How to Design a Showstopper Wine Bar
We all know that few things are better than a glass of wine at the end of a long day, and it’s often more enjoyable in the comfort of your own home. Incorporating a stylish wine bar into your space is amazing for those much-needed nights in, as well as for entertaining guests. Whether you want a single wall display or a separate wine room, we have plenty of ideas to help you achieve a wine bar that will add value, functionality, and beauty to your home.
Lighting
When it comes to designing a standout wine bar, we recommend using lighting to your advantage! Great lighting has the power to elevate and illuminate the space for maximum utilization. We love using LED tape, small puck lighting, and decorative accent lighting to create a stunning visual display that highlights what’s important or visually stimulating.
2. Flooring
If your wine bar functions as a separate room, don’t be afraid to get creative with the flooring! There are plenty of flooring options that are durable and beautiful. We love the use of shaped concrete tiles, pavers, or stone to add interest and personality.
3. Bottle Display
If you’re a wine connoisseur or even just getting started with your collection, this is your time to shine. We like to change up how we display wine for our clients, and we encourage you to consider the many ways you can showcase your favorite bottles. Whether that is on metal stanchions, tall iron shelving, a slanted library-like display, or a horizontal display with a levitating effect, there are several options that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical for any occasion.
4. Plan It Out
With so many different finishes and layout options, it’s important to make sure a sufficient amount of planning takes place before starting your wine bar project. For example, you may want to consider how many bottles you would like to display or if you will need refrigeration. Are there any bottles you want to highlight? Do you need counterspace for pouring? These are all questions we ask when helping our clients design the perfect wine bar to suit their home and lifestyle.
One of life’s simple joys is unwinding with a glass of wine, and thankfully there’s no wrong time to build the wine bar of your dreams. Incorporating a wine bar into your home will increase its value while enhancing entertainment options for you and your guests. We hope these tips inspire your space so that the finished product suits all who get to enjoy it. RI Studio would love to help you bring that cocktail lounge experience to your home.
