Removed massive ugly pantry cabinet with giant door that made this perfect stop overlooking the Vegas strip unusable! Turned it into this morning coffee spot or drink before the tables spot or...;)

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.

Small Eclectic Home Bar Ideas and Designs

A home bar is one of the ultimate indulgences for a homeowner. By no means essential but all the more satisfying for that very reason. Whether your home bar ideas would be having the boys round to watch the big match in a pub-style atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon, ‘going uptown’ to sip an espresso martini in your home cocktail bar in the loft, or hoping to recreate the vibe of an intimate speakeasy in your basement, an eclectic style home bar is a treat that’s guaranteed to lift your spirits. A place where you are always guaranteed a seat.

How big should my bohemian home bar be?

The ideal style of your eclectic home bar will depend on your lifestyle and entertaining habits as well as the amount of available space. If big groups come round regularly then you should consider dedicating a part of your living room or basement to a larger seating area – complete with a bar table, bar stools and wet bar section – to keep everyone suitably comfortable and merry. If TV is essential, check if there is a wall nearby that’s a big enough to mount it on without restricting anyone’s view. A key feature of home bar ideas is the storage – gleaming wine racks and low-lit glass shelves. Make sure you can afford these little delights after you have built the basic structure. Alternatively, if space is limited, a freestanding bohemian home cocktail bar would give you somewhere to prepare cocktails that is out of the way – in the corner of your dining room or under the stairwell for instance. Also, mirrored surfaces can help to create the illusion of space. Sketch the layout of the room in which you would like to place the bar and think about where all those bottles, cans and snacks are going to go. Then speak to either a home bar specialist about your home bar ideas, or to a joiner about adapting a vintage bookcase or creating something bespoke.

What style of home bar should I choose?

Try to play off the interior decor of the surrounding area. A kitsch Manhattan-inspired home cocktail bar will look out of place in a country cottage, for example. Similarly, a long white walnut home bar would jar against a bright red contemporary kitchen. That said, contrast might be something that you accentuate, not least through the choice of flooring, which would help to make your home bar stand out. Collect eclectic home bar ideas in an Ideabook, settle upon a theme and then discuss the design with your home bar specialist or joiner. Lighting sets the mood in bars, particularly late at night, so pay special attention to placement, intensity and how you want your guests to feel. Dim underbar lighting creates a warm, intimate atmosphere, while spotlights brighten and energise.

Which eclectic home bar accessories and facilities should I include?

This really does depend on how far you are willing to go. A home bar can replicate almost everything you see in your local, from running water and refrigerated wine cabinets to draught beer pumps and bespoke lighting and a sound systems. Again, the most important thing is to work with what’s there – available space and home decor. Is that black lizard effect leather flooring really going to go? How about the turquoise splashback? Do those flowers look out of place or will they help to soften up what’s fast becoming a man cave? There are several ways to make a home bar more visually interesting without spending big on fixtures and fittings. Select eclectic furniture that’s comfortable but also sparks interest, such as salvaged chairs or a second-hand leather sofa. Add a touch of glitz and glamour through your choice of glassware, drinks trolley, ice bucket, shaker and spirit bottles if you want the home cocktail bar look. Then scatter a few curios around the bar – eclectic ornaments, lamps, artwork, photos and travel mementos are great eclectic home bar ideas to get the conversation started.
