Wine Cellars That Shine

When I envision a wine cellar, I picture a dark, cave-like room outfitted with stone, wood and old wine barrels. But, for those of us who are more contemporary in our personal style, wouldn't it be fun to design an equally contemporary wine cellar? From my perspective, contemporary design in this setting is really all about showing the structure of the wine cellar — strip away all the rustic elements and highlight the wine. Here are some great examples of how to bring in contemporary stylings to your wine cellar.

Bottles of wine in an acrylic structure bathed in blue light create a stunning architectural element in this beautifully designed space. The large wooden spheres and cross-cut wood tile floor add warmth and a touch of the rustic, but in a contemporary way.



This contemporary space also highlights the storage system — simple metals rods extend from the slatted wall — and shows off the bottles. There is no extra hardware. Note the nice lighting, artwork and great tasting area. The glass enclosure keeps the space open and airy feeling.

Backlit shelving allows the shape of the bottles to be used almost like art. The play of light off the walls adds another interesting set of textures and colors.
