Rénovation d'une pièce à vivre avec un nouvel espace BAR et une nouvelle cuisine adaptée aux besoins de ses occupants. Décoration choisie avec un style industriel accentué dans l'espace salle à manger, mais nous avons choisie une cuisine blanche afin de conserver une luminosité importante et de ne pas surcharger l'effet industriel.

Reforma quincho - salón de estar - comedor en vivienda unifamiliar. Al finalizar con la remodelación de su escritorio, la familia quedó tan conforme con los resultados que quiso seguir remodelando otros espacios de su hogar para poder aprovecharlos más. Aquí me tocó entrar en su quincho: espacio de reuniones más grandes con amigos para cenas y asados. Este les quedaba chico, no por las dimensiones del espacio, sino porque los muebles no llegaban a abarcarlo es su totalidad. Se solicitó darle un lenguaje integral a todo un espacio que en su momento acogía un rejunte de muebles sobrantes que no se relacionaban entre si. Se propuso entonces un diseño que en su paleta de materiales combine hierro y madera. Se propuso ampliar la mesada para mas lugar de trabajo, y se libero espacio de la misma agregando unos alaceneros horizontales abiertos, colgados sobre una estructura de hierro. Para el asador, se diseñó un revestimiento en chapa completo que incluyera tanto la puerta del mismo como puertas y cajones inferiores para más guardado. Las mesas y el rack de TV siguieron con el mismo lenguaje, simulando una estructura en hierro que sostiene el mueble de madera. Se incluyó en el mueble de TV un amplio guardado con un sector de bar en bandejas extraíbles para botellas de tragos y sus utensilios. Las mesas se agrandaron pequeñamente en su dimensión para que reciban a dos invitados más cada una pero no invadan el espacio. Se consiguió así ampliar funcionalmente un espacio sin modificar ninguna de sus dimensiones, simplemente aprovechando su potencial a partir del diseño.

Industrial Home Bar with Floating Shelves Ideas and Designs

A home bar is one of the ultimate indulgences for a homeowner. By no means essential but all the more satisfying for that very reason. Whether your home bar ideas would be having the boys round to watch the big match in a pub-style atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon, ‘going uptown’ to sip an espresso martini in your home cocktail bar in the loft, or hoping to recreate the vibe of an intimate speakeasy in your basement, an industrial style home bar is a treat that’s guaranteed to lift your spirits. A place where you are always guaranteed a seat.

How big should my urban home bar be?

The ideal style of your industrial home bar will depend on your lifestyle and entertaining habits as well as the amount of available space. If big groups come round regularly then you should consider dedicating a part of your living room or basement to a larger seating area – complete with a bar table, bar stools and wet bar section – to keep everyone suitably comfortable and merry. If TV is essential, check if there is a wall nearby that’s a big enough to mount it on without restricting anyone’s view. A key feature of home bar ideas is the storage – gleaming wine racks and low-lit glass shelves. Make sure you can afford these little delights after you have built the basic structure. Alternatively, if space is limited, a freestanding urban home cocktail bar would give you somewhere to prepare cocktails that is out of the way – in the corner of your dining room or under the stairwell for instance. Also, mirrored surfaces can help to create the illusion of space. Sketch the layout of the room in which you would like to place the bar and think about where all those bottles, cans and snacks are going to go. Then speak to either a home bar specialist about your home bar ideas, or to a joiner about adapting a vintage bookcase or creating something bespoke.

What style of home bar should I choose?

Try to play off the interior decor of the surrounding area. A kitsch Manhattan-inspired home cocktail bar will look out of place in a country cottage, for example. Similarly, a long white walnut home bar would jar against a bright red contemporary kitchen. That said, contrast might be something that you accentuate, not least through the choice of flooring, which would help to make your home bar stand out. Collect industrial home bar ideas in an Ideabook, settle upon a theme and then discuss the design with your home bar specialist or joiner. Lighting sets the mood in bars, particularly late at night, so pay special attention to placement, intensity and how you want your guests to feel. Dim underbar lighting creates a warm, intimate atmosphere, while spotlights brighten and energise.

Which industrial home bar accessories and facilities should I include?

This really does depend on how far you are willing to go. A home bar can replicate almost everything you see in your local, from running water and refrigerated wine cabinets to draught beer pumps and bespoke lighting and a sound systems. Again, the most important thing is to work with what’s there – available space and home decor. Is that black lizard effect leather flooring really going to go? How about the turquoise splashback? Do those flowers look out of place or will they help to soften up what’s fast becoming a man cave? There are several ways to make a home bar more visually interesting without spending big on fixtures and fittings. Select warehouse style furniture that’s comfortable but also sparks interest, such as salvaged chairs or a second-hand leather sofa. Add a touch of glitz and glamour through your choice of glassware, drinks trolley, ice bucket, shaker and spirit bottles if you want the home cocktail bar look. Then scatter a few curios around the bar – factory style ornaments, lamps, artwork, photos and travel mementos are great industrial home bar ideas to get the conversation started.
