1. What a wonderful way to make use of the under-stair area. The customised matte-grey bar unit complements the dark flooring and stands out as a modish and stylish addition. It holds plenty of storage: the glass-fronted shelving on top is able to accommodate lots of glasses – after all, different types of wine and spirits require different types of glasses. I also like how the counter is enhanced with subtle, recessed lighting, making the countertop sparkle.
2. This bar area is designed as an exclusive unit with multiple shelves, storage and seating, and looks like a real party starter. The large dark wooden cabinets could have made the area look bulky but the stone walls, light-toned flooring, cream chairs and the pendant and spotlights lighten up the space. Another intriguing feature is the elevated counter for bar stools, which takes the experience of wining and dining to the next level.
3. An empty space between two walls has been converted into a well-equipped bar – ideal for occasional cocktail nights and intimate dinner parties. The dark-toned cabinet, fridge and wine rack have been carefully fitted inside the space.

4. What catches my attention immediately? It’s definitely the backsplash and the smart wine-glass rack. The entire unit accommodates two functions – that of a bar and of a curio cabinet. While the left-hand-side houses the owner’s collection of decorative objects and family pictures, the right is meant for entertaining guests.
5. An unassuming space, yet filled with character and uniqueness … this bar is encased within a large niche in the wall. The dark cabinets, steel counter and sink offset the exposed brick and the linear visuals of the wooden shelves. The narrow unit holds a few bottles and cans. The long counter area allows one to fix a little snack with a drink. The entire space is subtly lit up with spotlights, giving it a casual, relaxed look.
6. This ‘barmoire’ (a standalone wardrobe or closet used for storing bar accessories and bottles), complete with a mini fridge and bottles, can be opened and used or closed and concealed, as required. When opened, its all-white shelves merge with the bleached walls and door, thereby making the unit a visually sleek space. The mirrored back, glass shelves and bottle drawers make this custom-designed piece a winner among Houzzers.

7. A treat for connoisseurs, here is an entire storage unit cum bar area dedicated to displaying the best of wine and spirits. The glass-enclosed space with brick walls shows well-designed, orderly cabinets. The den-like space is small but accommodates all the essentials for the bar – accessories, bottles, cans … the works. The neutral flooring gives a lift to the dark wood, making the place look luxurious.
8. There’s a place for everything in this large modern unit. The glazed cabinets in Copley grey show how different things can be smartly arranged in one system, and the open backlit shelf and counter highlight elements such as the multi-hued decanters and the bottles. The textured glass gives the slightest peek of the beverage glasses and the double fridge helps segregate the wine and beer.

9. The colour white plays a big role in this bar area that has been built into a corner. The bulkiness of the unit gets visually reduced due to the use of this colour, as it seamlessly merges with the walls. Convenience is key in this open-shelf layout. Whatever you might need – bottles, glasses, trays or decanters – can be easily located … including a place to wash up. To lend some softness and cheer to the uniformly coloured space are yellow flowers and diffusers, that create an inviting aura.
10. This luxurious distressed-wood bar with brick walls features plenty of space for the homeowner to play bartender or even to hire one for a big party. Adding to the vibe are the smart bar stools and the shimmering pendants, which dial up the style quotient. The red hue emanating from this setup, contrasted with the dark flooring, gives a magnetic quality to the whole space, luring guests to spend maximum time here. Are you enticed?
11. This kitchen bar accommodates sobriety and fun. It lies just off the kitchen – the perfect setup for keeping guests entertained while the host finishes cooking. It also works as an element of surprise – the free-standing unit, enhanced with dark wood, is hidden behind doors that help it disappear into the wall when it’s not in use. The colour of the wood is enhanced by subtle lighting. The system offers plenty of storage for glass and stemware and a mini wine cooler.
