector? If so, how are you currently storing your collection?
