4 ideas for integrating a wine cellar into your kitchen

If you are a wine lover, you will already know that keeping it at the right temperature is essential to enjoy all its characteristics. And if you are also designing your new kitchen, you will also be looking for inspiration to install a wine cooler in your kitchen to keep your favourite drink at the ideal temperature and humidity. In fact, it may be one of your priorities.

If that’s the case, get your Pinterest board ready because we bring you 4 ideas for integrating a wine bar in your kitchen that we’ve seen in projects from our distributors.

LG Agencement

Let’s start with an idea that is as simple as it is effective: install your wine cooler in the base units of your kitchen, as in this project by our French distributor LG Agencement.

All you have to do is make sure you have enough space to see the bottles and open the door.

This type of wine cooler is one of the most widespread on the market and you will find many different models to choose the one that best suits the style of your kitchen. In this case, they have opted for a wine cooler with wooden trimmings on the shelves to match the furniture and the worktop.

Sistema Cuina

With breakfast bar

We continue with one of the most popular trends at the moment: installing your wine cooler under the breakfast bar.

The example we bring you is from Sistema Cuina, one of our distributors in Catalonia. In this kitchen, they have divided the breakfast bar, which opens with a shutter door, into two areas by means of a shelf. In the lower part, there are the small electrical appliances needed to prepare the most important meal of the day so as not to add visual noise by placing them on the worktop.

The upper part is used in this case to store the wine glassware. To make it easier to see and bring warmth to this kitchen, light has been integrated into this unit.

Just below it, a wine cooler with a large capacity.

Discreet

If you like wine but leave it only for special occasions, maybe you don’t want to give it too much prominence in your kitchen.

This kitchen from our distributor Jorge Fernández Grupo gives us a good idea: “camouflage” it in the least visible area of the kitchen. In this case, in the inner part of the island. Here they have installed a small wine cooler that nevertheless has two different areas with different temperatures.

In front of it, they have strategically installed a glass cabinet with a glass door and interior light in which the owners of this kitchen keep the wine glasses.

Antares

In column

A short while ago we gave ideas for integrating the oven and microwave oven and we saw that a widespread trend was to place these appliances in a column.

Well, with this example from Antares we go one step further and we suggest including your wine cooler in the same column. Grouping the appliances in the same area (in this project they are even next to the fridge), will help us to reduce visual noise; something fundamental for integrating non-fitted appliances in kitchens with light tones. And if you also choose colours similar to those of your furniture for the appliances, all the better.
