What is the first thing that symbolizes wines? It is the vineyard, with the neatly arranged rows of grapes trees. The grapes from the best vineyards give wines their heavenly taste. This is why when you are thinking about painting your wine cellar; you should always take inspiration from the vineyards. You can transform your wine cellar into a sort of wine country by using deep earth tones for the walls. You can use elements that are usually seen around in a vineyard such as wines, grapes, sunshine and wine barrels. The shades of green, burgundy, gold and brown will give your wine cellar the vineyard-like feel. The best thing about these shades is that they aptly compliment the color of racks, no matter whether they are dark or light. Having said all these, let us now take a look at the impact each of these shades has on the walls of your wine cellar.
Burgundy Symbolizing Red Wine
When you apply the dark and deep burgundy shade you will definitely create a bold but rich environment for the cellar. The color compliments nicely with the red wines stored in your racks. They represent the mixture of red and purple grapes used in blending the wines. Choose the shades from a supplier who knows a bit about wine cellar decorations. In terms of the racks, they should balance the décor. You can choose dark wooden racks, as brown sits ideally with burgundy. If you have opted for a burgundy shade with redder undertones then opting for a lighter shade of rack would be ideal.
Green Symbolizing the White Wine
The shade green brings up a sense of nature; it also reminds the onlookers of the green grapes used in the winery. Though the grapes used in white wine have brighter tones, you should opt for a more muted shade. The forest green would be an ideal match for your cellar walls. If you are not convinced about the forest green, then the sage green (which is a little lighter) can be chosen too. As green compliments well with red, so the red wines in your rack will create the desired visual appeal for the room.
Brown Symbolizing Wine Barrels
The brown shade brings along with it a certain sense of coziness. It also fills the room with a luxurious environment. Brown is not only the color of barrels; it is also the color of soil upon which the grapes grow. When you paint the walls rich brown, the room will feel just like a vineyard. You should choose a darker tone of brown such as molasses or chocolate, the tone should have a certain amount of red undertone to bring out the earthy feeling and match traditional looking cooling units. If you want to provide a rustic feeling to the wine cellar, then lighter shades of brown such as the Oak would be ideal.
Golden Symbolizing the Sun
Remember those vineyards of Tuscany; they are bathed with warm sunshine. You can capture the warmth and sunshine within your wine cellar with the golden wall paints. Choose a lighter shade of gold color, to imbibe a sense of sunshine flowing into the room. If you want to stock Chardonnay, opt for the darker variations with butter and honey undertones to it. A lighter gold shade with the light yellow and white undertones can be ideal too. You can balance the décor with some honey colored wooden racks. Both these will create a great visual appeal.Choosing the perfect shade for your wine cellar is not that difficult after all. You have to first of all, understand your preferences and then pick up a theme, mentioned above.
