Why a Wine Cabinet Deserves a Spot in Your Kitchen Design
At The Designory, we’re big believers that thoughtful details are what elevate a home from simply nice to truly considered—and one feature we find ourselves recommending more and more is the humble wine cabinet.
Our Bronte House project called for an entertainers kitchen… and you need a wine fridge to truely entertain…

A wine cabinet is more than just a home for your vino. It’s a beautiful balance of function and form, a subtle touch of luxury that adds both utility and style to your kitchen. Whether you’re a serious collector or just love to have a few bottles chilled and ready, integrating wine storage into your kitchen layout is a simple way to bring a sense of lifestyle and intention to the space.
Think of it as the modern-day bar cart—but cooler (literally) and far more elegant.
Why We Love La Cavist
When it comes to wine fridges, we’re always on the lookout for designs that feel considered, perform well, and—crucially—don’t blow the budget. The La Cavist range ticks every box. Their units are sleek, quiet, and designed to seamlessly integrate into modern kitchen joinery, giving that high-end feel without the high-end price tag.
We’ve used them in multiple projects because they’re stylish without being showy, and they do the job exceptionally well—keeping wines at the right temperature, humidity, and vibration level, which any enthusiast will tell you is key to proper storage.
Style That Sells
And here's the bonus: it’s not just about your own enjoyment. Including features like a built-in wine cabinet can actually support the resale value of your home. It signals lifestyle, quality, and attention to detail—three things that today’s buyers are increasingly looking for. It's a small investment that speaks volumes in both day-to-day enjoyment and long-term return.
Final Sip
So whether you're a full-bodied shiraz kind of person or just love a crisp glass of something after a long day, consider giving your next kitchen project a little extra love in the form of a wine cabinet. It's a design decision that’s as smart as it is stylish.
Cheers to that.
