A wetbar with all amenities really makes a statement in this Traditional Modern home. Natural light from the open floorplan illuminates across the glass tile backsplash while recessed lighting from above enhances the clean lines of the cabinetry and countertop. #line #lighting #glasses #statement #naturallight #modernhome #theopen #modernhomes #naturallights #wetbar #amenities #floorplans #tiles #countertops #illuminate #recess #enhance #backsplash #illumination

Striking Basement Bar

Paramount Kitchen & Bath

This handsome basement bar finish kept crisp clean lines with high contrast between the dark cabinets and light countertops and backsplash. Stainless steel appliances, sink and fixtures compliment the design, and floating shelves leave space for the display of glassware.

In our Contemporary Bellevue Residence we wanted the aesthetic to be clean and bright. This is a similar plan to our Victoria Crest home with a few changes and different design elements. Areas of focus; large open kitchen with waterfall countertops and awning upper flat panel cabinets, elevator, interior and exterior fireplaces, floating flat panel vanities in bathrooms, home theater room, large master suite and rooftop deck.

Wet bar adjacent to the new home theater. This space was previously a basement master bathroom, which was completely removed to make way for the bar. The new tile floor has a beautiful wood look. The countertops are Quartz solid surface. Sony 4K TV is a 65" diagonal with a Sonos Playbar and Subwoofer. The doors beyond the bar allow access to the theater gear rack below and the Lutron RadioRa2 dimmers above. The entrance to the theater is behind the doors and to the left of the movie posters. At the end of the cabinets (hidden behind the bar wall) is a Kitchen Aid mini fridge and a wine cooler.

Home Bar Design Ideas with Glass Tile Splashback and Ceramic Floors

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.
