Millennials love wine. So much, in fact, that we're drinking almost half of all the wine sold in the US. When we Gen Y-ers aren't popping a bottle, we're stashing it somewhere in our homes — but what if instead of just storing wine, we could display it? To find out how, we turned to Nicole Sassman, a top interior designer, house flipper, TV host, and author.

Whether you're a member of Napa wine clubs or a connoisseur of two-buck-chuck, Nicole has six dazzling ideas for displaying your vino. "Depending on your style, needs, and space options, there are some great ideas to consider from custom to simple handyman fixes to easy and affordable DIY." Keep reading to check them out and read what Nicole has to say.

Small-Space Solution

For a tiny kitchen, Nicole recommends this column wine rack ($103), which is also available in a even narrower single-column version. "It's a great individual option to stick on the side of your refrigerator," she says.

"The website IWA is great for everyone who is looking for wine storage. They have many creative and inexpensive ways to create beautiful wine storage in your home or rental," Nicole says. "You can have cabinets custom made or buy modular pieces that are available at the above website and place them together like these pine wine cubes ($60)."

Elegant and Customizable

"Old wooden wine crates are always a great look and amazing wine storage," says Nicole, who loves how easy these modular racking roll out bins ($100) are to customize to individual styles and spaces. "You can stack them how ever you desire and even play with mixed woods, sizes, and colors."

Wall-Mountable

Instead of taking up floor space — valuable real estate in a small apartment — take advantage of under-utilized wall space with something like this 5-Bottle Wall Wine Rack ($35).

"For a more modern and cleaner look, you can buy something like this galvanized steel cube wine bar ($892) from The Container Store.
