Design suggestions, home bar

3 years ago

Hello all! We just finished building a new home and are all moved in. Due to some issues with our builder, our cabinets were done wide enough. We’re looking for some suggestions on how to make this area complete. One option is adding brick to the tv wall (thin brick, tan color) and bring the blue that is in the pool room area into the bar. We don’t know what to do with the area on the side by fridges and looking for suggestions.

    WHAT " I ahve no clue what this is even close to finished and why 2 TVs in the kitchen I assume this is a rec room space not your actual kitchen and those TVs are not ideal there unless no guests ever sit except on the 4 stools facing the TV wall.

    I agree with above, I don't think the TV wall needs anything else. Something big on the side walls depending upon your interests. Sports themed, etc. You could maybe move the fridges out a few inches to give the TV's a bit more breathing room-hard to tell in the picture.

    One thing I want to do, and have not followed up on so who knows if I will, is to get movie posters framed of our favourite movies. I want them to fill our rec room wall

    I would use more wood to link to the oak barrel and other pieces.


    trash can receptacle on the side of the fridge, shelves for liqueur on the right, hang the 1/4 barrel and get a great bold piece of wall art for the left wall.





    Not necessarily either of these pics, but something with this vibe to pull in the fun colors from the rec room

    What a fantastic space!!

    If it were me, I would eventually want the fridges to look more built in - You could do some measuring and might get lucky and find some ikea storage pieces that could fit -

    but down the road I’d have a custom cabinetry person create storage and surrounds for the fridges on that large wall

    for now I’d just be hosting parties and enjoying all the fun :)


    ETA - i might paint the back wall with the 2 TV’s the same dark color as the pool room

    Very cool space and clearly a rec room in the basement (how a “pro” didn’t realize that idk 🤷‍♀️). I would live in it for a while, suspect those corner space and walls will fill up with time.

    If it were me I would do the entire TV wall with smoked mirror tile or a fantastic 3D mural

    Maybe move the fridges to a side wall and add a snack station/counter between the two and some posters.




    Now back wall can become a really nice focal wall. I’d go moody with a deep blue color, add iron/wood shelving on the sides with lighting.

    The fridge and drink fridge currently look like after thoughts. Is there anyway to have more cabinets made and then you can add those on the end or make the pieces look more incorporated by adding two small drink fridges and adding a plant beside the stainless steel fridge. Here are a few of the bars we did for clients which might help you more:

    i like the idea of a mirror on that wall on the left - and perhaps someplace to lounge - sofa, bench, chairs? I like the idea of darker paint - it would feel a bit cozier, I think.
