5 Areas You Should Focus to Design an Exclusive Wine Cellar

 A home feels like a ‘home’ when you can savour a fine glass of classic wine with some of your real friends while sitting at the cosiest corner of your home and discuss life. That’s the reason homeowners mostly wish to have a well-designed wine cellar in their homes. As wine gets better with time, you can easily store some bottles of wine in a shady and cool place and relish it as you like. However, wine room construction is not an easy task for sure and demands professional expertise.

The task of storing wine can be intimidating without proper knowledge. And to enlighten you all on the same, here is a comprehensive guide on building a unique wine cellar for your home.

Purpose

The first step is to identify the different types of wines you want to store in the cellar. Every individual has a different taste or choice when it comes to buying wine. Based on your wine choices, you must decide that whether you want something for long term storage or just to display them. An idea of how many bottles of wine you wish to store will also help you further to evaluate the functionality of the wine cellar.

Location

Another prime consideration is choosing the location of wine cellar in your home. While consulting a professional for your wine storage design, he can equip you with many interesting ideas. You can consider the space under the stairs or closet or simply a small room and transform it to a wine cellar. However, the basement of your home is ideally chosen as the best place as it’s cooler than anywhere else in your home.

Temperature

Now that you’ve decided the place, let us focus on what should be the ideal temperature for storing wine. As we know, the most humid and coolest area of your home is best for setting up a wine cellar. So, the temperature of your wine room should be around 55 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of 60-65%. If it’s cooler than that, the wine will age slowly and if it’s warmer, then it will age fast.

Aesthetic appeal

The style of your wine cellar is something that defines your taste of art. Considering the different types of wine storage design including contemporary, modern, traditional or rustic, try to ornate the place with decorative elements and pieces you love and exhibit the beauty of your wine collection in true sense.

Materials

Choosing the right ceiling, flooring and wall materials for your wine cellar is extremely important. Moisture resistant plywood can work well for the ceiling and walls. However, you can choose rot resistant hardwoods as an alternative as it’s more attractive, more durable yet more expensive. For flooring, select a material that can complement the humid and cool environment of the cellar well.

Your unique wine room should reflect an amalgam of functionality and artistry that complements the aura of your home in entirety. And it certainly requires professional experience and in-depth research because of which, you should always rely on skilled experts of wine room construction. Specialised guidance of a professional should ensure that you invest your hard-earned money in the right place and in the right way.
