When I envision a wine cellar, I picture a dark, cave-like room outfitted with stone, wood and old wine barrels. But, for those of us who are more contemporary in our personal style, wouldn't it be fun to design an equally contemporary wine cellar? From my perspective, contemporary design in this setting is really all about showing the structure of the wine cellar — strip away all the rustic elements and highlight the wine. Here are some great examples of how to bring in contemporary stylings to your wine cellar.
| Bottles of wine in an acrylic structure bathed in blue light create a stunning architectural element in this beautifully designed space. The large wooden spheres and cross-cut wood tile floor add warmth and a touch of the rustic, but in a contemporary way.

| This contemporary space also highlights the storage system — simple metals rods extend from the slatted wall — and shows off the bottles. There is no extra hardware. Note the nice lighting, artwork and great tasting area. The glass enclosure keeps the space open and airy feeling. Private Comment

Backlit shelving allows the shape of the bottles to be used almost like art. The play of light off the walls adds another interesting set of textures and colors.

| Dressed in white, this small kitchen is a perfect companion to a glass-enclosed wine storage area. If you are not able to have an entire kitchen setup, at least consider a small countertop and sink area. It will make the whole space more functional and enjoyable. Private Comment

| I just imagine walking the Italian countryside and coming across some door in the side of a cliff. I walk through the door and into a fantastic wine cellar.

Here, the clean lines of the wine storage are a nice counterpoint to the rustic table and stone surroundings. |
This small wine cellar could be tucked under a staircase or put in an unused closet or ia basement. The clean lines of the wood surround, simple bottle hanging system and lighting keep it feeling contemporary but warm.

A small set of wine cubbies sits perfectly next to the kitchen area and tucked next the staircase. What probably was an underutilized area is given new life and purpose.

This peg-board system allows the owners to change the layout of the storage depending on what they want to highlight. By removing some pegs and installing shelves, they were able to show off their pricey champagne (which I like to imagine they purchased on a recent trip to France).

Hello I recently discovered a fabulous wine cellar storage system and am currently looking at becoming a distributor in Canada. It is called Spiral Cellars.
It's the quickest, cheapest and easiest way of building a wine cellar for your house.
A watertight, pre-cast cylindrical system that’s sunk into the ground, it can be located anywhere from kitchen to conservatory, workshop to study. It can be installed into an existing ground floor room, or incorporated into the build of an extension or new property.
If you're the sort of person who never keeps any wine for more than a week or two then a cellar might not be necessary. But if you always like to have a few dozen bottles around the place and tend to keep bottles for months or years before drinking them, then you need a Spiral Cellar.It can keep up to 1,900 bottles in perfect storage conditions and since, like a traditional cellar, it relies on the surrounding earth for its insulation, plus an ingenious air-flow system, it requires no power to maintain its constant temperature. Once it's paid for, that's it - no more expenses except for the wine itself, of course!

Love the creativity shown here. Our contractor recently turned space that would have been underused into a wine cellar with the creative placement of a wine rack under the stairs - and now it's everyone's favorite room in the house!

I like the two with the metal rods extending forward the best. Such a clean look. I'm wondering if there is a system like this for sale or if those are both totally custom?

Unfortunately wine doesn't last long enough in my house to afford cellar.

We don't use the shower in our downstairs guest bathroom so we turned it into wine cellar. People love it. And when someone leaves the dinner table to use the restroom we can ask them to bring back a bottle of wine.
