Builder: Homes by True North Interior Designer: L. Rose Interiors Photographer: M-Buck Studio This charming house wraps all of the conveniences of a modern, open concept floor plan inside of a wonderfully detailed modern farmhouse exterior. The front elevation sets the tone with its distinctive twin gable roofline and hipped main level roofline. Large forward facing windows are sheltered by a deep and inviting front porch, which is further detailed by its use of square columns, rafter tails, and old world copper lighting. Inside the foyer, all of the public spaces for entertaining guests are within eyesight. At the heart of this home is a living room bursting with traditional moldings, columns, and tiled fireplace surround. Opposite and on axis with the custom fireplace, is an expansive open concept kitchen with an island that comfortably seats four. During the spring and summer months, the entertainment capacity of the living room can be expanded out onto the rear patio featuring stone pavers, stone fireplace, and retractable screens for added convenience. When the day is done, and it’s time to rest, this home provides four separate sleeping quarters. Three of them can be found upstairs, including an office that can easily be converted into an extra bedroom. The master suite is tucked away in its own private wing off the main level stair hall. Lastly, more entertainment space is provided in the form of a lower level complete with a theatre room and exercise space.

Pool parties and sports-watching are cherished activities for the family of this 1961 ranch home in San Jose’s Willow Glen neighborhood. As the design process evolved, the idea of the Ultimate Cocktail Bar emerged and developed into an integral component of the new bright kitchen.

A riverfront property is a desirable piece of property duet to its proximity to a waterway and parklike setting. The value in this renovation to the customer was creating a home that allowed for maximum appreciation of the outside environment and integrating the outside with the inside, and this design achieved this goal completely. To eliminate the fishbowl effect and sight-lines from the street the kitchen was strategically designed with a higher counter top space, wall areas were added and sinks and appliances were intentional placement. Open shelving in the kitchen and wine display area in the dining room was incorporated to display customer's pottery. Seating on two sides of the island maximize river views and conversation potential. Overall kitchen/dining/great room layout designed for parties, etc. - lots of gathering spots for people to hang out without cluttering the work triangle. Eliminating walls in the ensuite provided a larger footprint for the area allowing for the freestanding tub and larger walk-in closet. Hardwoods, wood cabinets and the light grey colour pallet were carried through the entire home to integrate the space.

58,354 American Home Bar Design Ideas

Every home needs a spot to catch up on cocktails with friends, have a shot of whiskey after a hard day or sip some wine to welcome the weekend. For most people, that spot is right in the comfort of their own home bar, with a guaranteed a seat. Whether you’re planning a bar room, outdoor bar, or just making room for a portable bar cart, browse american home bar designs and ask yourself the following questions before you get started.

I want to build an american home bar. Where do I start?

First, pick a location. The most popular location for a home bar is in or near the kitchen or dining room. If you prefer entertaining outside, think about outdoor or pool home bars, they are great during the warmer months. If you are limited by space, think of cosy corners to turn into a home bar like the space underneath the staircase or a hidden bar closet in the wall. Once you have secured a location, decide on what functionality you want to include in your american home bar, such as sinks, storage and refrigeration and other home bar accessories.

How do I determine the style of my home bar?

When you explore home bar ideas think about your lifestyle and entertaining needs, these will help determine the overall style of the bar at home. Start with the style of your home and play off similar decor ideas for your american home bar. A kitsch inspired home cocktail bar will look out of place in a victorian home as would a long white walnut home bar jar against a bright red contemporary kitchen.Once you’ve settled on the style, sketch out the other smaller details like furniture, lighting, and barware.

What home bar accessories and furniture should I include?

If you entertain large groups regularly, think about a dedicated seating area around your home bar otherwise use bar stools, lounge chairs, and ottomans to create a casual atmosphere. Home bar furniture, for example, bar stools come in an array of materials and styles, from traditional wooden bar stools, to resort- and industrial-style stools so make sure to pick the style that best suits your existing furniture. If you are creating a freestanding station, you will need a tall bar table, ensure to check that your stools and table height work together before you finalise any home bar designs. Don’t forget to think about storage, add stylish liquor cabinet and wine racks to your bar. Accessorizing is the fun part of designing your space. Draw inspiration from your favorite pub or lounge. Use dim under bar lighting to create a warm, intimate atmosphere or spotlights to brighten and energise the mood. Add a touch of glitz and glamour through your choice of glassware, drinks trolley, ice bucket, shaker and spirit bottles.Pay attention to smaller details to add character to the space like coasters, neon lights or signage Finally, add home bar decor like ornaments, lamps, artwork, photos and travel mementos.
