At Baroque Design Custom Wine Cellars, we’ve spent over two decades designing and building custom wine rooms across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Our work is grounded in clear design, functional thinking, and a commitment to craftsmanship. We help our clients create wine spaces that protect their collections and reflect their personal style.

Whether you’re building a compact under-stairs display or a full wine tasting room, we bring experience, structure, and honest design thinking to every step.

Our Philosophy

Since 1999, we’ve worked with one purpose in mind: building custom wine rooms that are both visually impressive and technically sound. We believe wine deserves more than a rack in a kitchen or shelf in a basement. It deserves a space that respects its value and story.

What We Stand For:

• Craftsmanship that lasts
• Clear, collaborative design
• Function-focused storage systems
• Styles that fit your home

We don’t use pre-made templates. Every project begins with a conversation and ends with a result that reflects our client’s goals and collection.

How We Design Your Wine Cellar

Our process is simple. We focus on your needs, your space, and your budget—then we design accordingly. Every step is handled in-house by our consultants, designers, and builders. Design and construction move together in a coordinated process.

Step 1: Free Consultation

We start with a free, no-obligation consultation. During this call or visit, we ask questions that help us understand:

• The size of your collection
• Where you want the cellar or wine room
• What style you have in mind
• Whether you’d like to include a tasting area
• What your budget looks like

We invite you to get involved as much, or as little, as you like. Some clients want to be part of every detail. Others prefer to let us handle it all.

Step 2: Space and Storage Planning

We build wine cellars into a wide range of home spaces, including:

• Basements
• Staircase nooks
• Dining rooms
• Kitchens
• Living rooms
• Converted closets

No space is too large or too small. We adjust our design to fit your floor plan, maximizing every square inch.

Step 3: Technical Layout and Features

Every design we build includes:

• Wine rackingdesigned to protect and display bottles
• Durable finishessuited for long-term use
• Lighting layoutsthat match the room’s mood and purpose

If you’re looking for residential wine cellar installation or even a showpiece wall in your condo, we handle every technical detail to deliver a finished space that works.

Step 4: Review and Final Design

We show you full renderings of the proposed space, including layout, lighting, racking, finishes, and materials. You can request adjustments, review options, or sign off on the concept. We take care of the rest.

Design Styles That Fit Every Home

We build in every style—from rustic to modern. What matters is that the room flows with your home’s look and layout. Our team helps match the design to your space, furniture, and flooring so nothing feels out of place.

Common Style Options:

• Rustic wood beams and wrought iron accents
• Modern steel and glass combinations
• Classic dark-stained hardwood cabinetry
• Minimalist shelves with hidden lighting

Finish Choices:

• Hardwood racks in mahogany, redwood, oak, and more
• Powder-coated metal systems
• Custom-stained wood cabinetry
• Tempered glass panels and doors
• Backlit display panels
• Stone, ceramic, or wood flooring
• Soft LED lighting and accent fixtures

Customizations Available

Every cellar we build is custom. We don’t start with templates or force-fit designs. Instead, we offer a wide range of customization features that give your space a purpose and style.

Popular Custom Features Include:

• Built-in wine tasting rooms
• Custom wine racking made to measure
• Display areas for rare or vintage bottles
• Island displays or counters for tastings
• Glass enclosures
• Compact solutions for small rooms or hallways
• Seamless integration with living or dining areas

Design Tips and Advice

After working on hundreds of custom cellars, we’ve picked up strategies that help protect collections, increase visual appeal, and avoid common mistakes. Here are a few tips we share with every client:

• Use climate control to protect long-term value.
• Store bottles label-forward so you can see and manage your collection easily.
• Choose soft lighting to protect wine from light damage.
• Always allow for future expansion. Collections grow.
• If you enjoy hosting, ask us about including a wine tasting room in your build.
