Finding the Right Personalized Bar for You

Planning your next home renovation? Consider adding a personalized bar to your “must-have” list! A cocktail bar or a basement lounge is a great addition to a home renovation design. Not only do built-in at-home bars give you designated spaces for entertaining, they make excellent extensions to family dinner nights!

The best part about having a bar at home? Not needing to go out for drinks! Customize your home bar with one-ofa-kind accessories, from bottles and glassware to silly aprons and personalized bar logos.

THE BASEMENT ENTERTAINMENT ZONE

Transform your basement into a lounge space fully furnished with a wine cooler, mini-fridge, and glassware. Throw in some comfy chairs and a cozy area rug to create the perfect space to watch the next game. We recommend luxury vinyl flooring or laminate near the wet bar in your lounge space because they perform well in high-humidity areas like the basement. Plus, waterproof floors make cleaning up those drink spills easier!

Personalized bars don’t have to be just for alcoholic beverages— espresso bars and tea stations make crafting at-home brews fun, too! Maybe you’re a coffee aficionado, or your partner is a tea snob—look to install a custom bar fully equipped with a hot water faucet and a built-in espresso machine. You can even add custom drawers for essentials like Keurig pods, coffee mugs, and creamer.

Perfect for the early-bird crew, a breakfast bar nook has all the essentials for your first meal of the day. Often, breakfast bars include hot beverages, cereal, and fresh baked goods, so think of the equipment that you are most likely to need, such as a French press, an electric kettle, or a mini fridge for juice. Keep a bowl of fresh fruit and a blender on hand so you can kick off your morning with a refreshing smoothie.

If you’re currently renovating your kitchen, you might consider adding a butler’s pantry. These pantries have grown in popularity over the past few years as an extra space to store kitchen equipment, bulk ingredients, and baking goods that you might not want on display in the main kitchen. Plus, with a built-in fridge, a butler’s pantry offers the perfect space to prep before-dinner drinks and keep your mixers and other ingredients out of the main fridge space.

All you need is a bar cart or extra counter space. You can keep your cocktail lounge casual by displaying your prized bottles of liquor. Don’t forget to fully equip your cocktail bar with the essentials, including a cocktail shaker, fine strainer, and mixing glass. You can even level up with a built-in wine cooler to keep your favorite bottle of red close at hand.

Who doesn’t love a little extra fridge storage and prepping space? The kitchen minbar provides just that, offering a place to stash beverages and more counter space to prepare your drinks.
