Achieve Exceptional Wine Rack Design with Wood

Wood is a favorite material in wine rack construction. Its timeless beauty is unparalleled. Its warmness, earthy look, and fine grains are pleasing to the eye.

Wooden wine racks are compared to a chameleon because they blend well into any existing décor in your home. They can be customized into various designs, adding uniqueness to your home wine cellar. Some wood species look more attractive when stained or painted. Others look better when left unfinished.

There are different wood species that you can choose from. Some of these are mahogany, redwood, pine, and alder.

When it comes to beauty, mahogany is a top choice. Its reddish-brown color will provide your collection a stunning storage place. The wood’s color becomes darker over time. Because of mahogany’s flexibility, the design options are almost endless.

Mahogany wine racks are simply gorgeous, even when unstained, but looks more elegant when stained and lacquered.

There are two varieties of mahogany—prime mahogany and amber blaze. Prime mahogany exhibits a gorgeous grain pattern, making it ideal not only in building custom wine cellar racks, but also for high-end cabinetry and interior finishing. It is beautiful, even when unstained. If you want a more sophisticated look, you may opt to accentuate the beautiful grain by staining and lacquering it.

Amber blaze is another variety of mahogany. It is widely-used by residential wine cellar builders in building luxurious wine storage facilities. Its distinct dark reddish brown hue lends an elegant appeal, thus you can leave it unfinished. If you prefer a reddish sheen in your racking, you may polish it. Choosing this wood for your wine racks will make your wine room a classy place for entertaining friends.

Redwood is also one of the favorite choices in California residential wine cellar projects. As the name implies, the wood has a reddish color.

When stained and lacquered, the lovely grain patterns of this wood are emphasized, creating an exceptional look in your wine cellar.

Pine Wine Cellar Racks

There are wine connoisseurs who love a vintage look for their wine cellar. If you’re one of them, choosing a racking made of pine is recommended. Pine is a light colored wood with some eye-catching knots and grain patterns. These features give pine wine racks a decorative look, and an ability to fit both traditional and modern styled homes.

This type of wood will easily go well with any wall color, and with other furniture pieces in your wine cellar. A more custom look is achieved when your pine racks are stained.

For tall wine racking systems, a custom rolling ladder is a good option. The ladder can be moved from one wall to another, allowing you to safely utilize out of reach storage slots in a stylish way.  It adds a distinctive feature to your space and can be made of the same wood as your racking.
