4 Essentials Your Wine Room Needs to Elevate Your Home

Passionate wine lovers unite! A wine room can be an essential part of a home’s living space, as important as the living room, bath, or kitchen. When your home has a dedicated wine room, it elevates the level of luxury in a home. Personal value aside, there is also the potential to affect a home’s value positively. Whether you’re building a new home or remodeling your current one, here are 4 essentials to include in your wine room…

1. Control the Room's Conditions Precisely

To ensure that your wine is aging well, correctly storing it is of utmost importance. Temperature, humidity, light, vibration, and even placement all need to be taken into consideration. In addition, you’ll need to decide if you’ll add dual-zone areas separating reds from whites and add a wine fridge to this space—all these room conditions and options matter.

2. Design Storage Strategically 

It’s important to be pragmatic when building a wine room. Work with an interior design expert to help you determine your ideal custom storage space. Options include

• Floor-to-ceiling

• Floating shelves

• Racking 

• Built-in cabinets 

• Large drawers  

Knowledge and creativity will go a long way in creating this dream space.

3. Carefully Select Durable Materials 

Wine room furnishings add sophistication and allow you to have your wine close for easy accessibility. Consider materials that will be durable and stand the test of time. Performance fabrics will help minimize wear, tear, and staining for upholstered furnishings. Select flooring materials that can withstand moisture exposure and clean up easily after spills.

4. Deliberately Choose the Room's Decor Style and Amenities

From inception to completion, a designer can help you select the style and amenities that best reflect your taste. Features to consider may include adding an area with comfortable seating, a tasting table with bar stools, traditional dark wood and leather for a sultry vibe, or contemporary glass for elegance.

The joy that your wine collection brings to you, including the space it occupies in life and in your home, is priceless. Wine is a living, breathing joy that should be celebrated! So let’s connect to discuss your wine room aspirations and how to custom-fit one into the overall design of your home.
