You do not need to go over your budget to have a custom-looking wine room. You can opt for a modular wine cellar, an economical storage solution for a growing collection. In Coquitlam, British Columbia, a client of Blue Grouse Wine Cellars originally had a few modular storage racks. They wanted to create a custom-looking wine cellar by adding more modular units. Blue Grouse Vancouver created a unique and effective wine cellar design according to their client’s requirements. 

A Master Builder Has Created an Effective Home Wine Cellar Design for a Growing Collection

One of the challenges that residential wine cellar builders often encounter is finding a storage solution that will fit the client’s growing collection, budget, and space.

At Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, they can overcome any challenge in wine cellar construction. With extensive experience and passion in building effective wine rooms, they were able to create a functional wine storage space for their clients in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The owners originally had a few modular storage racks, which they bought from Blue Grouse. Later on, they decided to build a dedicated Vancouver home wine cellar to store their favorite vintages. So they came back to Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, and purchased more modular wine racks.

The racking had to be installed in a utility space, located in the lower level of their home. The wine cellar, which has an area of 7 square feet, was designed to hold approximately 680 bottles.

Modular Wine Racking System – a Flexible Solution for a Budget-Savvy Collector

Your wine rack design should not only enhance your storage space. It should also suit the size of your room, the size of your collection, and your budget.

With the increase in demand for unique wine storage solutions, modular wine racks are becoming more popular among homeowners. This racking solution is ideal for budget-conscious homeowners, who are planning to expand their collections in the future. Another benefit of the modular racking system is its ability to create a custom look in your wine room without breaking the bank. Investing in fully customized wine cellar is much more expensive.

Blue Grouse Wine Cellars offers a wide range of high-end modular storage units. Since these wine racks are available in different sizes and designs, clients will have more options to mix and match racking configurations. You can customize your own racking layout using the modular dimensions found at http://bluegrousewinecellars.com/racks/bluegrousewineracks.html, or you can send your requirements to blue Grouse, if you want them to create a 3-dimension plan for you.

With various wood options and racking designs to choose from, it best to discuss your requirements with your chosen specialist. At Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, their goal is to create wine rack designs that will satisfy both the aesthetic and functional needs of their clients.

Beautiful Racking Configurations Combined

An elegant wine storage room was created by combining attractive wine rack configurations. There are individual bottle slots at the top sections of the left and right walls. Below these sections is a horizontal display row, which runs horizontally through the middle of the racking. It features specific vintages from the owner’s collection. The lower section of the racking consists of the diamond bins, which are intended for bulk storage.

The focal point of the room is the back wall. It has a beautiful backsplash, made from reclaimed wood. This eco-friendly feature adds visual appeal to the Vancouver home wine cellar.

Blue Grouse also added a countertop area at the back wall, which gives a good view of the backsplash. The countertop provides a convenient space for decanting and pouring wine. It can also be used to display a few bottles, and store wine glasses, decanters, and other accessories that you want to keep within the racking. The countertop is constructed from plywood that matches the finish of the modular wine racks.

The Racking Material Used to Create an Impressive Vancouver Home Wine Cellar Design

Your choice of wine rack material can make or break the look of your wine room. It is for this very reason that you should seek the help of an expert. The common materials used in manufacturing wine storage racks are wood and metal. Wood is a favorite choice of homeowners who want to achieve a warm ambiance in their wine cellars. Additionally, wood is durable, flexible, and can blend well with any decor.

The owners chose All Heart California redwood to match their existing modular wine racks. Redwood has the ability to absorb and retain any type of finish very well.  Its reddish brown color and beautiful grain patterns add sophistication to a wine room. Expect darker hues as the wood ages.

The sturdiness of this material provides redwood wine racks with the ability to withstand the humid conditions in wine cellars. Redwood storage racks contains natural wood preservatives that make them highly resistant to insects, molds, decay, warping, and shrinkage. They can last long even without staining or finishing the wood.

The Design of the Modular Wine Racking System in Surrey, BC

The modular wine rack installed by Blue Grouse in the wine storage solution in Surrey, BC was a unique combination of kits. It had very interesting features, that, all together, made the wine cellar look elegant and classy. The wine racking system’s features includes:

1. An Archway Feature

The modular wine racking system’s design included a lovely archway feature. This feature was the only slightly customized feature of the residential wine cellar. It was included in the design to give the wine storage room a little bit of flare.

2. Countertop Feature

The client wanted the future home owners to have a flat surface to use to sort out and organize the wines in their collection,and so a countertop feature was included in the wine cellar’s design. For illustration purposes, a wine bottle was placed on the countertop in this photo.

3. Combined Modular Wine Racking

The wine racking in this project was 7 feet tall, which is the standard height for all wine racks made by Blue Grouse Wine Cellars. To make the design of this home wine cellar in Surrey, BC more interesting, the wine racking used was a combination of modules.

a. Wine Racks with Individual Bottle Slots 

The first type of wine rack module included in this wine cellar was comprised of standard wine racks that could accommodate individual wine bottles. These wine racks cater to standard sized wine bottles.

b. Diamond Bins Module

Diamond X bins are the second type of wine racks in the Surrey wine cellar. These racks accommodate large sized wine bottles. Diamond bins also have removable slats, which the homeowners can opt to remove if they want to increase the storage capacity, or if they want to fit in some small wood cases.

Blue Grouse recommends that their clients store the same types of wine bottles in one bin, so that their collection is conveniently organized. They won’t need to pull bottles from the bottom of the bin, and thus, avoid moving the wine too often.

4. Display Row

Once the combined modules were stuck together, the area in the middle that connected all of them became the display row. This display row tilted the wine bottles at a 15 degree angle, which was adequate to keep wine corks moist, while allowing the labels to be visible.

5. Wine Cellar Lighting

Rope lighting was included in the wine racking. The lighting started inside the archway and carried on through the display row. The lighting added a beautiful dramatic effect to the wine racking design.

A lamp was also included, as seen in this photo. The lamp uses LED lighting, a type of lighting that does not generate too much heat, and does not consume much electricity.

6. Curved Corners

Another feature that made the design of this Surrey wine cellar more interesting were the curved corners, made of individual bottle slot wine racks.

Beautiful and Durable Wood Used for the Wine Racks

The modular wine racks in this residential wine cellar in Surrey, BC were made from All Heart California Redwood. This type of wood is harvested from the middle part of the Redwood tree. Its distinct characteristic is a consistent reddish color all through out.
