I dream of having a custom wine cellar in my home, but I'm not sure where to begin with the design and construction. What considerations should I keep in mind for creating the perfect wine storage solution?

• Cool, dark spot (basement ideal)
• DIY or $$$ contractor (insta-worthy tho!)
• Sturdy shelves (wine = heavy!)
• Humidifier for moist corks
• LEDs only

Designing a custom wine cellar involves choosing a cool, dark space with proper ventilation and humidity control. For building, consider using sturdy racks or custom-built shelving to accommodate different bottle sizes, and incorporate ambient lighting and stylish finishes to enhance the aesthetic.
