Elevate Your Entertaining: The Perfect Home Bar

Elevate Your Entertaining: The Perfect Home Bar


3 minute read

For homeowners who revel in the joy of hosting and unwinding, Shere Kitchens is here to turn your entertaining dreams into a stylish reality. A frequent request we receive is to incorporate a home bar into our kitchen designs, catering to those who appreciate the art of hospitality. One such exquisite example is nestled within an open-plan living area, meticulously positioned for optimal entertainment. We're here to discuss how to elevate your entertaining: the perfect home bar...

This bespoke drinks bar is strategically placed next to the kitchen and seamlessly integrated into the dining area, a testament to thoughtful design. It boasts ample space, ensuring that guests can gather around without obstructing the pathway to the living area. The functionality is further enhanced by its proximity to the wine cooler nestled conveniently under the kitchen island, and the fridge freezer with an ice dispenser on the same wall.

Elevate Your Entertaining: The Perfect Home Bar

Each home bar we craft is a unique masterpiece, and this customised creation stands out with its distinctive features. These are some of our favourite design details we consider for the perfect home bar:

  1. Antique Mirror Back: To impart a classic and polished ambiance, an antique mirror graces the back of the home bar, adding a touch of timeless sophistication.

  2. Quartz Bottom: Practicality meets elegance with a quartz bottom, ensuring easy cleanup of any spills and contributing to the bar's overall aesthetic appeal.

  3. Full-Height Cupboard: Maximising storage space, the cupboard extends from floor to ceiling, offering abundant room for the discerning homeowner's collection of glassware.

  4. Oak Shelving: The inclusion of oak shelving not only adds a touch of warmth but also provides a dedicated space for displaying and organising the glassware collection with finesse.

  5. Internal Cabinet Lighting: Balancing romance and practicality, internal cabinet lighting adds a soft glow, creating an inviting atmosphere for those cherished moments of pouring a nightcap or crafting drinks for a dinner party.

In the realm of family living spaces, this home bar is designated as a 'grown-up only' cupboard. When the owners are not entertaining, the cupboard doors can be discreetly closed and secured with the 'precious bar' padlock by Buster and Punch, ensuring that the well-curated bar remains a hidden treasure.

This particular home bar is part of our London Townhouse kitchen project, meticulously crafted by our skilled cabinet makers at our workshop in Shere, near Guildford, Surrey. To delve deeper into this stunning renovation project and explore more images, click here.
