New California Custom Wine Cellars in Santa Ana: Impressive and Stylish Renovation Job
Interior Designer Residential Home Renovation Wine Room Project
The owners of a beautiful California home contacted Coastal Custom Wine Cellars because they needed help with the renovation of their old-school wet bar area. They wanted to transform it into a wine storage room along with the overall renovation of their house. Our team worked closely with the interior designer to ensure everything was in place. We created a well-thought-out design for 585 bottles.
This completed master wine cellar builders project is a custom wine cellar constructed in Santa Ana California. After a thorough consultation with the home’s interior designer and owners, we decided to gut the room down to the studs. They took up the existing flooring for the new tiles that would extend to the new wine room, leaving a raw canvas to work with.
As part of the process, we created 3-dimensional drawings, including the racking styles and various elevation views of the residential wine cellar. The CAD images allowed the owners to have a better visualization of the completed wine room. We submitted the design to the owners, and once they approved it, we proceeded with the installation process.
Racking Styles
California Custom Wine Cellars Renovation Project
We created a focal point on the back wall, where we added a crescent table with diamond bins below it for large-format bottles and bulk storage. We also added individual wine racks in the bottom section.
Wet Bar at the start of the project to be converted into a residential custom wine cellar in Santa Ana California.
These horizontally displayed bottles are located on both sides of a stunning lattice-style arch centered on the back wall of the wine room. Having an arch like this can be useful for presenting and pouring wine but also a significant feature as you can have an interesting themed mural painted on the wall at the back of the display area. The sidewalls consist of a high-level display row and a quarter-round display rack as the end racking. Up to fifty of the wine bottles can be displayed in a label-forward manner.

Wine Cellar Cooling System
When building climate-controlled custom wine cellars like this, we always make sure that there is a high-grade wine cooling system installed by our HVAC technician. This wine room has a full wine cellar refrigeration system and a capacity for up to 585 bottles of wine.
We utilized a ductless split wine cellar refrigeration system from US Cellar Systems, a manufacturer of high-grade wine cooling units. We have been using their products for many years now in building California custom wine cellars.

This amazing wine cellar was part of a large renovation project for a beautiful home in Santa Ana, California (Orange County).
Our portion of the overall renovation project was to take an old-school wet bar area that the owners felt needed to be updated, along with the rest of the house, and turn it into a beautiful purpose-built custom wine cellar. On this job we worked closely with the interior designer for the whole renovation project, Connie Robertson.
After a lot of consultation with Connie and the homeowners, we gutted the room down to the studs. Even the flooring was taken up in preparation for the new tile floor that will extend beyond the new wine room area. The result was a completely raw canvas to work with for the wine cellar design itself.
As is normal with our process, we created a three-dimensional design package for the owners to review. This consisted of multiple views of each wall and elevation, image left. In the next photo, image right, you can definitely see an improvement, a fabulous up to date wine cellar. This climate-controlled wine cellar has space for 585 Bottles of which over 50 bottles are displayed in a label forward, horizontal format. These display bottles are located on each side of the exquisite Lattice styled Arch which is centered on the back wall. Having an area like this is great as you can have a mural painted on the wall or even a tiled mural filling the space.
Incorporated into the design is a crescent-shaped table top and centered below that is a beautiful solid Diamond Bin for bulk storage and large format bottles. The owners in this case chose to have the tabletop made out of the same wood as the racks, however, the possibilities are endless. We have created table tops in granite, reclaimed doors, reclaimed wine barrels, tile; we can create just about anything you can imagine.

