Explore the Elements
Every LivinVino wine cellar is built from carefully selected components racking, shelves, lighting, and finishes that define both the look and the experience. Browse our key elements below and explore dedicated pages for options, materials, and design inspiration.
Racking Systems
A great cellar starts with the right racking architecture. We design layouts that balance capacity, visibility, and rhythm so your bottles are stored correctly and your cellar feels intentional, not crowded.
Options we design
- Wall racking (full-height, clean vertical lines)
- Modular racking (flexible, scalable for future growth)
- Floor-to-ceiling compositions (statement walls with strong symmetry)
- Mixed storage zones (aging storage + display rows)
- Corner / wrap-around layouts (maximize capacity in compact rooms)
Design notes
- Built for bottles stored lying down for optimal aging
- Spacing and geometry adapted to Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne & mixed formats
- Can integrate lighting channels and metal detailing without visual clutter
Shelves & Sliding Shelves
Shelves define how you interact with your collection. From elegant fixed clayettes to premium sliding shelves, we tailor the experience easy access, stable storage, and a refined feel at every touch.
Options we design
- Fixed shelves (classic, efficient, clean)
- Sliding shelves (smooth runners, effortless access)
- Display shelves (angled or label-forward presentation)
- Soft-close systems (luxury movement, reduced vibration)
- Mixed shelf rhythm (alternating depths/heights for visual structure)
Best for
- Collectors who want daily access without disturbing surrounding bottles
- Projects where comfort + presentation matter as much as capacity
Label-Forward Display
Label-forward presentation transforms storage into a gallery. We create elegant display lines that highlight key bottles and add a “luxury retail” effect without compromising preservation.
Options we design
- Label-forward rows integrated into racking
- Feature display bands (horizontal “hero” line)
- Angled presentation shelves (soft tilt for visibility)
- Backlit display niches (warm glow, high-end look)
- Mixed presentation (display + horizontal aging storage)
Design notes
- Ideal for showcasing grands crus, rare bottles, or your favorite producers
- Best paired with warm lighting scenes and dark accents for contrast
Lighting Design
Lighting is what turns a cellar into an atmosphere. We design layered lighting functional where you need it, warm and discreet where you want emotion so the cellar looks stunning day and night.
Options we design
- Ambient perimeter lighting (soft overall glow)
- Integrated shelf lighting (subtle lines, no glare)
- Accent lighting for display rows and niches
- Backlighting for feature zones (premium “museum” effect)
- Scene control (welcome / service / showcase moods)
Recommended tone
- Warm white for a luxury feel (no harsh showroom effect)
- Hidden sources to keep the cellar clean and timeless
Materials & Wood Finishes
The material palette defines the identity of your cellar. We select woods and finishes that feel luxurious, age beautifully, and match your interior—while keeping the cellar visually calm and refined.
Options we propose
- Oak (timeless, warm, premium)
- Smoked / dark-toned woods (dramatic, masculine, high-end)
- Walnut-style tones (rich, elegant, architectural)
- Matte vs satin finishes (modern softness vs subtle sheen)
- Textured or slatted details (adds depth without clutter)
Design notes
- Finish selection is aligned with lighting temperature and metal accents
- We keep grain direction and joint lines consistent for a “crafted” look
Metal & Hardware Finishes
Metal details bring precision and structure to the design. From minimal black lines to warm copper accents, we use metal and hardware to elevate the cellar’s architecture and tactile experience.
Options we design
- Matte black metal (modern, bold, timeless)
- Brushed metal textures (architectural, clean)
- Copper accents (warm luxury signature)
- Premium handles & hinges (feel matters as much as look)
- Refined edge details (frames, trims, shadow gaps)
Best for
- Industrial-modern cellars, contemporary interiors, and “gallery-style” wine walls
- Clients who want a strong, masculine, high-contrast aesthetic
