Spectacular Design and Racking Features of a Texas Wine Cellar Built Under the Stairs
The odd shape and limited space of a room are the common challenges in wine cellar construction. Wine Cellar Specialists recently built a gorgeous wine storage system using a dead space under a staircase. This custom wine cellar in Frisco, Texas, was designed and installed with wine racks manufactured by IronWine Cellars LLC. Made from Knotty Alder, the racking system creates a stunning display of the client’s collection.
The 3-Dimensional Design for a Tiny and Curved Space Under the Stairs
Curved Staircase Custom Wine Cellar Design Frisco Texas Project
A client in Frisco, Texas, needed a professional designer and installer to develop and execute plans for their new home wine cellar. They contacted Wine Cellar Specialists, one of our trusted partners in wine cellar construction.
The room to be used for conversion is located under their floating staircase. The space was limited and curved, so creating a design for the racking system was a challenge.

Texas Wine Cellar Racks with Chestnut Stain and Laquer
In this Frisco, Texas, Wine Cellar conversion project, they proved that the challenges of an odd-shaped room with limited space could not stop them from building an awe-inspiring wine storage facility under the staircase.
Upon entering the wine room, you will see two rows of 6-inch deep horizontal racking, which allows the client to store 750ml bottles in a label forward orientation.
The first row is shorter than the second one to allow the space needed for the wine cooling unit’s box, which is located above the entryway.
Succeeding the horizontal racks is a mini quarter round. This storage unit allows for a smooth transition from one wall to the other.
Additionally, it provides an area for displaying some of the vintages in the client’s collection, and/or other wine accessories.
Wine Cellar Specialists installed true radius curve wine racks next to the mini quarter round storage rack. This racking has a depth of 13.5 inches and a display row running through the middle section of the true radius racking.
This feature stores the bottles at a 15-degree angle, which helps prevent wine oxidation by keeping the cork moist.
Knotty Alder Wine Racks and Cooling Unit Above the Texas Wine Cellar Door
The entire top of the racking is cascading down according to the ceiling’s height. The racking ends with two rows of rolling case storage at the bottom, and two rows of horizontal display racking. Roll out shelves were used for easy access to bottles in the double deep case.
IronWine Cellars LLC constructed the wine racks from Knotty Alder. This type of wood was a great choice of material to achieve a rustic feel in the Texas wine cellar under the staircase. Knotty Alder’s durability and resistance to decay make it a favorite material in building wine rooms.
The entire racking was finished with lacquer and Chestnut stain.

Sealing a wine room must be done by a professional. An airtight seal is essential in maintaining the optimum conditions in a climate-controlled wine cellar.
Wine Cellar Specialists used closed spray foam insulation on interior walls and ceiling to prevent the warm air from leaking into the cellar. This type of insulation also prevents dust and other contaminants from entering the wine room. When it comes to efficiency, closed-cell foam insulation for wine cellars is recommended.
The ceiling was applied with Stonecoat, a product from France, created from crushed limestone. After blowing it on the surface, it is hand carved. This particularly lovely and subtle shade of Stonecoat was chosen by the owner with guidance from the design team.
The Elegant Entrance to the Texas Residential Wine Cellar
The door installed in this beautiful Texas wine cellar under a floating staircase is very elegant. It is made of hand-forged wrought iron.
Wine Cellar Specialists incorporated an ornate design to add flair to the entryway and to match the railings of the staircase.
To ensure that there is no air leakage to or from the room, they equipped the wine cellar door with mechanical features like weather stripping and rubber sweep.
For the insulation, they used high quality polyurethane foam applied to the body and framing of the door.
