With the vibrant spirit of spring upon us, now is the ideal time to breathe new life into your home – starting with that long-pondered wine cellar, room or stunning wall display. Living in the beautiful Sonoran Desert, we are blessed with weather that allows us to enjoy being outside nearly year-round. So why not let this season of renewal inspire options that allow for outdoor gatherings or “bringing the outdoors in” via creative design choices?
Here are just a few ideas to help you create a delightful and functional area that’s perfect for solo sipping or sharing a lovely spring evening with friends and family.
Open-Air Wine Tasting Area – Incorporate an outside area into your wine room or cellar design. This can be achieved by installing large glass doors or windows that lead to an outdoor patio or garden. This creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing guests to enjoy the fresh air while savouring their favourite wines.
Outdoor Dining – If room allows, consider adding a dining area to your wine cellar where guests can enjoy al fresco meals paired with exceptional vintages. Choose weather-resistant furniture that complements the overall aesthetic of your cellar. Enhance the ambiance with soft lighting, potted plants and decorative accents that reflect the colour and freshness of spring.
Versatile Seating Options – Provide seating that caters to different types of gatherings, such as comfortable lounges for casual get-togethers or dining chairs for more formal occasions. Include flexible seating arrangements that can be easily rearranged to accommodate varying group sizes and activities.
Barbecue and Grilling Station – Consider incorporating a barbeque or grilling station into your wine cellar design, complete with built-in appliances and ample counter space for food preparation. This addition will elevate your outdoor entertaining experience, allowing you to show off your skills as both a sommelier and a master of the grill!
Natural Elements – Embrace the essence of spring by bringing natural elements into your wine cellar design. Use reclaimed wood for shelving and furniture to add warmth and character to the space. Stone accents, such as rustic stone wall or flooring, are also a wonderful way to create a charming and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of outdoor settings.
