Designer-Approved Wine Cellar Ideas

Designer-Approved Wine Cellar Ideas

If you're an avid wine collector, investing in a dedicated storage space can be well worth it. Whether it's a sexy subterranean place to retreat for a night cap or you're looking to build a new glass-enclosed space in a spare room or unused corner, we rounded up fifteen designer-approved wine cellar ideas and bottle storage styling tips to help you tastefully preserve your collection. Chin chin!


Try a Wine Wall


In this dining room by Catherine Kwong Design, the entire back wall is dedicated to wine. It makes entertaining easier when you can simply grab and pour without even leaving the room. Plus, if your basement has a skylight, even more reason to turn into a special occasion room, right?



Use Stone


Designed by Arent & Pyke, this home bar is both traditional and low-key, elegant and modern, with an adjacent wine cellar fit for a collector. The stone walls are evocative of a French chateau on a vineyard.



Go Dark


Metallic wallpaper is the perfect backdrop for a moody, intimate home bar or wine cellar. Studio DB paired it with black marble surfaces and stained wood cabinets to finish the look. And, of course, don't forget to keep glasses in the area for tastings.



Integrate It


Leave it to designer-to-the-stars Martyn Lawrence Bullard to go all out with gold accents for an integrated wine system that blends right in-but is anything but boring,



Build Into an Island


You don't need a full room to create a stylish and climate-optimized cellar. Take note of this integrated wine cooler in a kitchen island designed by Pembrooke & Ives.



Set the Scene


"The whole room has a sexy, smokey vibe," says interior designer Michelle Nussbaumer. Literally: "You can have a cigar here if you like to smoke." She designed the grasscloth wallpaper to evoke Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt.



Use a Wall Unit


No space, no problem. Use a wall unit like this one in a kitchen designed by Leanne Ford Interiors. And there's a reason they bottles are organized horizontally: storing them like this keeps oxygen from slipping in through the cork.



Go Minimalist


Griffiths Studios opted for a matte black backdrop and a grid-like storage setup for a sleek, graphic display that keeps things organized and wine fresh.



Choose the Right Glass


A closet-sized wine cellar can fit in a living room corner while still housings an extensive bottle collection. Just make sure you use the right glass for optimal wine storage, and "be conscious of your exposed, says designer Michelle Morgan Harrison. Too much direct sunlight accelerates aging, so UV-filtering glass and low-voltage LED bulbs will do wonders.



Dress Up Appliances


In this home designed by Corinne Mathern, the exposed beams and lived-in terra cotta floors tiles set the scene for California and Mediterranean-inspired interiors. The brutalist sconce and gold hardware mixed with the homemade pottery complement that style perfectly and keep our eyes away from the appliances.
