Country affair
What Houzz contributors are saying:
Tuck in a barThe space below this simple and elegant staircase incorporates a bar prep area, with an island placed alongside to perch at or lean on. Note how the deliberately limited palette of materials and the slender metal balusters keep the space looking calm and inviting.Here’s how to put the staircase base and landing to use
Built-in barSpace under the stairs is usually considered storage grounds, but why not indulge yourself and convert it into a home bar. Close enough to the entertainment area, yet tucked away; this space is usually large enough to house not only your general bar essentials but even a sink or mini-fridge. Streamlined to neatly fit under the stairs, this simplistic yet functional bar even has tailor-made cabinets which are then paired with minimalist bar stools to create a laid-back vibe. And when you are not entertaining, pocket doors that come out of the wall can hide the unit from sight. Tip: Bar stools present the perfect opportunity to be playful. If you have a plain bar, create some drama with brightly-coloured stools.
