We spent months looking for the perfect cabinet to go behind the bar when my clients came across this beauty… The coloring, the distressed finish and overall vibe was perfect! Used primarily for storage, its also the spot for mixing drinks.

This luxury interior design project in Raleigh NC by Lavish transforms an upper-level suite into a glamorous entertainment retreat built for hosting, playing, and relaxing in style. Our clients wanted a high-design space that could do it all — a place to mix a drink, shoot a round of pool, watch a film, and unwind. Lavish designed a series of connected rooms unified by a refined, contemporary palette of warm brass, honed dark stone, fluted millwork, and collected art. A statement wet bar anchors the suite with oversized brass dome pendants, a dramatic geometric stone backsplash, and a honed black island. Nearby, a billiards room with a moody vaulted ceiling, a plush home theater with tiered seating, and light-filled lounge areas layered with sculptural furniture and abstract art complete the experience. Lavish provides full-service interior design across the Triangle and the North Carolina coast, from Raleigh to Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington. Love this look? Message Lavish to bring it to your home in the Triangle or Wilmington area.

This beautiful cabinet is the home of a bar for mixing drinks. We added shelves behind the doors and wallpaper will be added to the walls behind the bar to bring in the layers of design that will work with the vintage rugs that are a part of The Decorator Shoppe.

THE SETUP These homeowners had an outdoor kitchen built when they built their home several years ago. It was functional, but the aesthetic was underwhelming. The island was clad in the same stone that was on the house, and it had basic black granite countertops. They love to grill and host outdoor gatherings, so an upgrade was definitely in order. Design Objectives: Create an elevated outdoor space that aligns with the grandeur of the elegant home Design of the new space should flow with the architecture of the house Include a serving area with a beverage fridge, a sink, and a faucet Allow for workspace in the grill area Include island seating THE REMODEL Design Challenges: Creating a layout that is in sync with the exterior architecture of the home Sourcing the perfect state-of-the-art grill with all the latest bells and whistles, and placing in an ideal layout that maximizes functionality and hospitality Specifying materials that will withstand the elements Design Solutions: A large curved island designed to mirror the curve of the home’s breakfast nook exterior A separate sink area with a disposal and a beverage fridge offers a functional space for mixing drinks and serving food Custom limestone posts echo the limestone details on the exterior of the home Diresco Quartz countertops add elegance and durability – they are designed to be used outdoors in harsh climates Decorative tile clads the sides and back of the island A raised bed for flowers and herbs adds color and softness to the space Undercounter lighting adds ambiance at night THE RENEWED SPACE From great backyard to true oasis – an outdoor kitchen makes makes elegant outdoor cooking and dining possible. The homeowners had their first outdoor kitchen cookout experience right away and report that they couldn’t be happier!

This is more than a patio. It's your new favorite restaurant, your private lounge, and your backyard bar, all powered by design. The Azenco R-BLADE™ pergola shown here brings architecture and function together with masterful precision. Custom-built for this outdoor kitchen and bar, it features motorized aluminum louvers that rotate up to 150 degrees, giving you full control over light and airflow.

Whether you're mixing drinks with guests or grilling for the family, this pergola adapts to your needs with a smooth, whisper-quiet system that outperforms standard covers.
