Modern Metallic Ceiling

Prepare a round of drinks at this modern home bar with black marble countertops and creamy white cabinets. Glass shelves are accented with brass brackets that seemingly blend with the metallic paint on the ceiling. A nearby black-and-white modern sofa offers a spot to sip and chat.

From: Maestri Studio

Entertain With Ease

Instead of the kitchen feeling simply like a pass-through space from the front door to the living room, this space was redesigned to make it more of an entertainment destination. Now, airy open cabinets and a wine refrigerator have the functionality of a convenient bar. Its look coordinates with the rest of the kitchen to harmoniously join all the areas together.

From: DMAR Interiors

Floating Shelf Storage

Framed by Ann Sacks porcelain mirror tiles and crisp, dark cabinetry, this home bar's glasses are interspersed with subtle crystal accents — a vase, lidded dish, figurine and pair of decanters — that add personality and subtle visual texture without overwhelming the eye. Panel-ready wine fridges in the lower cabinets provide semi-hidden storage to prevent countertop clutter.

Mediterranean Magic

Updated stainless steel appliances pair with Mediterranean finishes in this home alcove bar. Painted terracotta tiles, muted olive cabinetry and antique brass hardware wrap the corner with warmth, while marble counters strike through the space to balance and brighten.

From: James Farmer

Brimming With Style

"This area, which is part of a large entertaining room, used to be empty, so we had the idea to continue the bar cabinets from around the corner," says designer Timothy Godbold. He maxed out wall space by varying the lengths of the reclaimed oak shelves, where bottles and glasses look fabulous shown off.

Splash of Citrus

This lively, teal butler's pantry delivers in spades with a showy lemon wallpaper, glossy Shaker cabinets and brass latch hardware.

From: Michelle Gage

Accented in Stone

Enjoy a night of entertaining while pouring drinks at this rustic, contemporary home bar with a stacked stone accent wall. Floating glass shelves keep the focus on the stones while providing storage for barware, and an inviting dining table offers plush seating for sipping.

A peacock blue accent wall grounds the whimsical space, while a mahogany demilune bar and matching stool ground the design.

From: Swati Goorha

Arched Elegance

This arched kitchen bar cabinet serves as a head-turning focal point in the otherwise understated kitchen design. Its elegant, curved silhouette, warm oak finish and sleek glass doors bring refinement to the space.

From: Lisa Furtado

Eclectic Flair

A graffiti wall, mounted animal skull, leather bench and Space Age barbershop chairs bring character to this eclectic home bar. The curved custom bar features a rustic wood base juxtaposed with modern lighting.

Star of the Room

The star of the show in this contemporary game room is the striking hammered brass bar that's topped with a neutral marble slab countertop. Black pulls deck the brass cabinets, coordinating perfectly with the brass and black wall sconces that hang above a trio of black-and-white art.

Step into this hidden home bar lined with a red brick wall to make a special drink for the evening ahead. The narrow space is filled from top to bottom with white cabinets and plenty of space on the marble countertop. A marble farmhouse sink offers the perfect place to wash hands and rinse off drinkware.

From: Caitlin Jones Ghajar

Elevated Alcove

This little, formerly unused alcove is located in a pass-through space in the home. The once overlooked area is now a cheers-worthy home bar complete with lacquered peacock cabinets, a honeycomb wine rack and a fiery embossed wall covering backsplash that extends to the ceiling overhead.

From: Swati Goorha

Sleek & Chic

What was once a cramped butler's pantry is now a sleek, easy-to-access bar. A new soffit overhead helps define the space, while the shelving is kept light and airy with glass panels seated on slim brass rods.

From: Christine Donner

Contemporary Black and White

An experienced bartender will tell you that quality sips require just a few high-quality, well-balanced ingredients — and an experienced home bar designer will tell you the same thing. When pulling together an entertaining space like this one, "I like to use things in pairs or threes to keep it less fussy, [to arrange] things that are actually used in a bar and try to keep them a similar material," designer Lisa Vail says. "I think it looks too busy and distracting if there are too many colors and materials in a small space."

Cocktails + Conversation

A kitchen in the basement? Yes! There are many reasons for including one in your basement renovation such as part of an entertainment space, a student or in-law suite, a rental unit or even a home business. Wet bars can incorporate many aspects of a full-size kitchen but omit the range.

Small Nook Bar
