Our Vintage Charm-Inspired Home Bar Remodel

Feb 7

A home bar isn’t just for mixing drinks—it’s a fun little spot that adds some personality to your space. We just gave ours a refresh with custom details, a little luxury, and some cute decor. If you’re thinking about sprucing up yours, stick around—I’m sharing all the details!

Custom L-Shaped Shelving for Maximum Storage & Style

One of the biggest upgrades we made was installing custom L-shaped shelves. These shelves not only optimize storage but also create a visually appealing display for glassware, cocktail essentials, and decorative accents. In our bar, the crisp white shelves contrast beautifully with the warm wood tones and vintage accents, creating a balanced and inviting look. The use of vertical space allowed us to showcase unique pieces while keeping everything organized.

Granite Countertops in Typhoon Bordeaux

A major focal point of our home bar remodel is the new granite countertop in Typhoon Bordeaux. This luxurious stone features rich swirls of gold, cream, burgundy, and gray, adding depth and warmth to the space. Granite is not only stunning but also highly durable, making it a practical choice for a bar where spills and high usage are common. The countertop provides the perfect base for our bar essentials, like a vintage-inspired cocktail set and a textured bowl for added charm.

A Custom Wine Rack for Sophisticated Organization

To elevate the space further, we incorporated a custom wine rack seamlessly into the cabinetry. The warm wood tones of the rack complement the cabinets, providing a cohesive and elegant look. Whether you're an avid wine collector or just enjoy having a few bottles on hand, a dedicated storage solution like this keeps everything organized while adding a refined touch.

Cabinet Hardware Upgrade: The Small Details That Matter

Sometimes, the smallest changes make the biggest impact. We swapped out the old cabinet hardware for vintage gold knobs that complement the new bar design. The updated hardware ties together the overall aesthetic, adding a fresh, polished look to the cabinetry. The combination of the wood grain cabinets and vintage hardware gives the space a charming feel.

Vintage Thrifted Decor Meets Modern Elegance

To give the bar a unique, character-filled feel, we carefully curated a mix of vintage thrifted decor and modern pieces. Highlights include vintage brass candlesticks, an antique clock, and retro artwork that give the space a sense of history and personality. The decor is balanced with modern glassware and sleek bar tools, creating a cohesive and stylish blend. A vintage-inspired record player adds a nostalgic touch, while greenery and textured ceramics bring a natural, organic element to the design.
