How Bella Vita Wine Cellars Built this Lovely Home Wine Cellar

Our team of professionals in Orange County has extensive expertise in crafting unique and compact custom home wine cellar designs. These small wine cellars were designed specifically by Coastal Custom Wine Cellars and Bella Vita Wine Cellars for easy viewing of the wine collection within the living room. Considering the overall design of the house, we incorporated the modern wine room into the final plan.
To achieve a modern and minimalist style that complements the white-painted walls of the hallway, our team utilized wooden wine racks, a glass wine cellar door, and LED wine cellar lighting fixtures.
Custom Wine Racks with Traditional Approach
Wine cellar racks are important because they hold your wine bottles and add character to your wine cellar. In this
particular wine room, light-colored wood was used to create a gentle and bright atmosphere. Since the wine room doesn’t receive natural light, except through the glass door, opting for light-colored custom wine racks was a great idea to avoid a dark and gloomy feel.
Aside from the regular 750ml and magnum-sized bottles, there are also brandies, whiskies, vodkas, and other alcoholic beverages that come in stout, square-shaped bottles. If your collection includes different bottle styles, it’s important to have wine storage that can accommodate them all.
The Coastal Custom Wine Cellars team designed a unique wooden wine rack for this home wine cellar that can accommodate a variety of wines and spirits. The customer’s favorites were Cabernets, Pinots, Sangrias, and some Don Perignon, both in standard and magnum sizes, which paired well with their elaborate meals.
Upon entering the wine room through the glass door, you will notice the central shelf with a large, arched decanting table integrated into the rack. The upper half of the main shelf features slots for individual 750ml bottles and two vertical shelves for large wine bottles. Below that, there are two rows of high-reveal display racks with a light valance, followed by x-bins and horizontal shelves at the bottom.
