About This Design

Transitional Traditional

White wainscoting and an arched glass door nod to traditional architecture, while the walnut-lined interior and sculptural art element give the cellar a contemporary collectible quality.

Design Tip

Placing a sculptural object inside a glass-doored cellar gives the niche a gallery quality even when the wine collection is small or just getting started.

Spatial Approach

The cellar occupies the triangular dead space under the stair run, framed by white wainscoting on either side. The arched glass door follows the sloped ceiling line, maximizing the visual height of the niche. The brass sconce mounts at eye level on the adjacent wall, drawing attention to the cellar without requiring overhead fixtures.

Best For

Perfect for entry halls and foyers where under-stair space is typically wasted on closets or mechanical storage. The glass door keeps the cellar visible as a design feature in the home's main circulation path, doubling as a conversation piece for guests entering the home.
