Imagine stepping into a newly renovated bar room that exudes an inviting ambiance from the moment you walk in. The space boasts a transitional yet cozy atmosphere, blending modern design elements with touches of classic comfort. As you enter, the first thing that catches your eye is the striking bar counter, crafted from polished reclaimed wood, reflecting warm, amber hues. It's illuminated by ambient lighting that sets a relaxed mood throughout the room. The bar is lined with floating shelves inviting patrons to take a seat and unwind. The flooring, a mix of polished hardwood and tasteful tiling, enhances the room's character while also ensuring easy maintenance. In one corner, a cozy fireplace with a sleek, modern design serves as a focal point, surrounded by plush armchairs and sofas arranged to encourage relaxation and conversation. The crackling of the fire adds to the cozy ambiance, especially during cooler evenings. Behind the bar, shelves are lined with an impressive array of spirits and wines, each bottle meticulously displayed. The bartender crafts cocktails while engaging guests with their expertise and enthusiasm. The overall design is sophisticated yet approachable, inviting guests to linger and enjoy the carefully curated selection of drinks and delectable bar snacks. The renovated bar room offers a refined yet relaxed setting, a perfect haven for patrons seeking a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Mindful Design in Glencoe

Jamie Schachtel Design Group

Our firm collaborated on this project as a spec home with a well-known Chicago builder. At that point the goal was to allow space for the home-buyer to envision their lifestyle. A clean slate for further interior work. After the client purchased this home with his two young girls, we curated a space for the family to live, work and play under one roof. This home features built-in storage, book shelving, home office, lower level gym and even a homework room. Everything has a place in this home, and the rooms are designed for gathering as well as privacy. A true 2020 lifestyle!

Home Bar Design Ideas with Ceramic Splashback and Grey Floor

A home bar can provide a spot of indulgence for one, or be a central hub you gather round when entertaining. Whether you’re thinking of planning a wine bar, outdoor bar, or just making room for a bar cart, browse these images for inspiration, and ask yourself the following questions.

Where should you position your home bar?

The most popular location for a home bar is in or near the kitchen or dining room. If you prefer entertaining outdoors, however, an outdoor bar can be a dream addition to any Aussie backyard – and imagine the luxury of swimming up to your very own pool bar! If you're building from scratch, a landscape architect can help you work out the ideal design for your space.

What type of home bar is best suited to your needs?

Home bars come in all shapes and sizes, and with an array of practicalities. Utilise an awkward corner with a cabinet bar; maximise floor space with a trunk bar, which unfolds to create a bar counter; or conveniently turn any space in your house into a bar room with a mobile bar such as a fun bar cart. If you prefer a more grandiose option, or all the amenities of a real bar, you can’t go past a built-in home bar.

What home bar functionalities do you want to include?

Decide how you will use the bar and whether you will need sinks, storage and refrigeration. Including a sink in your home bar design is a practical addition if you choose a location far from your kitchen. If you’re a wine connoisseur, you may want to include additional wine storage, whereas a mini bar fridge within the kitchen may need no extra storage at all. Home bars that will be used infrequently – perhaps an outdoor bar in the cooler months – may not need refrigeration and could suffice with large ice buckets.

What bar furniture will you need?

Seating is essential to any home bar and will impact the style of your home bar design. Bar stools, for example, come in an array of materials and styles, from traditional wooden bar stools, to resort- and industrial-style stools. Storage is another important element, so look for a liquor cabinet and wine racks. Next, if you are creating a freestanding station, you will need a bar table, which are taller and shallower than regular dining tables. Check that your stools and table height work together before you finalise any home bar designs.

How can you personalise your bar design?

Bar tools and accessories are an easy and interchangeable way to personalise your bar design. You may want to create a wine bar, tavern-style bar or retro bar, so look for wine glasses and tumblers, for instance, that will help carry this style. Coasters, bar mats or signage will help you to further achieve your desired look.
