FIVE WINE ROOM INTERIOR DESIGN INTEGRATIONS TO CONSIDER FOR YOUR GREATER VANCOUVER BC HOME

Room to Grow

One of the biggest mistakes oenophiles make when designing their residential wine cellar, is not leaving room for growth. A typical wine cellar in the highly densified Vancouver area, runs anywhere between 100 to 500 square feet in size, accommodating storage of 1,500 to 5,500 bottles. If you don’t have a lot of width to work with, be sure to install a tall rack that allows your collection to grow upward.

Multipurpose Wine Rack

Optimize space by installing a multipurpose wine rack that holds more than wine, but also has an inverted wine glass rack along with shelving for sommelier books and vintage ephemera related to your collection and interest.

Deck the Walls, Accordingly

Have some fun with your wine room by adorning the walls with a design that honors what the space is. In the featured project photo above (from the Calvert Design portfolio) we had the concrete walls decked out with statement-making wine bottle designs.

Repurposed Wine Barrels

Instead of basic end-tables and seating, consider repurposing old wine barrels as furnishing. They can stand-alone as is (as tall tables and decor pedestals) or be professional cut down to size for seating and more depending upon your goals.
