Are your kids' bedrooms lacking the fun factor? Many of us feel like it's impossible to design interesting, unique bedrooms for our kids without spending a fortune, but that's not true. By getting crafty to re-purpose old pieces of furniture, using inexpensive toys as novel decorations, and keeping a lookout for bargains, you can create a room your child will treasure for years to come. I hope this site gives you loads of great ideas for your next bedroom project — whether it's for a bouncing new baby, a boisterous toddler or a teen that's grown out of their current décor.
There's a lot to think about when planning a new kitchen installation, and it's the perfect time to pick some smart storage solutions that will make life easier. If you're a lover of wine but currently have nowhere to store it, then choosing one of the wine storage solutions listed below is a great idea.
Whether you need lots of storage for a large collection, just want to keep the occasional bottle chilled, or are somewhere in the middle, one of these options will be perfect. Wine storage can be installed at the same time as the rest of your new kitchen and made to match perfectly.
Fridge wine shelf
The simplest of the three options, a fridge wine shelf is the best way to keep one or two bottles of wine chilled at all times. This option is ideal if you like to enjoy a glass with your evening meal, but aren't planning to build up a large collection. If you already have other wine storage elsewhere in the house, this can also be a great way to store only the bottles you plan to use soon, for easy access. You could store one bottle for cooking, and another for drinking. A fridge with a built-in wine shelf is the best option, but you can also buy appliances which will slot onto your existing shelves to convert them for wine storage.
Built-in wine cooler
Built-in wine coolers are a really neat, convenient way to store several bottles of wine for easy access. They'll slot alongside your other cabinets and can be made from the same materials to match perfectly. A glass-fronted door allows you to view you wine collection easily, and the chilling function will keep your wine perfectly cool and ready to drink. This is a great option if you like entertaining and want to keep six to twelve bottles chilled at once. You won't have to give up any space in your fridge, and you'll be able to adjust the temperature to your liking without worrying about affecting other food.
Wine cabinet
A large, freestanding wine cabinet can be a great statement piece and is ideal if you're a real connoisseur. Most large cabinets will have space for several hundred bottles, so they're the perfect way to store a large collection. Choose a cabinet with individual temperature zones to store wines according to your needs. One section could be dedicated to wines you'd like to age, while another could keep bottles at serving temperature.
