Extreme Renovation

Young & Borlik Architects, inc.

A home office was converted into a full service sports bar. This room has space to seat 20. It has three televisions, a refrigerated wine room, a fireplace and even a secret door. The countertop is zinc, the ceiling tiles are authentic stamped tin. Behind the counter are taps for two kegs, soda machine, custom ice makers, glass chillers and a full professional service bar. There's a cocktail station with integrated drains, refrigeration drawers, and a dedicated dishwasher. Why leave the house?

Town + Country Addition and Renovation

Infinite Home

Our clients had this beautiful idea of creating a space that's as welcoming as it is timeless, where every family gathering feels special, and every room invites you in. Picture a kitchen that's not just for cooking but for connecting, where family baking contests and meals turn into cherished memories. This heart of the home seamlessly flows into the dining and living areas, creating an open, inviting space for everyone to enjoy together. We didn't overlook the essentials – the office and laundry room are designed to keep life running smoothly while keeping you part of the family's daily hustle and bustle. The kids' rooms? We planned them with an eye on the future, choosing designs that will age gracefully as they do. The basement has been reimagined as a versatile sanctuary, perfect for both relaxation and entertainment, balancing rustic charm with a touch of elegance. The master suite is your personal retreat, leading to a peaceful outdoor area ideal for quiet moments. Its bathroom transforms your daily routine into a spa-like experience, blending luxury with tranquility. In essence, we've woven together each space to not just tell our clients' stories but enrich their daily lives with beauty, functionality, and a little outdoor magic. It's all about creating a home that grows and evolves with them. How's that for a place to call home?

Basement Transformation

La Bella Casa Interior Designs

This 1600+ square foot basement was a diamond in the rough. We were tasked with keeping farmhouse elements in the design plan while implementing industrial elements. The client requested the space include a gym, ample seating and viewing area for movies, a full bar , banquette seating as well as area for their gaming tables - shuffleboard, pool table and ping pong. By shifting two support columns we were able to bury one in the powder room wall and implement two in the custom design of the bar. Custom finishes are provided throughout the space to complete this entertainers dream.

Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW Collaborations with builders on new construction is a favorite part of my job. I love seeing a house go up from the blueprints to the end of the build. It is always a journey filled with a thousand decisions, some creative on-the-spot thinking and yes, usually a few stressful moments. This Naperville project was a collaboration with a local builder and architect. The Kitchen Studio collaborated by completing the cabinetry design and final layout for the entire home. In the basement, we carried the warm gray tones into a custom bar, featuring a 90” wide beverage center from True Appliances. The glass shelving in the open cabinets and the antique mirror give the area a modern twist on a classic pub style bar.

Home Bar Design Ideas with Glass Sheet Splashback and Brick Splashback

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.
