Many wine connoisseurs face the problem of how to personalize their wine cellars. Luckily, there is a variety of wine cellar decorating ideas available to homeowners. One of the most popular wine cellar decorating ideas is to focus on the walls. They can be decorated with murals, mosaics, etched mirrors, painted tile, custom trim, or stained glass. Another popular focus of wine cellar decorating is the surfaces: tabletops for tasting can cork, tile, hand-cut mosaic, stone, or custom wood. Cabinet hardware and lighting can be specially chosen so that it fits in with the overarching wine cellar decorating ideas. Ceilings can be paneled and decorated with etched light boxes.
In addition to modifying parts of your wine cellar described above, another wine cellar decorating idea is to add elements. Wine cellars can be equipped with furniture; a tasting corner with a table and chairs can be a wonderful way to utilize your wine cellar space for more than just storage. Wine furniture can be made of wood from old wine barrels, giving your furniture a unique look. A tasting table can even be a vintage wine barrel, making your wine furniture a true conversation starter.
