Mid-Century Bar in Larchmont

Bilotta Kitchen & Home

Tiny spaces can, indeed, make huge statements. Case in point is this sensational wet bar, nestled into a living room niche. The décor is relaxed, starting with the checker-weave sisal rug, soft blue velvet upholstery on mission-inspired walnut furnishings, and the rugged fieldstone fireplace with reclaimed wood mantle. Instead of blending inconspicuously into the space, it stands out in bold contrast. Strategically placed opposite the fireplace, it creates a prominent “look at me” design moment. Flat panel doors in beautifully-figured natural walnut lend a modern richness. Side walls, ceiling, and backsplash are all enrobed in the same veneer panels, giving the alcove a snug, warm appeal. To maintain the clean lines, cabinet hardware was eliminated: wall units have touch latches; bases have a channel with unique integrated recesses on the backs of the doors. This petite space lives large for entertaining. Uppers provide plenty of storage for glassware and bottles, while pullouts inside a full-height base cabinet hold bar essentials. The beverage fridge is discreetly hidden behind a matching panel. When your objective is a cohesive, unified esthetic, any additional materials have to complement the cabinetry without upstaging them. The honed limestone countertop and hammered nickel sink contribute quiet texture. This project was designed by Bilotta’s, Senior Designer, Randy O’Kane in collaboration with Jessica Jacobson Designs.

Everyone has their favorite spot to enjoy a glass of wine or a shot of whiskey. For some people, that spot is right in the comfort of their own home bar. In-home bars can act as a central hub for entertainment, and can easily bring with them the fun atmosphere of a tavern or cocktail lounge. When browsing photos for home bar ideas, ask yourself the following questions to make sure you create exactly what you want and need:

I want to build a home bar. Where do I start?

First, pick a location. Generally, people will build a basement bar or corner bar in an area near the kitchen or dining room. If you are limited in terms of available indoor space, an outdoor bar is an excellent option, especially during warmer seasons. Once you have secured a location, decide on what functionality you want to include in your space, such as sinks, storage and refrigeration. This will help you with the overall layout of your home bar design, and then you can start picking materials and finishes that will coordinate with the rest of the space.

Do I need a wet bar or portable bar?

Including a sink in the functionality of your new watering hole makes it a wet bar. Sinks are convenient for home bars if you choose a location far from your kitchen. Don’t need running water? You might think about going with one of the many portable home bar design ideas, which will enable you to conveniently turn any space in your house into a barroom or cantina. For portable options, try a fun bar cart.

What home bar furniture should I get?

Choose furniture that will coordinate well with the rest of your home’s decor. Seating and storage are essential to home bar designs, so look for bar stools and a liquor cabinet of some sort. If you are creating a freestanding station instead of using existing countertops, you will need a bar table, which are taller and shallower than regular dining tables. Check that your stool and table height work together before you finalize any home bar designs. Once you’ve found all of the right furniture pieces, you can implement your favorite decorative elements based on the home bar ideas that inspire you the most.

How should I decorate my home bar?

Accessorizing is the fun part of finalizing home bar designs. Find a theme that you want to incorporate — think about what you might see at your favorite pub or alehouse. There are infinite bar decorating ideas to choose from, but don’t stress too much about finding the right barware pieces, as these are easy to change out. Bottle openers, decanters, ice buckets, cocktail shakers and glassware are a few of the functional accessories to remember to pick up. Coasters, neon lights or signage are all great home bar ideas that will help you achieve the look you want, whether it’s a futuristic lounge or a historical saloon. Last, but not least, don’t forget to stock up on your beverage of choice!
