Bespoke Wine Rooms & Cellars

Wine storage has to be right on two counts: the bottles need stable conditions, and the room needs to look like part of the house rather than a piece of equipment.

We design racking to the bottle formats you keep, coordinate glazing and climate control with the relevant specialists, and detail the joinery so the collection is the thing you notice.

What the service includes

01

Racking design

Individual bottle racks, bin storage, magnum and case shelving sized to your collection and how it grows.

02

Glazed walls and doors

Framed glazing and doors set out with your glazier so the room seals correctly and still looks refined.

03

Climate coordination

Positions and access for cooling equipment planned with the supplier before the joinery is built.

04

Serving and display

Tasting counters, display bays and lighting that shows labels without heating the bottles.

Materials & finishes

Finishes are chosen with you and sampled before anything is built, so the colour, grain and hardware are agreed while the design is still on paper.

  • Oak and walnut racking
  • Blackened and brushed steel
  • Framed glazing
  • Stone tasting counters
  • Cool low-heat LED display lighting

How the project runs

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We visit the space or meet at the workshop, talk through how the room needs to work, and agree a realistic budget before any drawings are issued.

  2. 02

    Design

    Measured drawings show exactly what is being built: cabinet sizes, storage layout, sightlines and how the furniture meets the building.

  3. 03

    Materials & Finishes

    Timbers, paint colours, worktops and ironmongery are sampled and agreed, so nothing is decided from a photograph alone.

  4. 04

    Manufacture

    Everything is built in our Derbyshire workshop by the people who will install it, which keeps the detailing and the quality consistent.

  5. 05

    Installation

    We fit, scribe and adjust on site, protect the rest of the house while we work, and walk the finished furniture through with you.

Wine Rooms & Cellars projects

Case studies for this collection are being photographed and written up. In the meantime, we can show you completed work when we meet, or send photographs of similar projects on request.

Wine Rooms & Cellars — common questions

Do we need a cellar for a wine room?
A cellar is not required. Glazed wine walls and wine rooms work well on ground and upper floors, provided the space is properly insulated and a suitable cooling system is planned from the outset. We coordinate with climate control specialists during design so temperature and humidity are controlled correctly, whatever level of the house the room sits on.
Do you supply the cooling equipment?
We do not supply cooling equipment ourselves, but we coordinate closely with climate control specialists during design so the joinery is built around the chosen system from the outset. Positions for units, ducting and access panels are agreed before manufacture, so the finished wine room looks considered rather than having equipment added as an afterthought.
