Great wine deserves a great home – and so do your finest spirits!
Whether you’re curating a collection of rare vintages in a bespoke cellar or shaking the perfect cocktail in a sumptuous home bar, considered design can transform these spaces into fabulous spaces that add both character and value to your home.
A great cellar or bar isn’t just about somewhere to store your liquor, it’s about creating an experience. These spaces can be as much about ambiance and artistry as they are about function, setting the stage for intimate tastings, lively gatherings, or quiet moments of indulgence. Done right, your home bar or cellar can become an architectural highlight of your home where you can savour both fine drinks and fine design.
For the home bar, think rich materials, moody lighting, and plush seating, meanwhile, a wine cellar can be more than a temperature controlled storage facility. Whether it’s a sleek, glass enclosed showcase or a rustic underground retreat – with an added tasting area, your home cellar can transform into an immersive, sensory escape for yourself and your guests.
To inspire your home bar and cellar design, we’ve put together a collection of examples from some of the best designers both in Australia and internationally.
Relax, have a drink, and get ready to raise the bar!
