This stunning Aspen Woods showhome is designed on a grand scale with modern, clean lines intended to make a statement. Throughout the home you will find warm leather accents, an abundance of rich textures and eye-catching sculptural elements.

The expansive white kitchen is bright and inviting with contrasting black elements and warm oak floors for a contemporary feel. An adjoining great room is anchored by a Scandinavian-inspired two-storey fireplace finished to evoke the look and feel of plaster. Each of the five bedrooms has a unique look ranging from a calm and serene master suite, to a soft and whimsical girls room and even a gaming inspired boys bedroom.

San Luis Kitchen Co.

The owners of a local historic Victorian home needed a kitchen that would not only meet the everyday needs of their family but also function well for large catered events. We designed the kitchen to fit with the historic architecture -- using period specific materials such as dark cherry wood, Carrera marble counters, and hexagonal mosaic floor tile. (Not to mention the unique light fixtures and custom decor throughout the home.) The island boasts back to back sinks, double dishwashers and trash/recycling cabinets. A 60" stainless range and 48" refrigerator allow plenty of room to prep those parties! Just off the kitchen to the right is a butler's pantry -- storage for all the entertaining table & glassware as well as a perfect staging area. We used Wood-Mode cabinets in the Beacon Hill doorstyle -- Burgundy finish on cherry; integral raised end panels and lavish Victorian style trim are essential to the kitchen's appeal. To the left of the range a breakfast bar and island seating meets the everyday prep needs for the family. Wood-Mode Fine Custom Cabinetry: Beacon HIll

Caipirinha Kitchen and Bar

Nar Design Group

Ah, the Caipirinha. The deliciously citrusy national drink of Brazil. Like the liquor, this corner bar brings no shortage of flavor to this cozy kitchen, complete with colorful accent rugs, beachy barstools, and traditionally Portuguese Azulejo kitchen tiling. A stand-out feature of this design is the liquor cabinet, complete with a colorful hexagonal backsplash, and industrial framing around its glass shelves. Bringing back the spirit of Brazil, this kitchen incorporates many traditional elements into its design. Woven textiles, mystic paintings, and azeueljo tiling come together to create the perfect relaxed atmosphere for lounging around the kitchen or cooking churrisqueria.

Bonus Room Renovation Bellevue, WA

Steven Ray Construction Inc.

To create this incredible entertaining space, we started with all new cabinets, new countertops, and new lighting. The variegated hardwood floors bring an eye catching element to the room. Special space was designated for the flat screen TV, the focal point of the room. Finally, a wine closet and a custom color pool table were brought in as the main attractions, making this space the place to be for game nights (football or board), house parties, or just relaxing with guests.

Home Bar Design Ideas with Multi-Coloured Floor and White 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.
