Now you can see the advantage of removing the wall and opening up the kitchen to the family area. The owner can stand behind his brand new bar, talk to his guest and still have a great view of the 80 inch TV screen on the opposite wall. For continuity, the cabinetry and countertops match what we used in the kitchen.

Mitchell Wilk Architecture

This custom bar is located in the home's formal living room. The countertop is fixed, but the TV, wet bar and shelving can be closed off. This disappearing bar makes the living room more functional when entertaining. Says architect Doug Wilk, "They have a few drinks, maybe turn on the game, and then when they are done it can be closed off. It literally goes away."

Transitional Home Bar with Concrete Countertops Ideas

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 transitional 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 transitional 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 transitional barroom or cantina. For portable options, try a fun bar cart.

What transitional home bar furniture should I get?

Choose furniture that will coordinate well with the rest of your home’s transitional 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 transitional home bar?

Accessorizing is the fun part of finalizing transitional home bar designs. Find a theme that you want to incorporate — think about what you might see at your favorite transitional 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 transitional 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!
