Wine Cellars with Pizazz!
Are you fan of wine cellars? More and more often we are seeing them as a prominent feature in luxury homes. There are so many different options, from a small under counter style to a full blown “wine room”.
Wine Cellars are a Sought After Feature in Luxury Homes:
We recently came across an article from MarketWatch.com that said wine cellars are the 3rd on the list of improvements to increase home value, studies have shown this value can add up to a 31% increase! Wow. So, if you’re thinking of adding a wine room to your home here are a few ideas to get your juices flowing…(Pun intended!)
-
Creating a counter with wine crates and corks can add a fun and unique appeal and it’s also functional, plus if wine spills it makes the look all the more authentic! Give it a try!
-
For a more modern and ‘club-esque’ effect add LED lights, we’ve seen these in a variety of colors like purple, red and green! You could even deck out the look to match your favorite sports team.
-
An actual room with brick and a rustic table can be a really fun way to enjoy your favorite wine. It’s more that just a glass of wine, it’s an experience!!
-
Having storage below and displaying a few ‘special’ bottles can be a really neat way to decorate the walls!
-
Put it behind glass, make the space feel like a wine store by adding shelving and glass doors that open up to your collection!
-
A stair niche is a great way to incorporate a wine cellar in a small space. It also looks really cool!
Whatever you choose, have fun with it! Who knows, it might be the feature that really helps “sell” your home!
