The Zwarte House project blends refined luxury with a warm, monochromatic colour palette, creating an inviting yet glamorous space. Designed for both function and style, this project exemplifies modern elegance and subtle opulence. The centrepiece of this kitchen is the exquisite Taj Mahal stone, which sets the tone for the rich material palette. Complementing the stone are custom door profiles featuring fluting and narrow shaker designs, accentuated by elegant brass shadow lines and hardware. A hidden pseudo butler’s pantry with feature timber shelving seamlessly integrates additional storage while maintaining the kitchen’s sleek design. The kitchen cleverly conceals four ovens, a full-height separate fridge and freezer, and two dishwashers, all within the custom cabinetry. The integrated corner fridge and other hidden elements highlight the attention to detail and thoughtful design, allowing the kitchen to maintain its streamlined appearance. Matching the luxurious kitchen is a sophisticated bar designed with the same high-quality materials, ensuring cohesion across the space. The result is a kitchen that is both glamorous and practical, tailored to provide an effortless cooking and entertaining experience.

Wine Room Elegance

Edmond Kitchen & Bath LLC

Replacing an Old World style space, we created a new elegant wine room with farmhouse elements coupled with our interpretation of modern European detailing. Beginning with white inset base cabinetry, we designed the matte black upper cabinet with warm oak interior and integrated lighting to bring warmth and interest to the space. Our custom built and lighted bottle shelf is placed in front of beveled mirror tiles over Cambria Minera counters to bring the bling this space deserves! Another beautiful space to share and create memories.

Transitional Home Bar Design Ideas

A transitional 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 transitional 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 transitional 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 transitional 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.
