Bespoke Understairs Wine Storage with Built-In Bar - Dorset

Our customer approached us after receiving a quotation from a local joiner. While the original proposal was significantly more expensive than expected, they also felt the design lacked creativity and didn't make the most of the available space. They wanted a bespoke solution that would become a real feature of their home.

Following an initial consultation, we worked closely with the customer to create a custom understairs wine storage design that combined practicality with a striking visual display. Their brief included generous wine storage, a dedicated wine fridge, a home bar area, shelving for accessories, and elegant glass storage – all seamlessly integrated beneath the staircase.

Once the design was approved, our team handcrafted each component in our workshop. The lower section featured our signature Cross Cube wine racks alongside three pull-out wine case drawer units, providing easy access and organised storage for larger collections. A built-in wine fridge was positioned alongside the cabinetry, while a solid worktop created the perfect serving area. Above this, we incorporated shelving, wine glass storage, and our Bodega wine racks to create an eye-catching display that balanced function with style. The entire installation was finished in a beautiful light oak stain, enhancing the natural character of the timber.

With every element completed in our workshop, our installation team carefully fitted the cabinetry beneath the staircase. Each unit was precisely scribed to the walls, floor and staircase, with custom plinths and trims ensuring a flawless, built-in finish that looked as though it had always been part of the home.

The finished project completely transformed an unused area into a stunning feature that is both practical and elegant. The customer was delighted with the result, commenting that it looked as if it had "been there forever."
