Wine room
Here is an arched door opening with glass on only the top half. It is too dark and thick for our installation, but a similar idea. If the glass opening was larger you can see into it and see the lovely design, but if you got a wine shipment and kicked it into the room for the time being it wouldn’t clutter up the view into the room because the view to the floor is blocked by the half-wood door.
The room is about 9’x3-1/2’ so we could do perpendicular storage on the left side and horizontal storage on the right side (like in the photo). If possible (code, etc.) the door would open outward instead of inward. Focal point in the room more challenging since there is the sloped ceiling from the stairs, but could do a counter and some art work with stone arch and lighting? Rustic/faux ceiling and floor.
