Cost: As with every home improvement project, the cost will depend on the scope of your project, your choice of materials and finishes, and the price of labor where you live. Luly Melarti, a designer and architect at TerraCotta Properties in Decatur, Georgia, estimates that adding a bar similar to this one she did for entertaining-loving clients could cost around $9,200 — and that’s if there’s an existing niche where it could be placed and walls don’t need to be moved. She breaks it down this way: Design fees and labor: $4,000 Cabinets: $3,000 Refrigerator: $1,200 Countertop: $600 Mirror backsplash: $400
How to Create a Built-In Home Bar Photo 1 of 7 Project: Building a home bar into a nook or wall. Why: “Home bars create a special place to store and serve drinks closer to the living space,” says New York architect James Wagman. “If the bar is near the action, the host can create wonderful drinks while socializing with guests and family.” Built-in bars don’t need to be limited to homes blessed with abundant square footage. A built-in bar can be the width of a single cabinet. Wagman installed this diminutive but mighty bar at the entrance to an apartment’s living room. Pocket doors come out of the wall to hide the unit when it’s not in use.
