The Latest Trend in Wine Cellar Design

Aesthetic appeal is one of the essential factors that we consider when building wine cellars. Working with a company with extensive knowledge in designing residential and commercial wine cellars will ensure that all of your requirements are met. At Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, we will bring your wine room to the next level using unique wine cellar accessories.

The aim of modern wine cellar design and construction is to build not only the best environment for aging and storing wines but also the most elegant space for showcasing and displaying different types of wine.  A recent trend in wine cellar design involves incorporating unique products into the design scheme.

Bold wine cellar design ideas create a space where the main attraction is not only the wines on display but also the wine cellar itself.  The addition of creative wine cellar ideas and innovative wine cellar accessories can increase the functionality of a wine storage space and enhance its visual appeal.

Some accessories that are fast becoming a must-have wine cellar feature are cooperage countertops, wine barrelhead carvings, glass stemware wine racks, and rolling ladders.

Cooperage Countertops

Wine Barrel Cooperage Countertop – an Eco-Friendly Feature You Can Add to Your Wine Cellar

Wine barrels have long been used for fermenting and aging wines before bottling them. One of the advantages of this wine storage method is that it helps improve the flavor and aroma of the wines stored in them. It imparts hints of caramel, vanilla, or spice to the wine.

After serving their purpose for five to seven years, they are sold as firewood or discarded in landfills. However, creative builders like Coastal Custom Wine Cellars found a way to reuse the reclaimed oak barrels and turn them into wine cellar accessories like countertops. Our team utilizes different parts of the wine barrels for creating eco-friendly features in wine cellars.

Cooperage countertops are constructed from reclaimed wood components that come from retired oak wine barrels.  The cooperage part of the wine barrel consists of the barrelhead, where authentic winery markings and stamps are found. These markings indicate the name of the winery and the wine components.

This unique feature is retained on the oak wood and gives custom countertops a distinct and timeless appeal that should lend a dramatic effect to any wine cellar space.  Display and serving countertops are some of the best places to incorporate reclaimed wine barrels because they are readily seen.

Since no two wine barrel wood components are the same, cooperage countertops create a stunning, one-of-a-kind custom wine cellar design.  Aside from their aesthetic advantages, cooperage countertops have practical benefits, such as long-lasting quality, sturdiness, and environmental sustainability.

Wine Barrel Carvings

Wine Barrel Carvings

The addition of exquisite wine cellar accessories, like carved wooden barrels, can bring a personalized look to a wine cellar space.  Wine barrel carvings are distinct wine cellar ideas that can definitely enhance the visual appeal of a wine storage space.

A barrel head carving is an old age technique that originated from Germany.  Back then, wine barrel carvings were considered a symbol of prestige and status for wineries.

Modern carved barrel heads are often used as decorative pieces to add a dramatic flair and increase the visual appeal of a custom wine cellar space.  Carved wine barrel heads can depict different designs, ranging from coats of arms to wine-themed scenes, landscapes, company logos, animals, human heads, fruits, and more.

Wine barrel carvings consist of the barrel head and several inches of surrounding hoops.  Unique carvings can be done on the entire wine barrel, but the tenth barrel head is the part used most often by skilled hand carvers (check out the works of the ingenious artisan, Peter Forbes).

The barrel end configuration undergoes reprocessing to enhance its structural integrity. The process involves taking the barrel ends apart and reattaching them, using an adhesive called polyurethane glue.  The glue adds durability and prevents the product from cracking.

Although there are various wood stains and finish options that can be applied to a completed reclaimed wine barrel head carving, most woodcarvers recommend little or no application of tints or colorants to show off the natural wood color and pattern.

These elegant art carvings are beautiful on their own.  The presence of wine barrel head carvings in a wine cellar space improves the overall design quality while bringing a sense of wine history.

Stemware Wine Rack Set

Adding attractive features to your wine racks will also enhance the visual appeal of your wine display and storage area. Seek the help of a professional designer to ensure satisfaction.

Another way to make your custom wine cellar attractive is by adding a stemware set, with which wine glasses can be hung upside down by the stem. Stemware racks allow wine collectors to store wine glasses in a secure place, easily within reach.  These wine cellar accessories also create a decanting or serving area for wines.  A backsplash allows for a personalized appeal, as it can be added with hanging art pieces or stone artwork and murals.

Stemware racks are usually crafted from the same wood material and applied with the same wood stain and finish options as the installed wine racking system in a wine storage space.  Using the same racking material provides uniformity in the color and texture of all wine cellar furniture.

Wine Cellar Rolling Ladders

Innovative wine cellar ideas, like wine cellar rolling ladders, make stunning additions to a custom wine room with a tall wine racking system.  Rolling ladders are ideal for wine cellars with wine racks that are more than eight feet in height.

Installing floor-to-ceiling wine racks can maximize storage capacity, and the addition of a rolling ladder allows for easy access to wine bottles stored in the hard-to-reach areas of a wine storage room.

Installation techniques for wine cellar rolling ladders include these options: upper assembly or hook assembly.  An upper assembly installation affixes a rolling ladder to the rail track, while a hook assembly securely fastens a step ladder to an elongated bar.

There is also a wine cellar design option that includes the installation of a special niche or alcove where rolling ladders can be stored when not in use.

Library-style ladders are offered in wood and aluminum.  Wood-based rolling ladders for wine cellars are designed and constructed from a wide selection of natural wood, while aluminum-based step ladders are available in a wide variety of metallic finishes.  Wine cellar rolling ladders add functionality and style to both residential and commercial wine rooms.

Wine Cellar Painting

Paintings on the walls or ceiling of a wine room are among the latest trends that we find interesting.  Coastal Custom Wine Cellars recently completed a residential wine cellar project, which involves converting a small closet located under the stairs into a wine room.

The owner wanted to add to the design the painting of his favorite artist, Janina Pazdan.  The painting was spread all over the ceiling and one side of the wall; the effect is really stunning.
