My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

home bar advice

last year

Hi! Designing an at home bar for our basement and need help deciding on countertops and barstools.

I want to go for a black and gold chic / glam bar. Black cabinets with gold handles and accents. I’m struggling on what color counters to do-black with white veining or more of a marbling of black gray white gold.

I’m also struggling with barstools. Would a light gray compliment or clash?

I’ve uploaded my vision board along with some inspiration pictures. Thanks for all your thoughts!
