Splashbacks of Distinction project - Wine Room, Roydon
Wine rooms have come a long way since the 1970's
Back in the 1970's, the home bar was all the rage. Nestled in a corner of the room would be a flat packed, chipboard monstrosity with the gaudy coloured ice bucket on top. Of course, back then these were considered to be the height of sophisticated living for the householders who threw the best gatherings, but today, we want something that is classy, practical and timeless. So began the wine room!
A wine room can obviously house more than just wine. Spirits and beer can also be included, but it's the look and style that we want to improve our house. A wine room will take a room from somewhere you can simply have a drink, to somewhere that you, your friends and family will want to spend their time. It's like having a modern pub in your own home.
A classy wine room in Roydon
Splashbacks of Distinction installed a wine room in a client's property in Roydon. Take a look at the pictures of this wine room installation to appreciate the style and beauty of this room. It has class, gives the room atmosphere and even transforms the many different bottles into things of beauty.
Many people boast a well stocked drinks cabinet, some display all their bottles on sideboards or worktops, but this can quickly become a cluttered mess. A dedicated wine room can easily be incorporated into a side or end of an existing room, will never look cluttered and will give your property a genuine wow factor!
Working alongside Brandt Kitchens Splashbacks of Distinction installed the glass for a beautiful wine room in Roydon. We fitted very large 10mm Glass Panels on the outside then painted black borders around the glass to hide any hardware and this also gave a very nice and clean edge to the glass. The glass works were then finished with matching black hinges and a black handle. The finished result is a world away from the tacky little bar that we used to consider so cool a few decades ago.
Why your home in Roydon needs a wine room
You may be a serious wine collector; you may simply appreciate the finer things in life. Whatever the reason, a wine room will improve your living space and give you a delightful addition to your property. We know our Roydon clients are delighted with their new wine room.
If you have an entire room to convert, fantastic! However, as mentioned above, a wine room can be incorporated into a section of an existing room and can look just as good. For those serious wine or spirit collectors who have invested a substantial amount of money in their collection, owning a wine room is a great idea.
Wine rooms protect your investment
Row upon row of bottles stored on a shelf or worktop can easily be knocked over and damaged. Although it may sound a little snobby to the uninitiated, some people want to appreciate the look of their collection. Some bottles have beautiful labels, some are in interesting bottles, and having a dedicated space to house them in the form of a wine room will help you to appreciate your investment far better than any other form of display.
Those prized single malts that you only break out for extra special occasions will look great lining the shelves of our wine rooms, while your wine collection will be housed horizontally in the purpose built sections of the wall racks.
Wine rooms can increase the value of a home
In addition to wine rooms being good looking and functional, a skilfully designed and installed wine room will add value to any home. Wine rooms are becoming increasingly sought after in homes, and having a custom built wine room will definitely help your home stand out from others should you be looking at the future resale value of your home.
Although your reason for having a bespoke wine room built may be for your own enjoyment now, you should realise that it will add value to your property.
Wine rooms may even save you money
Starting a wine or spirit collection can become quite addictive, and having a dedicated wine room in your house can save you money by giving you the opportunity to buy a good wine in bulk, thus saving money. It can also save you money by allowing you to have a more varied wine collection, allowing you to access the right wine for any meal or occasion. This is superb for when you host dinner parties, as having such a diverse collection of wines and spirits will enable you to store and serve the appropriate beverage for any occasion.
Although not always the case, a fine wine can actually increase in value over time when stored correctly. Finding a young wine with great promise and purchasing it to store over time will save money spent on that more mature bottle of wine many years down the road.
Remember, you don't need to live in or around Roydon to enjoy the benefits of a bespoke wine room. Splashbacks of Distinction cover a very wide area and we would be happy to discuss your requirements.
So, leave the flat packed bars of yesteryear where they belong and look to the future with a beautiful and stylish wine room from Splashbacks of Distinction.

Kitchen Splashback in Hitchin by Artist Johanna Wood
We templated, supplied and installed the glass, and then the artist Johanna Wood painted the splashbacks. The result looks amazing with intricate details which create a bespoke design.
Kitchen Splashback with Mirror Line, Newmarket
This splashback was painted in Ellis Ikon Azure. We also added a mirrored line through the splashbacks which is quite popular. The customer can choose the position and quantity of the lines and also the thickness so can avoid sockets etc.
LED Backlit Splashback, Royston
With a artistic design printed on the back of the glass very lightly, we are able to achieve the design without a light backing but also achieve illumination in various lights through the LED strips installed in a track behind the glass. With a colour wheel on the remote control for the LED Lights, the customer now has an unlimited choice of colours and brightness for his splashback.
Frameless Balustrades and Juliet Balcony, Berkhamsted
We measured and installed these 17.5mm Laminated Float Glass Juliet Balcony and Balustrades early 2019. Sitting on chrome stand offs, the clean and modern look makes a massive difference to the rear of the property. Toughened and Laminated, these glass panels will be sure to stand the test of time.
With the balcony weighing in at 157kg and measuring over 3.5m wide, it was no easy task but the excellent fitting team here made it all possible.
