Transitional Remodel of Kitchen, Bar Area and Dining Room

KITCHEN SOLVERS - La Crosse

Transitional remodeling project where we not only updated the kitchen, but also the bar area and dining room. The homeowners decided to go with new cabinets in the kitchen because of the removal of false beams and bulkheads as well as re-arranging the appliance locations. We opted to reface the bar area, book shelf, dining room built-in and fireplace built-in because of the unique architectural elements of each. The bar area has a curved wall and cabinets on it that was much easier to reface with WalzCraft wood-backed-veneer than to replace with new cabinets. We removed a bulkhead above the bookshelf and built two new custom wall cabinets to help better utilize the bar area. We were able to match a door and drawer style from WalzCraft to the new Portland door from Bridgewood that was used in the kitchen so that when walking from room to room, no one can tell the difference. The kitchen cabinets were done in the color snow while the bar area and dining room were done in Pearl. To complete the new look we installed a MSI Quartz countertop in Zeal Soul Shine, a Carrera glass arabesque mosaic backsplash and a pre-finished dark stained oak floor.

Grey Seated Home Bar Design Ideas

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.
