Do you love wine? Do you enjoy entertaining guests? If so, then you may be interested in creating a wine lounge in your home. A wine lounge is a fantastic way to showcase your wine collection and provide a space for you and your guests to relax and enjoy a glass of wine.
Here are five tips to help you create the perfect wine lounge with a wine display:
-
Choose the Right Location: The first step in creating a wine lounge is to choose the right location. You want to choose a space that is comfortable and has enough room to accommodate furniture along with a wine display. One option is to convert a room in your home into a wine lounge. A spare bedroom, unused formal dining room, or living room all make great spaces. A wine lounge can also be added to a finished basement or a corner of your living room.
-
Design the Space: Once you have chosen the location, you can start designing the space. Consider the style and atmosphere you want to create. A wine lounge should be comfortable and relaxing with warm colors and soft, dimmable lighting. A sofa, armchairs, and ottomans can create the perfect seating area. You can also add a coffee table or side tables to create a functional space.
-
Select the Wine Display: The wine display is the centerpiece of your wine lounge. You can choose a custom walk-in wine display or a semi-custom, reach-in wine wall. Both options can be glass enclosed for maximum visibility and wow factor as well as being easily accessible. You can choose from a variety of racking options like wood, metal, or acrylic to create the perfect wine display.
-
Include a Wine Cooling System: Some homeowners opt to include a cooling system in their wine storage display area. Only the glassed-in portion of the room would be climate controlled to around 55°, leaving the seating area a comfy temperature for savoring your favorite bottle. There are a few factors to consider when deciding whether to include a cooling system, first the climate in which the space is located, the type of wine being stored, and the budget available. In general, a cooling system is essential for storing wine in a climate that is not naturally cool and consistent. A cooling system will help to ensure that the temperature and humidity in the wine cellar remain constant, which is essential for long-term wine storage. On the contrary, if you are looking for a wine display that is more for aesthetic purposes and your collection is comprised of wines intended for immediate consumption rather than long-term aging, a cooling system may not be needed.
-
Add some finishing touches: Once you have the basics in place, you can add some finishing touches to your wine lounge. This could include things like rugs, artwork, and plants all to create a great vibe and cozy atmosphere.
