Amazing Basement Wine Cellar Transformation in Richmond
Basement wine cellars are often the most interesting to have in a home because the rather dark ambience creates a mysteriously cool vibe. Harvest Wine Cellars and Saunas custom builds basement wine cellars, and we’re experienced at producing wine cellars in slightly challenging spaces, like an unmaintained basement in Richmond, Virginia. In this article, we want to show you a special basement wine cellar that we built inside a home and how we transformed the space from a dusty, worn-out storage space to an awesome, fully climate-controlled wine cellar.
Stay tuned as we will be adding more details soon!!
This is a first look at our basement wine cellar which you can replicate in your Richmond home.
This home's basement was used as a storage area before it became a wine cellar, and wasn't given much maintenance like many other residential basements.
The original basement had a beautiful stone wall so we retained a part of that for this basement wine cellar.
Since the cement beams of the original basement was for structural support, we opted to cover them in wood so they blend in within the traditional aesthetic of the soon-to-be basement wine cellar.
Here is a close-up of this basement wine cellar's renovation ceiling beams.
The owner wanted to retain the stone wall, so we decided to custom build a wine rack with a finish that matches the color of the stone. This resulted in a very traditional-looking basement wine cellar.
This basement wine cellar has a low ceiling so we built the wine racks from floor to ceiling to maximise the space.
There was enough floor space to add a small wine tasting table set in this basement wine cellar.
We added a custom wine cellar lighting system for this basement wine cellar so the displays look more curated.
