For some people, a wine or bottle rack is merely a functional storage item, while for others, it’s a statement piece that can spruce up any kitchen, dining or even living room. The choices are only limited by your imagination, from sleek and modern to rustic and charming, there is something for everyone’s taste.
The world of wine rack designs
There are many different types of wine or bottle rack for many different settings, some are available to buy ready made but if really want something unique, you could always make it yourself. Our PolyBoard software can assist you in this endeavour.
Wall mounted wine racks
Wall-mounted racks are space saving, sleek and ideal for smaller spaces, maximizing vertical space while keeping your wine or bottle collection readily accessible. They can be made in a range of styles, from minimalist metal grids to decorative wood shelves; wall-mounted racks offer endless design possibilities. Be sure to mount them securely, you don’t want your wines coming to an unhappy demise.
Countertop racks
Probably the most familiar, also compact and therefore ideal for smaller kitchens or apartments, they offer easy access to your bottles while taking up minimal counter space. Perfect for displaying a few favorites, countertop racks are both functional and visually appealing. We’ve all seen the end-on racks made from blocks of wood and strips of metal but surely you can do better than that.
Freestanding racks
If you’re a serious collector or just enjoy whatever is in your bottles so much that you need to have large quantities readily available, then a freestanding rack is your obvious choice. These racks can become a focal point in a room, adding a touch of elegance to your dining area or living room. Alternatively, whole walls can be devoted to the purpose in a room or cellar that is less obtrusive.
Under-counter or built-in
With the rise in popularity of modular kitchens, under-counter or built-in racks have become a staple in many modern kitchens. Under-counter racks keep your wine collection neatly organized and out of sight, while still being easily accessible, while their built-in counterparts make more of a show piece or design element.
Wine racks as art
Many modern wine racks are designed to be as much about aesthetics as they are about function. They can become conversation starters, adding a touch of personality and sophistication to your home. Whether you opt for a minimalist metal grid or a handcrafted wooden masterpiece, your wine rack can be a true reflection of your style and a testament to your appreciation for the art of wine.
