When it comes to designing a cellar that showcases your prized wine collection, the choice of racks plays a critical role. Innovative designs incorporate a range of options that enhance both functionality and aesthetics. Let's explore some of the available rack types, their integration into your wine storage scenario and a few tips for finding the best choice for you.
Scalable Shelving – Modular shelving systems are versatile and customisable, making them ideal for wine storage areas of all sizes. These systems allow you to adjust shelf heights and configurations to accommodate different bottle sizes and shapes. Opting for modular shelving offers flexibility and efficient use of space, ensuring that every bottle has its proper location.
Alloy Accents – Metal wine racks are durable, sleek and contemporary, with design choices that can include wall-mounted or floor-to-ceiling racks and countertop options. Choosing the right metal wine rack depends on factors such as the size of your collection, the layout of your cellar and the overall design theme. Wall-mounted metal racks are space-saving and visually striking, while floor-to-ceiling racks make a statement whilst maximising storage capacity.
Traditional Timber – Wooden wine racks exude classic elegance and warmth, making them a popular pick for traditional and rustic cellar designs. The types of woods and finishes are almost endless, with rack options ranging from stackable to diamond-bin configurations. Incorporating wooden racks into your cellar design adds a timeless appeal and allows for a myriad of creative display options, such as mixing horizontal and vertical orientations.
A Clear Choice – For a modern and minimalist look, acrylic wine racks are an excellent option. Their transparent nature creates a floating effect, making the bottles appear as if they're suspended in the air. Acrylic racks are lightweight, easy to clean and can be customised to fit specific bottle sizes.
Custom Combinations – If you're looking for a way to “have it all” when it comes to your favourite design elements, consider a mixed-materials scenario. This blended style option is truly limitless. For example, you can marry the warmth of wood with the industrial look of metal, with subtle glass elements for added sophistication. Custom finishes, varied storage options for different bottle sizes and decorative elements such as wine barrel ends or antique accents are other imaginative alternatives.
