Home bar decorating ideas
We are building a wet bar under the stairs in the hallway leading to our backyard (our house has unusual layout where living room and kitchen are upstairs, so this bar will be very helpful for BBQ parties).
Have installed paintable cabinets, sink, wine fridge, and a beautiful reclaimed wooden countertop, plus will install matching shelves with iron brackets soon. Looking to do something fun, maybe a little quirky or colourful. One of our inspirations is this retro bottle cap remover we bought in Biarritz, France.
Looking for advice on:
-should we fully tile back/side walls or just do backsplash tiles and paint above something bright
-what colour scheme for tiles, paint and cabinets
-any ideas on lighting
-anything else!

3 years agoHi Pachacat,
This seems an exiting little project!Because of the sink i would definite do a splash back. Have you thought of a mirror splash back ? Using mirror will make the space more spacious and brighter. If you definitely wish to do tiles then what about dark tiles and navy blue unit like the below concept image?
Shelvings above the bar like "Noir London Design" suggested is definitely a good idea, which you can either do the shelves in timber or glass.
Thank you and good luck in your project.

Need ideas to decorate my wall
Comments (15)Once again, carolins has taken the words right out of my mouth. I sometimes feel like a crusader for entertainment centers and lowering art! You have a dynamic room with so much potential. Your wall could look amazing with the armoire carolins has pictured above. Of course, lower your sconces so that they're a about 4" below the top of the armoire and about 7" from the sides. Your fireplace should be your focal point with your wall being strong but not competing. Rooms get personality from smaller accents but you have too many little things that take away from the great colored pillows and the picture. Be careful not to hang things in straight lines--top of pictures should never line up with tops of doors or curtain rods. I wish we could see your fireplace in another photo. Chairs should form conversation groups with the couch like Carolyn has outlined. I like your chandelier but you might think about lowering it or moving it above a dining table--it looks rather lost way up there....See MoreNeed ideas on decorating my spare bedroom
Comments (9)If you are wanting to almost start over, I would paint in a soft blue or soft blue/green or soft green. These colors are restful, soothing and inviting. Wood floors will be great. I would get white bedding and maybe some colorful shams. White will work with anything else. Move the bed in the center of the wall. I would repaint the nightstand white and move it closer to the closet to be able to center the bed. Get another nightstand same height. Or get two new white taller night stands. You could get a small desk to go with the chair. Paint the chair white. Maybe window panels in a semi-sheer woven frint fabric. Place a dressing mirror on the back of the door. Take the colors from the drape for throw pillows on the bed. It will feel bright and fresh, yet restful. Something like this feeling Wall color and bedding...See MoreDecorating around a red brick fireplace!!
Comments (7)I hope you can talk her out of that. The walls are beautiful and there will be glue to remove and a price to pay if you ever want to go back. Most people are removing their paper not putting paper up. Many houses have dated paneling and don't look this nice around the fire place. I still think the middle area would look good grey to match the grey around the opening of the fire place. It would look like a visible chimney. I do like lofts/ industrial looks so this appeals more to me than some people. Show her pictures of red brick walls in loft studios and what they are doing with colors on the interior walls and she can get ideas of what color she wants. This probably sounds odd to you but I l like the dirty spot on the bricks. I wish some pros would weigh in....See MoreWin a design consultation at The permanent tsb Ideal Home Show!
Comments (74)Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie...See More

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoHi, I'd paint the cabinets (off) black and tile the backspash up to the top. Or maybe up to the first shelf. Need to see a bit more of the room to be able to visualise it better. I think up to the top will make a great impact though. What do you think of this? https://www.toppstiles.co.uk/zellica/zellica-tiles#selection.size=6cm%20x%2024cm&selection.product_colour=Zellica%20Orche
I'd probably place the tiles vertically staggered though. Just for a different effect.pachacat thanked Carolina
