What high-end home feature says luxury like a custom wine cellar?
There are many reasons other than storing wine to incorporate a wine cellar into your luxury home design.
A wine cellar is:
Sam Vercher, a custom home builder in Bullard and East Texas, has experience incorporating wine cellars into luxury home designs, and there are many factors that need to come together in order to create the perfect wine cellar.
The location of your wine cellar is important for multiple reasons. Many people put their wine cellar in a basement or downstairs area because this part of your home is generally the coolest—especially in warm places like East Texas. A cool environment is necessary for the ideal wine storage temperatures. But you’re not limited to just the basement for your wine cellar. With state-of-the-art temperature control and smart home technology for luxury homes, you can have your “cellar” anywhere in your home.
You could have your wine cellar located off your kitchen as a side room or pantry for convenient, easy access.
If you have a formal dining room, putting the wine room directly off the dining room could also be convenient and add a nice aesthetic when entertaining.
A craftsman wine cellar constructed by your custom home builder is a great way to showcase your carefully curated wine collection. In the same way that you would create a space to highlight a piece of valuable artwork, a luxury wine cellar is a place to display and enjoy your wine collection.
When it comes to designing and building your custom wine cellar, take into consideration your needs as a host, wine curator, and individual. Do you host often and have wine as a focus of your events? If so, you’ll want your wine cellar to be accessible and maybe even designed as a space to host guests. Picture a group of friends gathered in your home enjoying delicious foods and wines in your custom wine room.
Are you someone who purchases and curates a collection of wine, or do you keep a small, well-researched stash just for yourself and close friends? How much wine you plan to need space for makes a difference in the size of your wine cellar and how the design is integrated into the luxury home design plans. If you only plan to store a small selection of wine, you may have more options in terms of where your wine cellar is located.
It’s also the design. While the wine can be displayed like artwork, so can the wine cellar or storage space. It’s possible to design your custom luxury wine cellar as a piece of artwork—a focal point for a room that adds its own aesthetic. Make your home and wine storage unique with a one-of-a-kind designed wine storage artwork.
Are you more than a casual collector of fine wine? Do you want to have wine tastings in your wine cellar? If wine is more than a casual hobby, you might consider designing a wine room where you and your guests can enjoy sampling the wine as well. Your tasting room can have all the amenities of a commercial wine-tasting setting but feature your unique design ideas. You’ll want to consider details such as lighting, seating, and storage space when it comes to designing a wine cellar and tasting room.
Invest in a state-of-the-art temperature control system. You need to keep your wines at an ideal temperature. It’s important to make sure you’re able to temperature control your wine cellar/room where the wine is stored and maintain that temperature. Otherwise, you might lose valuable inventory. Work with your luxury home contractor to choose the best heating and cooling unit for your unique wine cellar space.
If the wine you’re storing is valuable, you might want to think about ways to keep it secure. Incorporate security measures into the design of your wine cellar to keep your wine safe from theft and give you the necessary peace of mind when it comes to your investment.
If you enjoy wine, why not integrate a wine cellar into your luxury home design. Not only is it a useful and luxurious addition to your home—it’s a great place to relax and unwind with friends and family.
