Coffee Bar at Irving Park

123 Remodeling Inc.

123 Remodeling redesigned the space of an unused built-in desk to create a custom coffee bar corner. Wanting some differentiation from the kitchen, we brought in some color with Ultracraft cabinets in Moon Bay finish from Studio41 and wood tone shelving above. The white princess dolomite stone was sourced from MGSI and the intention was to create a seamless look running from the counter up the wall to accentuate the height. We finished with a modern Franke sink, and a detailed Kohler faucet to match the sleekness of the Italian-made coffee machine.

St Pete Pool Bungalow

ZaZood

A touch of Paris was the inspiration for the design of our client's 1957 pool bungalow. Being a single female executive she was excited to have us to incorporate the right amount of femininity. Pink is on trend right now and we thought this was the perfect project to use soft hues and pair it with shades of gray and teal. It was important to the client to preserve some of the history of the home. We loved the idea of doing this while coordinating it with modern, clean-line furniture and decor pieces. The main living area needed to serve multiple purposes, from seating for entertaining and relaxing while watching TV alone. Selecting a curved sofa helped maximized seating while lending itself to the client's goal of creating a feminine space. The hardwood floors were refinished to bring back their original charm. The artwork and oversized French mirror were a nod to the Paris inspiration. While the large windows add great natural light to the room, they also created the design challenge for TV placement. To solve this, we chose a modern easel meant to hold a TV. Hints of brass and marble finish the room with a glitzy flare. We encountered a second design challenge directly off the living room: a long, narrow room that served no real purpose. To create a more open floor-plan we removed a kitchen wall and incorporated a bar area for entertaining. We furnished the space with a refinished vintage art deco buffet converted to a bar. Room styling included vintage glasses and decanters as well as a touch of coastal art for the home's nearness to the beach. We accented the kitchen and bar area with stone countertops that held the perfect amount of pinks and grays in the veining. Our client was committed to preserving the original pink tile in the home's bathroom. We achieved a more updated feel by pairing it with a beautiful, bold, floral-print wallpaper, a glamorous mirror, and modern brass sconces. This proves that demolition isn't always necessary for an outdated bathroom. The homeowner now loves entertaining in her updated space

Home Bar Design Ideas with Green Cabinets

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.
