A perennial favorite....Double divided glass doors welcome guests into this one of a kind wine cellar. Columns of New England Fieldstone support a long barrel arched rustic Knotty Alder T&G ceiling. Rustic Alder wine racking is divided equally for individual bottles and diamond bins, creating a pleasing symmetrical design. A rustic reclaimed table serves as the center island and completes the ambience.

An used closet under the stairs is transformed into a beautiful and functional chilled wine cellar with a new wrought iron railing for the stairs to tie it all together. Travertine slabs replace carpet on the stairs. LED lights are installed in the wine cellar for additional ambient lighting that gives the room a soft glow in the evening. Photos by: Ryan Wilson

Private Wine Cellar, Falmouth, Cornwall

The Bazeley Partnership

This specialized, state-of-the-art, 350m² wine cellar sits beneath the new Arts and Crafts-inspired private residence near Falmouth designed by The Bazeley Partnership. Housing an extensive collection of vintage wines and champagnes, the concept was influenced by the client's desire for an 'Old World' French and Tuscan theme. Accessed from ground floor level by lift and a bespoke, arch-formed staircase, the newly created underground space has reinforced concrete walls with barrell-vaulted ceilings clad in stone, supported by stone columns and arches forming storage niches. In order to keep the valuable contents in optium condition, the cellar is naturally ventilated using anti-bacterial, silver-lined ducts installed below the cellar's structural floor slab.

Harborside Haven Wine Cellar

Charles River Wine Cellars

This project has two tiers of wine cellar space for entertaining and enjoyment. The wine room, which houses the collection, has a tall ceiling height allowing for an arched barrel ceiling and use of a rolling library ladder for easy access to bottles stored in upper rows. Steps away, the tasting room includes ample room for stemware, decanters, dishwasher and beverage fridge. Mahogany wine racking, millwork, stone work and the decorative arched door create an inviting environment.

Victorian Manor

Tucker Homes

One of the best pieces from this manor restoration. The doorway and stairwell were covered by the previous owners and not in current drawings when we began work, so were discovered by our carpenters as we worked through the basement. The shelving in this cellar was made from wood we salvaged from the old floor joists pulled out of areas needing repair. The door also made from salvaged wood within the house, and features a centrepiece with the home's original owner's name scratched into the wood. The wine rack was actually made from new pine by one of our carpenters and was cut and stained to match the reclaimed wood.

Wine Cellar Design Ideas with Travertine Floors and Concrete Floors

When you’re an avid wine collector, wine racks don’t always cut it. A wine cellar, on the other hand, can provide ample wine storage within a controlled temperature, and a place to entertain friends. Just add seating and a tasting area to take yours to the next level. You don’t need 500 bottles or more to reap the benefits of a wine cellar, either. A small wine cooler can keep 20-odd bottles chilled to perfection and can sit within your kitchen, whereas a freestanding all-glass wine cellar could act as a feature or functional room divider in your home. Short on space? Transform an entire wall into wine storage, and showcase your collection, too. Browse the photos on Houzz for an array or wine cellar designs, and strike up a conversation with the architect or wine cellar specialist of your favourite picks. For more wine cellar ideas, check out the Stories section on Houzz.

What should I include in my wine cellar?

This depends on the size of your collection – or how big you hope it becomes. If you enjoy quaffing, you may want to invest in a walk-in cooler with wall-mounted wine racks and several tall wine fridges, as well as a tasting area with bar stools. If you’re a beginner or have a small collection, a home bar with mini fridge and wine rack will suffice. Essential bar accessories include wine glasses, corkscrews, carafes and aerators.

How should I store my wine?

Temperature control is at the core of a functional wine cellar. Your bottles need to be kept out of direct sunlight, and away from the heat and steam of kitchen appliances. A room that is too warm will make your wine age faster, oxidise and lose its character and flavour. If bottles are corked, they also need to be laid down. Your architect or designer will be able to help you create the ideal conditions for your home collection.

Where should I position my wine cooler?

The most important thing to consider is ease of access, which is why kitchens are the most common place to position wine coolers. Should you have minimal floor space, a small one could even sit comfortably on your countertop. If quaffing requires an occasion or you frequently host dinner parties, consider your dining room, so you can top up people’s glasses without having to leave the room. You could also make your bar fridge or cooler a destination within your entertainment or games room. There’s no denying that Aussies love to entertain and enjoy a glass or two outdoors, so if you’re lucky enough to have a covered outdoor area, this could be just the place for a cooler, too. Just ensure it doesn’t experience any extreme weather or long periods of direct sunlight.
