Wine cellars are the place to keep all your prized bottles of wine. It should be at the right temperature and ensure that wine is always fresh and chilled when it comes up for any occasion, whether it’s a party or just a simple dinner. You’ll want to keep it from getting too warm or too cold. This is why an excellent wine cellar should be finished off with an equally excellent wine cellar door.
A good quality wine cellar door should seal well and blend well with your home. There are plenty of designs and styles that you can choose from that will work nicely. You will find that most wine cellar doors include glass, giving people a peek inside of your wine cellar. Today’s wine cellars are not always actually below ground. With modern technology and design, we can now create a wine cellar that is temperature-regulated and at the same level as the kitchen for quicker access and a stunning look. Including glass in your wine cellar door allows you and others a look inside for a bit of pride and admiration.
Doors vary in that you can have several panels, panels broken up in different patterns, a smaller window, or a door that is almost entirely glass with only a wooden trim. Glass doesn’t have to be transparent either. You can have glass that comes with patterns etched into it or in a frosted form. The doors themselves can come in the traditional rectangular shape or you can opt for something a little different, such as a slight arch at the top or the entire door can be arched for a more old world look.
Take the time to examine not just your wine cellar, but the rest of your house. You don’t want the door to appear too out of place. What style of house do you own? What do the other doors look like? Is your wine cellar above ground and visible? Does it have a modern look to it that would be complemented by a modern style door? What sort of wood do you incorporate into your home?
A great way to compare door types is to use a tip often employed by those seeking to get a new front door. Take a picture of your wine cellar opening and then substitute the doorway image with various images of wine cellar doors. You can easily find various images of them online. If that doesn’t work for you, simply talk to a professional. Tell him about your home and the kind of ambiance you hope to gain through a good wine cellar door. He or she should have some great suggestions for you.
