Impressive Traditional Home Wine Cellar in Vancouver

We will give you a tour of an inspiring project completed by Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, one of our partners in wine room construction. This creative team built a stylish home wine cellar in Vancouver with elegant features, including wood wine racks, LED lighting, glass door, and flooring.    

Traditional Home Wine Cellar in Vancouver Built by Blue Grouse Wine Cellars 

Blue Grouse Wine Cellars is known for its expertise and passion for building wine rooms. For many years, their team has transformed spaces into eye-catching wine storage and display areas. We have been working with them for many years, providing a worry-free experience to each client.  

In one of their recent projects, they designed a beautiful home wine cellar in Vancouver. The homeowners wanted a traditional design using wood wine racks. The expert builders came up with a wine storage design for 420 bottles, and the end product was impressive!  

The room measures 119” W x 43” D x 102” H, is located on the main floor beside the bar area adjacent to the stairs. A design was created based on the assessment conducted by Blue Grouse Wine Cellars.   

Wine Rack Features 

Blue Grouse Wine Cellars installed custom wine racks so the client could incorporate features they desire for their wine room. The racking design and material play a significant role in achieving the overall appeal of the wine cellar.  

Using Oak for the Racking Material  

In this traditional home wine cellar project in Vancouver, the Blue Grouse team installed wood wine racks made from Oak. Wood is known for its timeless appeal and ability to create a warm ambiance and classic touch to wine cellars. It can also blend well with any existing décor. The client’s home has a modern design, but they wanted to have a traditional wine cellar. Wood wine racks look perfect! 

Oak is a durable and versatile hardwood known for its unique grain patterns and ability to take stains well. It can withstand high humid conditions in refrigerated wine cellars and is highly resistant to mold and mildew. Blue Grouse Wine Cellars applied the wine racks with a dark brown custom finish to achieve a richer look.      

Racking Styles  

Wine Rack Design wood wine racks Traditional Home Wine Cellar

When designing the wine racks, it is vital to consider the sizes of the bottles intended to be stored in the wine room. In this traditional home wine cellar in Vancouver, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars combined various racking styles to create an exceptional wine display.  

Elevation A 

Elevation A is the back wall or the wall across the doors. It consists of the longest racking in the wine cellar. Blue Grouse Wine Cellars included individual wine racks on the left and right sections of the wall and angled display rows at the middle of the racking. Below the display rows are diamond wine racks.   

They also added a floor-to-ceiling single-deep horizontal display rack at the center of the wall, flanked by quarter-round display shelves. These shelves are intended for displaying stemware, decanters, and other wine accessories and accouterments.  

Elevation B  

Elevation refers to the right wall of the wine cellar. It consists of individual wine racks at the top section, an angled display row in the middle, and wood case storage bins (with adjustable selves) at the bottom.   

Wine Cellar Lighting System, Door, Wall, and Flooring 

Installing the proper wine cellar lighting system will illuminate your wine cellar and wine collection effectively. Blue Grouse Wine Cellars installed an LD lighting system above the display rows. The pot lights on the ceiling were installed by our partner in this project.
