DuraSupreme Cabinetry, cherry, Sunbury House door style with Clove Stain and Black Accent. This area was a little tricky but we pulled it off without a hitch. The back of the bar was the cherry on top...so to speak. Debbie Harrell was the designer on this project.

This shot illustrates the black washed finish over the existing oak cabinets. Only the arched accent wall is a new cabinet feature. The lighting, wrought-iron accents and granite tops gave us a new look quickly.

This beautiful home was in need of added function in several places. By using similar cabinet door styles moldings and stains these new additions blend seamlessly with the homes original cabinetry. A stunning iron gate opened to a small room perfect for wine storage and a dry bar. Using the height in the house to run cabinets and wine storage all the way to the ceiling makes this small room fill much larger and a built in step stool puts everything within arm’s reach. Shelving and wine glasses float over the stack stone backsplash. The stone compliments the homes feel and further serves to highlight the space. Cabinets were laid out to provide the perfect place for the clients to hang their custom Miller Lite sign. Lighting the space to enhance the sign, stone and provide task lighting is achieved with wall sconce’s and spot lighting. Finished perfectly with a granite countertop and beverage refrigerator this once plain space is now a focal point in the amazing home. The home office was just a space to pass through before. Now it’s a favorite spot to work, with a view to die for. After listening to the client’s needs, a layout of custom cabinets now house everything for a beautiful and functional home office. Printers and computers found a home in lower cabinets with easy access to them while sitting at the desk. A large media cabinet houses the homes entertainment components and provides for display shelving. Additional file cabinets complete the custom designed. The living room built in was designed to add the perfect place to display their favorite things. Plus they gained functional storage to house media. The dining room insets provided the idea location to add beautify curio like display shelving. Glass shelves allow for added lighting to highlight the homeowner’s collection.

The material is cherry with a clove stain and black accent to match the cabinets on the other side of the bar and the kitchen. We had a tricky curved wall to work with but we managed quite well with solid half columns and thin cherry veneer. The installer on the job made all the difference. Earl Homer of Fort Walton Beach, Florida is hands down one of the best in the business. Debbie Harrell was the designer on this project.

Home Bar Design Ideas with Granite Benchtops and Travertine 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.
