Is your wine fridge empty or full?

7 years ago

Looking at the results from our latest kitchen survey, we're seeing many users on Houzz investing in wine fridges. And we can also see this from images uploaded to the platform.

We were curious to see whether wine fridges are always stocked, or if they are more often than not, empty.

If you have a wine fridge, let us know how much you use it, and why it's a good feature to invest in.

We have a two temperature zone under counter wine cabinet/fridge at home and a two zone tall standalone unit, which are both usually 3/4 full. We use the under counter wine fridge to keep beer, sparkling water, white wine and the odd bottle of champagne chilled and the tall wine cabinet for the longer term storage of wines and champagne. Its not just because we are wine storage experts, or because we drink a lot of wine! We find them a useful addition to our family kitchen to chill and store drinks, without taking up valuable space in our kitchen fridge. We've had these in place for around 4 years and wouldn't do without them, although we will consider upgrading to a newer model soon, with a seamless door front.

We went against a wine fridge and for a mini integrated fridge in our kitchen and are so pleased with it. It is so much more flexible as fits all types & size of drinks bottles & cans. It doubles up as an overflow fridge if our main fridge is full in preparation for a dinner party. It also cost a third of the price! One year down the line: no regrets.

Lights which automatically turn on when I enter a room (especially in the kitchen and in the hallway from the bedroom to the bathroom) and lights inside my wardrobes (especially inside the one in the bedroom: I often get up earlier than my hubby, and it may be still dark outside, and I don't want to wake him up while I'm looking for my stockings).

As always some fab points. I have considered price but the cost of paper was far less than having every wall skimmed but to be honest paper was more feasible for the time frame as there is no chain we can complete quickly. The 3 living rooms come off the hall and the bottom one is straight ahead of the front door which will be the dining room so I was thinking wallnut floor in hall and dining room but I'd like to have carpet in the other 2 reception rooms which will be library and sitting room as I have wood floors now in my sitting room and as much as I love the way it looks I feel like I'm forever cleaning it. It seams silly to place pet the hall though especially with children's muddy feet. There is no cornices in any of the upstairs rooms so I think brick effect paper will work well in the master. I'm stil not sure wetha to do all walls or just feature wall. We have wallnut furniture which I love so I think it will be a fab room. My daughters room I'm most excited bout it's just trying to decide how much of which colour more Grey or more pink or equal both I'm leaning more towards more grey because it will be easy to change the pink as she ages. My step son is difficult as he had probably had a different room every year in our house as he's aged he's gone from toy story to batman to Barcelona fc. So now I'm saying no to themed rooms. I was thinking maybe a mural on the wall behind the bed maybe black and white New York sky line or something and keep everything else very simple black and white??? The floor boards aren't in great condition and I know I probably stand alone when I say this but I don't actually like the look of original floor boards unless they are perfect. I agree with the decor flowing through the house and aside from the kids rooms it will all be pretty neutral. The dining room leads out into a beautiful garden so I was toying with trying to bring the outside in with some nature tones I'm just not sure how to go about it? Any suggestions for a dining table colour as it will sit on wallnut floor or am I just being picky and it doesn't really matter, just in my head an oak table on wallnut floor doesn't look great. Wish I'd taken pictures so I could show before and after I'll have to remember to when we move

Thanks all. Sorry it wasn't very clear before. I started mid through my renovation sentence as opposed to the full sentence! Whoops! Thanks for your input thus far. I've attached more photos which should hopefully give a proper visual. As Karen at One Plan (who are FYI amazing and downright beyond talented) rightly said it is a walk way so nothing protruding out is a viable option for the space. We're not sure what to do with the wall, hang photos, one off statement, hidden door, visual door, standard doors for the wine nook and something else wow on the wall? It's a big space and central to the rooms movement do something cool and stylish and modern but workable. We just want what looks Amazing! Has a cool wow factor but practical. My other half was thinking a sliding door too Karen but I thought it may restrict walking space when it was open? Please give us your best design suggestion. We don't have any creative bones in us.

Wide integrated fridge freezer?
Q

We had an integrated one like you describe in previous house - SubZero - it was great! But now we have a full larder fridge and honestly I don't miss the wide fridge. I probably miss the freezer drawers more, but they didn't actually hold that much - not compared to a full larder freezer anyway. The best thing was probably never having to bend down to access fridge drawers as the fridge was all at the top - but you could have two integrated fridge-freezers side by side to get that functionality - a friend has that and although you have to know which fridge something is in, it works well for them - and they have both opening in the middle so it looks like it'll be a double-wide unit but it's actually two 600mm units side by side.

I did look into the idea of building one of those spiral type wine cellars into our new build, but then I realised, we don't drink wine!

Our wine fridges have been made into a feature at the end of our island unit. They look great but don't stay full for long!
