Traditional Kitchen Remodel

Thompson Remodeling

It's amazing what the removal of bulkheads and a wall can do for a kitchen! In this kitchen remodel, we removed a wall to make the kitchen larger and integrated an eat-in space. We also took out bulkheads and extended cabinets to the ceiling, which makes the space feel larger and provides more storage space. For a modern take on the traditional design aesthetic, we paired white upper cabinets with dark toned wood bottoms and island. A dry bar with glass front cabinets was added to the eat-in area.

A home bar was built into the area to separate the kitchen / breakfast from the family room. An additional use for the bar is a landing area when entering from the garage through the mudroom. With a counter and high bar area, bar stools allow for additional seating while entertaining. Decorative capiz shell penants provide direct light on the bar surface. The barstools are also upholstered in a easy to maintain vinyl and swivel around to join the conversations. Photo: MIro Dvorscak

Large Angled Kitchen Remodel in West Chester

Chester County Kitchen & Bath

We remodeled this large angled kitchen in West Chester. This kitchen already had an interesting shape and tons of windows with great views of the homes backyard. We refinished the entire homes hardwood flooring and wow did Chris Rolek ( hardwood refinisher ) do a fantastic job. The cabinetry was designed and installed using Fieldstone Cabinetry in the Farmington door. The white painted perimeter cabinets were contrasted with a peppercorn painted island and bar area. Beautiful MSI Calacatta Laza quartz countertops blend seamlessly with the new tiled backsplash. Quartz surfaces have come a long way and now perfectly mimic natural stones with the durability that can only come from quartz countertops. What an Awesome new look.

Home Bar Design Ideas with Subway Tile Splashback

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.
