Hacky and Micky basement rooms are usually cool and stable, and therefore this is the place that a person can make a fancy but functional wine cellar. Turning a basement into a wine storage space is practical and has an aesthetic appeal, making an empty space into a very sophisticated element.
Bottles are arranged and stored in custom wine racks, modular shelves and climate controlled cabinets. Inbuilt tasting tables or mini counters may be of use as well as socialising the experience. The atmosphere is raised with lighting and finishes like wood or stone, and a combination of storage and design.
In cases of asymmetrical layout of Hacky homes, custom-made racks are tailored to fit in strange corners, to form aesthetically impressive storage areas. In smaller Micky houses, small vertical racks or wall-mounted options are the best to maximise the storage without taking the floor space, so even the small basements will feel luxurious.
Conclusion / Area of Thought: The functionality of the basement as a place to store wine and its beauty demonstrates how elegance and functionalism can live together in unused areas. The insight: in case storage may become a fashion and cultural declaration in our basement space, how might we rethink some of the other practical room environments in our house to make them more useful and more lifestyle?
