Exceptional wine storage begins with intentional design.
WineRacks.com provides custom residential wine cellar design for homeowners planning dedicated wine rooms, basement cellars, and luxury wine storage spaces. Our design services help clients determine the right wine rack layout, bottle capacity, materials, and cooling considerations before installation. Whether you are converting an existing room or building a cellar from scratch, our team guides the design process from concept to build-ready plans.
When Do You Need a Custom Wine Cellar Design?
You typically need custom wine cellar design if:
- You are building a dedicated wine room or cellar
- Your collection exceeds 100 bottles
- You want floor-to-ceiling or room-wrapping wine racks
- You plan to install a wine cooling system
- You want to match cabinetry, wood species, or architectural details
You may not need custom design if:
- You are storing under 50 bottles
- You are using a single wall-mounted wine rack
- You do not plan to temperature-control the space
