Kitchen Trends (& Tipples!): Welcome To Your Bar!
We have seen a great influx of bar unit and drinks storage requests when designing our client's’ kitchens in the past couple of years and there’s no sign of this trend slowing down!
Countertop Bars
One great way to incorporate a bar cabinet into your new kitchen is to design it as a countertop unit. This is perfect if you have a smaller space or don’t want an entire tall unit dedicated to your favourite hooch. If you’re installing quartz worktops in your kitchen; even better, as the non-porous material is so easy to clean and wipe away any sticky, spilt liquors and mixers! Add reeded glass doors to add a bit of flare or keep it simple with standard timber and keep the inside a pleasant surprise.
Wine Storage
Want to organie your wine? Make it a feature. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or just know you like ‘the red one’, whether it’s a full cellar under the stairs or shelving above your fridge; nothing looks more lavish and sophisticated than your very own wine / champagne area. Now, where’s my feather boa and crystal coupe?
Stand-Alone Bar Units
If countertops just aren’t your thing and maybe you have some more space to play with; a free standing bar unit will have your friends and family ‘ooh’ & ‘aah’ing. A cold shelf to match your kitchen countertops will give that clean and cohesive look, cupboards underneath will help with storage of extra glasses or even larger kitchen gadgets you don’t need or want on display constantly. Add a drawer for things formal cloth napkins, bottle openers, bar spoons, cocktail strainers, and wine stoppers.
Fun, Bespoke Details
The best part of designing and making bespoke cabinetry, is that we get to come up with fun new ideas for your units, as well as executing your ideas! Hanging glass shelving, internal wine racks and shelves as tall or as short as your moonshines require. The world is your oyster! (Or the bar in this case.)
Kick back and pour yourself a drink; you deserve it!
