Sarah was inspired by the Art Deco style of the 1920s to create life in this area. Iron, aluminum, lacquered wood, leather, and vintage mirrors are some of the vintage materials chosen for the bar, completely designed by Sarah and produced in Germany by artisans. Black and brown zigzagged rugs perfectly compliment the more modern elements of this space, such as the angular pool table and the fierce photography display of “The Woman on Fire” by Guido Argentini.

This craftsman lake home incorporates modern amenities and cherished family heirlooms. Many light fixtures and furniture pieces were acquired over generations and very thoughtfully designed into the new home. The open concept layout of this home makes entertaining guests a dream.

Hosting was a top priority for our clients, who requested a serving bar with lots of storage and room to sit. To maximize space, we designed a custom U-shaped bar with ample seating. Inside the bar, we made room for lots of appliances, including two refrigerators on each end. The bar wouldn’t be complete without drawer components to hold wine and liquor bottles, so we outfitted the space with all the storage they needed, including an additional serving area that provides even more room.

Kirkwood, MO Designer Jennifer Chapman Photographer Karen Palmer Photography Our clients wanted to create the ultimate entertaining space. It was important for the basement to have a connection to the outdoors, as this was part of a larger project including their deck and patio. The window at the bar is a double casement that opens super wide to act as a pass-through to the patio space. We also changed up the traditional slider to a pair of custom black metal french doors that really make a statement. The clients wanted the vibe to be fun and modern . The three dimensional tile the sleek electric fireplace create the perfect focal point in the TV room. We utilized the space under the stairs for a small wine room that is temperature controlled. The wine room paired with the wood and cable stair railing creates a beautiful and modern centerpiece to the bar and game area. The bright, floral wallpaper in the bathroom adds a fun touch to a small space. Ultimately, we created the perfect place for this family to hang out with each other for movie nights or invite friends over for both indoor and outdoor entertaining.

Home Bar Design Ideas with Black Splashback and Brown 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.
