When starting your wine cellar project, you must remember that functionality and appeal are important factors to consider. Hiring an expert, like Custom Wine Cellars Miami, will ensure that they meet all of your specific needs and requirements. Whether you want a traditional or contemporary home wine cellar, we have the perfect storage solution that suits your budget and style.

Elements in Designing Wine Cellars for the Home

Your builder must be very careful in designing every component of a wine room to ensure that its overall appeal and functionality are according to the client’s preferences. Before creating a design for residential wine cellars, Custom Wine Cellars Miami sits down with their clients and discusses with them every detail of the project. This process will help them bring each room to life with exceptional racking, flooring, and wine cellar door choices, and utilize resources according to the client’s financial requirements.

Custom Wine Cellars Miami also offers customization options so the owner can incorporate personalized features into the design such as a cigar humidor, drawers, cabinets, and wine barrel tables.

Planning for the Capacity of the Wine Cellar

When planning for the capacity of your wine cellar, Custom Wine Cellars Miami will determine the number and size of the wines that the owner intends to store in it. If the client collects standard and large format bottles, like splits, champagnes, or magnums, there must be various sizes of rack openings.

The bottle capacity will also depend on the size and shape of the wine room. At Custom Wine Cellars Miami, we incorporate different bottle orientations and customize the height and width of the wine racks. Our design team makes sure that the racking design maximizes the storage capacity of the cellar.

We can transform walk-in closets and other small areas in your home into a beautiful wine cellar that will store your collection safely for many years to come.

Wine Rack System

After a careful assessment of the owner’s needs, we will provide a design package that includes 3-dimensional drawings, elevations, and a proposal for the cooling unit, door, and flooring.

The CAD images provide better visualization of the completed wine cellar. The images show the different elevations, dimensions, bottle capacity, and orientations of the racking.

Traditional Home Wine Cellar Design

Classic designs for wine cellars are still popular among homeowners who want a warm ambiance. We use wood to achieve this.

The different types of wood that we offer are Redwood, Mahogany, Pine, Knotty Alder, and reclaimed wine barrels. We will help you choose the best material for your wine racks to build a wine display area with timeless appeal.

We construct wooden wine racks from high-quality materials to withstand the humid conditions that exist in a climate-controlled wine cellar.

You may choose kit wine racks (also known as modular racks). They are available in different styles, heights, and widths. If you start collecting wine with a few bottles, this wine storage option is perfect for you. You can increase the bottle capacity of your wine racks by stacking another unit.

We recommend custom wine racks if you want us to design the storage units according to the shape and size of your cellar. Although more expensive than modular racking, custom racks allow you to incorporate unique features into the design to make your home wine cellar beautifully stunning and more functional.

Modern Wine Cellar Design

Not all wine enthusiasts want a traditional look in their cellar. For our customers who want a modern wine cellar, we utilize metal wine racks. However, it is possible to combine metal with wood if the client wants to.

Metal wine racks are elegant in their own way. They are in demand with home wine cellar owners in Miami, due to their sleek appeal. They can easily complement any décor and fit almost any corner of the room.

You can opt for wall-mounted wine racks if you do not want to use floor space. This option is ideal for small wine cellars. There are also floor-standing wine racks that you can place in the corners of your living space.

Metal Storage Systems by Vintage View for a Striking and Functional Wine Cellar Display in Miami Homes

We use Vintage View wine racks for building contemporary wine cellars. Their kit wine racks are available in brushed nickel, satin black, chrome, and black chrome finishes. You may opt for the Evolution Series racks, which are manufactured from glass and steel rods. Extension wine racks are available if you want to increase the storage capacity.

Both the kit and Evolution wine racks by Vintage View display your fine wines in a label-forward orientation. This bottle orientation makes the wine labels easier to see, reducing the time consumed in browsing a specific type of wine. It also makes wine management and organization more convenient.

With standard bottle openings in wooden wine racks, you do not see the labels. You would have to pull out the bottle to know the brand and variety of the wine. This may disturb the wine’s sediments and alter its chemical properties, resulting in off-flavors.

Custom Wine Cellars Miami recommend glass walls and windows to complement the metal racks in your home wine cellar. Glass-enclosed wine rooms are more appealing and stylish, providing a clear view of your collection from outside the cellar.

Choosing a Wine Cellar Door

The wine cellar door’s primary function is to ensure that the refrigeration unit can operate well. If not chosen and installed correctly, the warm air will enter the room, and the cool air will escape from the cellar.

When this happens, the quality of the wine will be affected. Wine easily deteriorates when stored in an environment with poor storage conditions.

In addition, your choice of the door also affects the overall appeal of your residential wine cellar. It is the first thing that greets you and your guests. At Custom Wine Cellars Miami, we offer, not only exterior grade doors but attractive styles as well.

We have doors made from solid wood, a wrought-iron grill, and glass. You may request custom options if you want your entryway to have a personal touch.

Illuminating Your Collection with Impressive Wine Cellar Lighting

Another crucial step in home wine cellar design is choosing the right type of lighting. It must provide adequate light for moving around the room and for reading the labels with ease. You must ensure that the lights are not only safe but also highlight your collection dramatically.

LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights are widely used in wine cellars because they don’t emit excessive heat. Too much heat can spoil the wine. This lighting option can accentuate your wine cellar exceptionally.

You can add wall sconces or chandeliers for a traditional appeal. For illuminating a modern wine room, we recommend track or spotlights.
