9. Forest Refreshment

8. Feeling Knotty
Rustic knotty wood and an elegant marble mosaic backsplash are perfectly paired in this Warren, New Jersey, kitchen. Catherine Rose Design & Co. used glass on the tall upper cabinet doors to keep the bar feeling light. A beverage fridge makes it easy for everyone to grab a drink without getting in the cook’s way.

7. Down-Low Libations
This St. Pete Beach, Florida, home bar, complete with a double beverage fridge and an ice maker, sits in a sweet spot. It’s close to the kitchen and dining areas, as well as right outside the patio door. In addition, Michelle Miller Design made the most of a space that’s often wasted: the area under the staircase. That was extra important in a beach bungalow where every inch counts.

6. Bold Fashioned
Art Deco style inspired this bar in a New York City condo. By tucking it into a niche across from the elegant white kitchen, Gallery KBNY had freedom to provide some bold contrast. The brass accents in the black Nero Marquina marble backsplash tie in with the solid brass hardware and fixtures that appear in both the bar and the kitchen spaces.

5. Dark and Stormy
Arches are an architectural motif throughout this renovated San Francisco home, so gamble + design nestled this bar into a deep arched niche. The cabinetry design repeats the use of graceful arches, turning them upside down. In terms of color, the deep teal finish and an ombre backdrop create the perfect cocktail hour mood.

The cabinet panels conceal a wine fridge, a 24-inch fridge drawer and special custom pullouts for bottle and bar tool storage.
