4. Choose your lighting. Wine cellars are designed to be cool, but we also want them to look cool. If you love your cellar, you may want to leave the lights on and admire it, so the style of lighting you choose is paramount. Normal incandescents and halogen bulbs emit a lot of heat — way too much for a cellar. There are many incredible LED lighting options, which emit virtually no heat. Track lights, puck lights and LED strip lights can all light a space in interesting ways and show off your collection.

I like the simple design of these wine racks (as long as they would hold large format bottles as well). I also really like the rope lighting above.

3. Install a wine cooling unit. These are not the same as normal cooling units, because they also control humidity. They can’t add humidity to the room, but they can remove excess moisture. There are many different products and methods you can use to cool the space, but the easiest is a through-wall unit like a Koolspace KoolR, pictured here. It works using a simple premise: creating a cold room on one side of the wall and a warm room on the other. Units like these are installed simply through the framing of the wall. The unit cools and controls humidity in the cellar, while exhausting heat into the exhaust room that I mentioned before. The exhaust room has to be large enough to absorb this heat.
