Elevate Everyday Spaces

VINTAGE HALLWAY

When a builder decided to construct his own home to reflect his and his wife’s new empty-nest life, they opted to house their wine collection in the entry hall. “They love to entertain, and they love wine,” says Marie-Joe Bouffard of JFY Designs in Nashville, “so even though it was a little unusual to locate this wine moment in the foyer, we dressed it to give it a little speakeasy vibe.” Her team chose deep black for the walls on either side of the dual Sub-Zero 30” Designer Wine Storage Units to complement the metal accents. “We wanted them to look fully integrated into the wall to make that end of the space very moody,” says Bouffard. “And of course, the Sub-Zero units are so classic and gorgeous. They are a beautiful investment, like a Chanel jacket.”

LEISURE TIME

Featuring a chic beverage area and homey café-style seating, this lower-level renovation from Minnesota-based Bria Hammel Interiors was designed for everything from hosting guests to family gatherings and effortless relaxation. A Sub-Zero 24” Undercounter Wine Storage Unit fits perfectly in the sleek, dark-toned bar. 

“The family had some great nostalgic pieces and photos that they were excited to incorporate into the lounge space,” says Elissa Juhnke, the lead designer on the project. “We added a few pieces to complement the ones they had provided to bring the homeowners’ dream of a fun and functional hangout space to life.”