Concealed Wine Cellar Cooling Ductless Split System Orange County
In the image above the clear glass walls and door have yet to be installed, however, the wine cooling unit has been installed. Not that you would know by looking at the image, the cooling was purposely installed in such a way that there are no visible mechanical components of the cooling unit to be seen. The evaporator coil, for instance, has been placed in the soffit in the ceiling and covered by a wooden louvered grill cover custom-made out of the same material as the wine racks. The refrigeration system installed was a Ductless Split Wine Cellar Refrigeration System and was supplied by US Cellar Systems, a local cooling unit manufacturer in Orange County California. We often use US Cellars as they are local, have excellent quality products and first class service.
In the next image, you can clearly see some more of the features that have been included. For instance, you can see the Lattice-styled Quarter Round Display shelves which are actually at the ends of both wall wine racks on the side walls.
Concealed Wine Cellar Lighting for Wine Display Rows
You will notice there is also what is known as a ‘reveal row’. This is where the bottles are placed at an angle so that you can see their labels but not so upright that the wine is not in constant contact with the wine. Above these reveal rows we have installed an LED light valance to highlight the labels on the bottles as well as a light inside the top of the arch which highlights the tasting table. With symmetrical left and right walls that are, for the most part, single bottle storage except for the middle section where the horizontal and tilted display rows create an LED-highlighted visual feature in the room. The LED lighting was carefully concealed behind a light valance hiding the lights themselves but allowing them to illuminate selected feature wines. Wine cellar lighting like this, which is dedicated to drawing the eye to certain sections of the wine display, really makes a dramatic aesthetic impact.
The image below clearly shows that both walls have Lattice-styled wine racks that end in the Quarter Round Display shelves. These were included in the design as the entire front wall of the custom wine cellar is glass including the wine cellar door. With the new tiled floor, the whole thing looks absolutely stunning.

Dwight & Marianne Titus Custom Wine Cellar Project California
This whole custom wine cellar was constructed of custom Malaysian Mahogany with a Rustic Stain and Clear Lacquer Top Coat Finish to give it a glossy patina.
The wine room project didn’t take long at all; the work began on the cellar in March-2012 and was completed in June-2012. As you can see by the smiles on the faces of the owners, Dwight & Marianne Titus, they are pretty pleased with how the whole thing turned out.
You can also see behind the owners the Seamless Fixed Glass Wall & Entry Wine Cellar Door. Having this ‘all glass wall and door’ allows the Titus’es to see and enjoy their wine cellar without compromising the climate-controlled atmosphere inside. Special thanks to Dwight & Marianne Titus for allowing us to feature their new wine room here on our website.
Video Transcript – Tour Of a Beautiful Wine Cellar In This Lovely Home in Santa Ana, California.

Hi, and thanks for visiting Coastal Custom Wine Cellars. We’re gonna take you on a tour today of a beautiful wine cellar in this lovely home in Santa Ana, California. This home was un undergoing a major renovation, and as you might imagine, our portion of the project was to take this kind of old-school wet bar-looking area and turn it into a beautiful wine cellar. So after a lot of consultation with Connie Robertson, the interior designer, and the homeowners Dwight and Maryanne, we actually gutted the room. Basically had a raw canvas now to work with.
We, a few days later, we had a three-dimensional design package created for them to consider. And they weren’t really looking for anything over the top, just a well-balanced display with an arched area. Some subtle elegance, if you will. So, you know, this is the overhead view of the wine room.

Quarter Round Display Shelves Create a Nice Visual as the Entire Front is a Glass Wall
All the perimeter dimensions are posted. Each wall is typically labeled b, c, and so on. Total bottle capacities are always posted. And then how those bottles break down into various components here.
So let’s these little half-round racks here, as you’ll see in the photographs, in the 3D views here in a moment, these are called quarter-round display shelves. So, makes a nice visual because the entire front entry area is a, is a glass wall and glass entry. So the left side and the right side walls are identical. They are, for the most part, single bottle storage racks with a high reveal display row. And we placed LED lighting in this light valance area to illuminate those areas. And a little bit of label forward horizontal display as well.
The wall across from the entry, again more horizontal displays to the left and to the right of the arched area and a diamond bin, which was really a nice feature not only from a visual perspective but also it’s a good management tool for, for some of the bulk storage that they had in large format bottles.

And we also had a grill cover, which was actually concealed and flush with the ceiling to this actually concealed the split refrigeration fan coil that actually supplied the cold air supply and return to the wine cellar and some 3D visuals.

Another Wine Cellar is Completed!
It’s a little bit of an arch, kind of a crescent-shaped tabletop we created as well. So all in all, a very nice cellar. This is the completed, just about completed. They haven’t actually installed the glass wall or entry just yet. They have, we’ve chosen a Malaysian mahogany and we stained it what we call a rustic stain, and we put a clear lacquer finish over it to give it kind of a more furniture, quality luster versus a matte finish. All in all, a fun project to work with. And we’d, we’d certainly like to help you design and, and move forward with your project. If you have one, you can reach out to us at by our website at www wine sellers my coastal.com, or call me at (949) 355-4376. Cheers.
