Uncork the autumnal spirit! Discover the 8 best ways to decorate your home wine cellar door this fall.
The outside of your wine cellar is just as important as the inside when the seasons change. Especially when it comes to home decoration!
Since your wine cellar doors are the first thing people will see, it’s a great idea to decorate them according to the season. This way, it gives off a warm first impression! Also, the decorations aren’t a major commitment than the build of your wine cellar, so you can play as much as you want. So, think of bold colors and quirky autumnal expressions.
A classic wreath is always a great idea. But if you want to shake things up, there are so many interesting (and easy) ways of making your wine cellar fall-appropriate. If you need more ideas, here’s the blog for you!
Beyond the doors, the interior of your wine cellar offers even more opportunities for fall flair. Think about incorporating elements that naturally complement the rich tones of wine. Garlands of faux maple leaves in deep reds, burnt oranges, and golds can be elegantly draped over your wine racks or along the ceiling beams. This simple addition instantly brings a rustic, harvest-time warmth to the space.
For your tasting table, swap out any summer-themed centerpieces for arrangements featuring miniature gourds, small pumpkins, and colorful Indian corn. Scatter some acorns and pinecones around these items for an authentic touch of nature. Another fantastic, low effort decorating idea is to play with lighting. Replace bright, harsh bulbs with warm, amber-toned LED candles placed in rustic lanterns or hurricane lamps. The softer, flickering glow will create a cozy, intimate atmosphere perfect for sampling a hearty Cabernet Sauvignon or an earthy Pinot Noir.
Don’t forget the details! Utilize wine-themed accessories that fit the season. For instance, you could use cork trivets shaped like leaves or have fall-themed wine charms ready for your next tasting. Remember, the goal is to create a seamless transition from the outside world into a warm, inviting autumnal retreat where every bottle feels a little more special. These temporary changes are a fun and inexpensive way to refresh your wine cellar without any permanent alterations.
Flank the wine cellar door with leafy branches that showcase fall’s classic hues. When the trees around your home shed their greenery and explode into yellows and reds, clip a few branches. Make sure these branches have a lot of leaves. Support the branches by placing them into a planter and tightly packing them with gravel. Place one or more on both sides of the door. This decor idea pairs well with wooden custom home wine cellar doors, like the ones which are built by Wine Cellars of Houston.
You don’t need to go overboard with your fall decorations to capture the perfect vibe of the season. Hydrangeas are summer flowers that bloom in the softest pastel colors. However, when dried, they hold on to their shape well, even if they lose the pastel shades. Their fall color palette ensures your glass wine closet or wooden wine cellar isn’t drowning in only reds, oranges, and yellows.
Dried wreaths made from real plants are always better than their fake counterparts. The autumnal colors mixed with fresh greens always make such a statement for decoration. So, consider blending dried wheat stalks, preserved magnolias, and fresh eucalyptus into a wreath. Drape faux ivy and deep red maple leaf garlands across bottle racks. It’s such an elegant look, especially for wrought iron wine cellar doors.
Pumpkins are the great decor choice for fall. However, the idea of decorating your wine cellar door with a real pumpkin sounds precarious. Particularly, when real vegetables attract fruit flies, you don’t want those pests to enter the wine cellar. So, just, reduce your headache and go for faux options. They look equally amazing, and the best part? You can reuse this decor, year after year!
If you have a glass wine cellar door, hanging decor on it might be difficult, considering how heavy wreaths can get. Therefore, the solution is the doormats!
You can either choose a fall-themed doormat that has designs of foliage or pumpkins. Or, you can honor the Halloween weekend with a quirky witchy pattern. Moon-related doormats are also popular. Pair it with fake pumpkins and planters for the ideal seasonal style. You can also add fairy lights for an extra whimsical touch.
This is an easy DIY fall decoration. You can welcome the season and guests to your wine cellar with just a basic handmade chalkboard sign. You can scribble on a cheerful greeting or add which fall wine you’re currently enjoying. Paint the frame in your desired color, and if you have an artistic flair, illustrate with chalk. Are you enjoying a Tempranillo on a chilly October evening? Draw that!
If you’re not into wreaths, this is a unique fall decor idea for your wine cellar door. You can take a wicker basket to hold branches or dried blooms for a bright hanging decoration. Add some natural grasses, Chinese lantern stems, branches with bright leaves, etc. You can keep changing the foliage throughout the cooler months.
Fall is the harvest season, so a bundle of dried corn stalks is easy to come by. It adds a touch of nature, especially if your wine cellar is on the first floor. These stalks are tall, which makes them great to frame the door and set a classic fall scene. Add multicolored mum flowers or faux pumpkins to complete the look. Also, with some spooky embellishments, corn stalks also double as fun for Halloween decor!
Now that you’re armed with inspiration, get ready to welcome fall into your home with these decor ideas!
