If you’re interested in designing your own custom wine cellar there are a number of
options available to you. The best news is that there are wine cellar designs
for everyone from the avid do-it-yourselfer to the complete woodworking
novice.
There are modular wine racks that are available in different grains and finishes,
with the least expensive generally being a wood such as pine. Most modular
wine rack dealers will offer other materials such as red cedar or finished
wood as well. Of course you can always save some money and finish the wood yourself if you desire a particular type of finish or color for your wine cellar
racks.
There are many wine racking companies that offer crown molding and skirting pieces
so that you can easily combine different styles of wine cellar racking
materials and types. This approach can yield some very unique custom
wine cellar designs.
There are built in glass racks that are made to fit snugly within a rack system. A
good place for one of these individual units would be above the table top
piece mentioned above. This would add to the ambience as well as functionality
of your custom modular wine racking system.
If you want something a little different than the traditional wood wine cellar
racks, there are attractive metal trellis rack pieces that are very
economical, yet stylish. These tend to look classier
than the wood modular wine racking pieces, especially for placement in bar areas that
will be viewed by visitors.
If you would like to add a table area to your wine cellar while increasing the
storage capacity of your cellar at the same time, a wine bin table may be the
best addition to your modular racking system. There are taller, wine tasting
tables that hold just over 100 bottles or about 180 bottles of wine, and there
are shorter wine rack tables that hold more than 200 wine bottles in case
bins.
There are many online dealers and manufacturers of wine cellar racking pieces that
also offer custom
computer design services to help you achieve the exact wine cellar layout that you
have in mine. With many of these professional services you can then have the
plans sent to you and decide if you will build them yourself or have someone
else build them for you.
With all of the wine cellar design options available to you, there are many ways
to accomplish the perfect wine cellar design for you and your situation. There
are many wine enthusiasts online communities
and the like where you can find others interested in the same things that you
are and maybe gain some other ideas about wine cellars and the design aspect
of creating your own wine cellar.
