Wall decoration


To begin with wall decoration, it is to keep in mind that cellar room walls ought to be completely dry to protect it from all types of moisture or wetness. Hence, painting should be done by moisture resistant paints only. You can opt for moister-proof gypsum wall. It is better to make a choice for dark colors for the walls. This will give more gravity and depth when you decorate the spaces with cellar racks, while wine casework will get merged with the wall painting and bring an exclusive uniformity. Well, in case you have a passion for soft colors, shades of different colors can also be used. An exclusive addition to walls is beautiful stone works as well sculptures that offer it a customary appearance.

Ceiling touch

Arched ceiling with timber design as well timber ceiling are the exclusives for wine cellar ceiling. You can plan for a wall paneling on the upper portion that can give a special look blending with the ceiling.

Flooring

Most of the people like to have wooden cellar floor as it looks excellent and a traditional touch is found. Woods should be rot proof, firm Mahogany but no use of Cedar as it is odorous. A gap should be maintained in between floor with the wall for later expansion of wooden floor materials. However, it needs to be sealed by molding after installation of the wine racks. You can also opt for designed ceramic floor which also look great in the cellar room.

Lighting

Lighting part is an extra attraction of your cellar room and it is to be used for decorations as well as functioning of the room. While, ample light should be used at the counter as well for the ease to read the wine labels, you can not use any florescent or bright light exposing the wines. So, lighting should be done with utmost care.

Use a combination of recessed cans and track lights in the ceiling part. Whereas recessed cans are low profile pointed light which can be used for focusing specific areas, track lighting are movable type that provides a better lighting  than recessed cans. However, the track lights should not be nearer to the wine racks. Display lighting can offer a special touch for wine cellar and these should necessarily be low-voltage systems. Accent lighting looks superb over the arched ceiling. Remember, few things about lighting. No harsh light can be used that produce ultra-violet as it is worse for valued wine collection. It is recommended to use dimmers by which level of lighting can be changed. For spreading or dispersing light over the cellar room as well floor, scones can be used along with chandelier to have a royal expression.

Furnishings

Arrange for tasting tables square or oval type along with decorative stools.
