This Month In Your Cellar: Wine Cellar Paint Ideas To Spruce Up Your Space

Painting your wine cellar is deceptively easy, and can quickly turn into a nightmare. I once knew a wine fanatic who wanted to transform the extra basement space in her house into a wine bar. She started off strong, replacing the carpet with tile, buying a humidifier, and installing wine racks on the walls. At first, she had no desire to paint the walls, believing that the original white paint would give the space a clean look. A couple of weeks after she installed the racks, she decided she hated the white paint and went ahead with coating the walls in a light lavender color instead. She tried her best to carefully paint around the racks, but nearly all of them ended up with a sprinkling of purple by the time she was done. My friend was forced to take the racks down, sand them, re-stain them, and reinstall them to get rid of the paint. The best wine cellar paint ideas add beauty and safety to your cellar, but if you don’t have the right plan going into it, you’ll waste hours remodeling your cellar.
