Apartment dwelling is great for young mobile people, but decorating can be tough. If you live in an apartment and are a wine enthusiast, you know that wine storage can also be difficult. Here are some tips to help your decorate your apartment while integrating your wine storage into the design.
Granted, if you live in an apartment, you probably won't be in the habit of storing a bottle of wine for 20-60 y
ears. Still you may want to keep extra bottles on hand and may store wine for several months to a couple of years. You put this wine in a crowded pantry where it will likely be too warm, or you can put it in the refrigerator where it will be too cold. Your best bet however will be to keep it in the open where it can at least be kept at room temperature although it will very likely be above the ideal 55°F though it will at least be kept at a constant temperature.
What I like to do is create a wine theme in the eating area of the apartment. Purchase a large piece of
wall decor that features a scene of a winery. This can be a tapestry or a painted piece. Staple a vine garland around the top of the room where you would normally put a wallpaper border. Place an Italian Bakers rack in the room, preferably one with a place for wine storage. If space in the apartment is especially tight, you should add a wall mounted wine storage art piece like this
Roma Wall Iron Wine Rack. This is a beautiful and intricate iron art piece that holds wine bottle in the upside down position. It looks great whether it hold its maximum of five bottles, or none at all. It measures 44" high X 19" wide and will make a great focal piece in any room.
