San Carlos Treetop

Cathie Hong Interiors

What started as a kitchen and two-bathroom remodel evolved into a full home renovation plus conversion of the downstairs unfinished basement into a permitted first story addition, complete with family room, guest suite, mudroom, and a new front entrance. We married the midcentury modern architecture with vintage, eclectic details and thoughtful materials.

Extensive 1st floor remodel with great clients in West Chester, PA

Chester County Kitchen & Bath

This project started with wanting a bigger kitchen and a more open floor plan but it turned into a total redesign of the space. By moving the laundry upstairs, we incorporated the old laundry room space into the new kitchen. Removing walls, enlarging openings between rooms, and redesigning the foyer coat closet and kitchen pantry a new space was born. With the new open floor plan, the cabinetry design window layout needed to change as well. An original laundry room window was framed in and re-bricked on the exterior, a large picture window was added to the new kitchen design- adding tons of light as well as great views of the clients backyard and pool area. The dining room window was changed to accommodate new cabinetry. The new kitchen design in Fabuwood Cabinetry’s Galaxy Frost hosts a large island for plenty of prep space and seating for the kids. The dining room has a huge new buffet / dry bar with tiled wall and open shelves. Black Pearl Leathered granite countertops and marble tile backsplash top off the space. What a transformation! There are really to many details to mention. Everything came together to create a terrific new space.

Home Bar Design Ideas with Grey Splashback and Black Benchtop

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.
