A personal vault with a collection of wine is the dream of many drink connoisseurs. It is not so difficult to build a wine cellar with your own hands under a summer house or cottage. In addition to finance, only accounting for basic rules and principles is required.

Convenient storage room

Open any catalog of furniture and goods for repair. There are large sections about bedrooms, living rooms, nurseries and many other rooms. The only thing that can be somehow imagined in the cellar is storage systems - convenient, but faceless designs.

Varieties of cellars

There are several types of cellars, first of all they are classified according to how much the storage is drowned underground.
  • Ground storage.
  • Semi-buried cellar.
  • Underground cellar.
The wine cellar stands apart. If we compare it with a storage for vegetables and harvesting, it will be much closer to a normal room. Storage of wine requires a special constant microclimate, odors that can ruin noble drinks are not allowed, so the wine is stored separately from other products. Wine cellars are a place where the owner can invite guests. There will be appropriate furniture - a table and chairs for tasting, a wardrobe for storing glasses.

Ground Design

The choice of design options for entering the cellar relates, rather, to architecture and landscape design, rather than to interior design. The entrances to the cellar, located inside the house or adjacent to it, are usually designed in the general style of the house itself or completely masked. If the cellar is located outside the house and has a separate entrance, it must be entered into the landscape of the site. Most often, the ground part is covered with earth, and instead of a separate building, you need to draw up a small hill. You can stylize it as you like. Instead of simply entering the repository on the site, you may see:
  • Rabbit hole or gnome house in a green hill.
  • Alpine slide with a secret hole hidden in it.
  • Clear steps to the underground factory.
The only general requirement is compliance with safety regulations. If the hill that has grown above the cellar is accessible for people (especially for children), it is worth considering the fencing of the cliff above the entrance.

Cellar Interior

Admittedly, the cellar is perceived as a purely office space. However, cellar finishes can be stylish. First of all, the cellar is designed to maintain a microclimate. Choosing options for its decoration, you must consider this. When choosing materials, it is worth paying attention to those that will help maintain constant temperature and humidity, will help drown out the vibration of the walls. Leave wallpaper and fabrics for your living quarters. In the cellar concrete, brick, stone, wood will look much more organic. People do not stay there, furniture is not needed. Styles that use a large number of small parts, textiles, complex shapes are not suitable for the cellar. The following is a brief overview of several styles that are best suited for storage design.

Country

The rustic style is perfect for decorating the cellar. Distinctive features of style:
  • The maximum use in the decoration of natural materials - wood, stone, tiles.
  • Muted natural colors.
  • The most simple design of furniture.
Many of the features of this style can be applied in a room such as a cellar.The flooring is wood of natural colors, matte tiles (tiles with hand-made imitation with uneven edges are best). Sex can be done in the way you did in the past. Instead of a smooth hard coating, backfill with sand or small pebbles. Smoothly plastered walls and wooden beams on the ceiling and walls.

Loft

Loft is a spacious and deliberately rude elements, factory romance. Its distinctive features:
  • Large areas, lots of light and air.
  • Neutral color scheme.
  • Imitation in decoration.
Most cellars cannot boast large areas and high ceilings. But the varieties of rough finishes there are practically unlimited, and as structural elements, they do not need to be invented on purpose. Concrete surfaces, brick or masonry - it is enough to simply leave them as they turned out during construction. Add storage systems in the form of welded structures, fixtures suitable for the style, and the atmosphere is ready.

High tech

A style designed to be as modern as possible, born of the rhythm of a big city. Steel, glass, light and air - at first glance, all this cannot be placed underground. The main features of the style:
  • Straight clear lines.
  • Widespread use of glass and metal elements.
  • The main palette of black, white, and all shades of gray.
  • Bright lighting.
For the embodiment of modernity in the repository, you can use the even white walls and ceiling, the rhythmic finish of the storage system with shiny metal, an abundance of hidden lighting. It’s more difficult to figure out how to use glass in the cellar, and glass surfaces give a feeling of lightness in the interior. One option is to cover the floor with shockproof glass tiles. Whatever style is chosen for decorating the cellar, it is quite difficult to sustain it completely. However, creativity and imagination will help to make even such a room not only useful, but also beautiful.
