When it comes to adding a wine cellar or room to your basement remodel, there are several design options available to you. You’ll want to think about the answers to the following questions before meeting with your designer, so you’re able to help them understand exactly how to build a room that is perfect for you.

Do you want your wine cellar to be temperature controlled?

The number one question for homeowners considering a wine cellar is whether or not you want your room to be conditioned or non-conditioned. That is to say, are you looking for a temperature-controlled wine cooler, or a non-controlled standard storage space. The difference between the two is close to two entirely separate rooms.

A temperature-controlled room takes into consideration the need for venting and insulation, and often requires more space to allow for the electrical and plumbing needed to create a temperature-controlled room. A non-conditioned room is closer to a standard storage space and can be as large or small as you desire.

What experience are you looking for?

Experience is an important deciding factor when it comes to wine cellars. Because of their highly-customizable nature, and the ability to expand a wine cellar from a simple storage closet all the way to a walk-in room with seating, knowing what experience you want from your wine room is imperative.

If you’ve got a large wine collection that you’d like to access often or even display, and you love to entertain, a wine cellar large enough to include seating and walls of storage may be a great fit. If you’ve already got entertainment space, or maybe have kids in the house and want to keep your wine less accessible, a more storage-focused room may work for you

How much storage do you need?

Your wine collection size, now or in the future, will have an impact on the kind of wine cellar you’ll need. A large collection may mean a need for a bigger room, a walk-in, or even a temperature-controlled room. A smaller collection may mean you don’t need a full room but instead creative storage or displays worked in throughout your basement. Wine cellars are highly customizable and can be as simple as a unique wine rack installed on a feature wall.

What design are you looking for?

When it comes to wine cellars, design is a key feature. You have so many options! Choose whether you want to use a certain material like stone or brick throughout. Add unique lighting and archictechtural features perfect for a quiet space that may otherwise not fit in your home.

One of our favorite design pieces for a wine cellar? The door. Believe it or not, the door to a wine cellar can be not only a beautiful design element, but a highly functional one as well. Utilize a glass door for an open display, or a decorative iron door to conceal what lies behind it. A door can determine what level of access you’d like for your wine collection. For a truly unique touch, a bookcase door can hide your wine cellar away or even act as wine storage itself.

Customer Reviews

FBC Remodel is proud to Build Joy® for homeowners. See what our customers have to say about working with us.

“We can't say enough about the design team at FBC. We had multiple companies bid on our project and everyone else came back with the same basic design (a good but not spectacular layout). But FBC looked at the space from a completely different angle and in the process was able to create everything on our wishlist including an extra room. The design was elegant and functional and our family now benefits from it every day.”

Michael S.

“FBC did an amazing job with our 1600 sq ft basement. The sales team listened to our vision, offered several options and helped us stay within budget. Our PM was fantastic! We received daily communication with minimal life interruption, realistic expectations and partnered with us to ensure every aspect was covered. They even finished early!!! We had met with 2 other contractors and are so happy about our choice! They accommodated our quirky requests for a brewery room, rerouting our laundry dryer vent, closeting our water piping for access and exterior window well changes. Best choice ever!!!”

Heather R.

“The design/construction approach by FBC produced an excellent finished product for us. We added a large recreation room for pool, TV and games along with a bedroom and bathroom. Ceiling soffits, arched entries and angled walls created a unique and inviting space. The project team and trade partners did fine work and we are very happy with our new basement. All work was completed on schedule and within budget. The best part was having all construction access through the basement window. Our only advice is to carefully review all design details to assure that everything you want is clearly specified in the drawings. Then be part of the team by doing quality control as the project moves along.”
