Default Insulate cold room?

Hi All. I just moved in to a new house that has a fairly large cold room
in the basement. I really don't need to have a room for cold storage so
I am considering insulating the room and adding shelving to use it for
normal heated storage space. I was thinking of getting the foam board
insulation to glue to the concrete walls. Shelving I have is stand-alone
units that don't need to attach to the walls.

The home is in Kitchener, Ontario, so the winters can get quite cold and
currently there is some evidence of condensation on the inside of the door
which is why I am thinking of this. Perhaps all I need to do is add an
insulated door instead of bothering with the walls.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

Larry
