Customise Your Own Home Bar – Indoors or Out!
Over the last year, we’ve all spent a lot more time at home
than usual. Among all the challenges, it’s also been an opportunity to make the
most of the sanctuaries that we call our homes. The Pinnacle Works carpentry West Sussex teams have been hard at work creating bespoke
timber creations for properties across West Sussex. Our number one requested
design? Home bars!
Here we’ll run through some of our favourite ideas, and
inspirations for unique home bars that bring a sense of fun and family to any
property.
For help with bringing your imagination to life, or
designing a bar that reflects the style and decor of your house or apartment,
please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
A Social Summer Is
Coming!
As the weather slowly warms, and the first green shoots of
spring appear, the promise of a glorious summer is on the horizon.
Nobody yet knows quite what that will look like this year;
but with hopes of pandemic restrictions lifting, we’re all anticipating social
occasions, warm hugs and laid back BBQ days enjoying the sunshine, friends and
family. Garden projects have increased by almost 50% during the pandemic!
Now is a great time to think about new planting, and
restoring joy to your outdoor spaces after a long, cold winter. Along with
cleaning off the grill, dusting off the paddling pool and getting the lawn back
into great shape, installing a high quality, timber bar will transform your
home into an entertainment venue like no other.
Outdoor home bars can be as large or small as you like, with
tailored designs to fit neatly into any unused corners of your outdoor space
and give it fresh purpose.
Customised finishes mean that, if you can visualise it, we
can create it!
High-quality carpentry creates home bars to withstand the
elements.
Bring an injection of colour, style and energy to empty
patios – think twinkling lights, Hawaiian leis, or slick, pared-back
contemporary city styling.
Staying in is the new going out; and whether you’re thinking
of colour blocks and martini glasses or an all-out summertime fiesta, the
skilled Pinnacle Works carpentry team can build it.
When you’ve got an idea about your bar’s theme and position,
the next consideration is lighting. We have a range of suggestions from
previous designs!
There are limitless options, and it’s well worth looking at
other home bars since well-placed lighting can add ambience, fun, mood and
atmosphere – and mean you’ll be out enjoying the fresh air long after the sun
has set.
Fairy lights are a traditional outdoor bar lighting option,
with a calming effect and multiple battery-operated options.
Wired light bulbs bring a sense of cool loft lighting, and
can be bright and welcoming or dimmed and relaxing depending on your event.
Outdoor LED lights are an excellent solution for
eco-friendliness and require very little installation time or running costs.
Hardwired lighting is available through the Pinnacle team,
creating a long-term outdoor lighting solution suitable for year-round use.
Indoor Home Bar Designs
Of course, your entertaining doesn’t have to be reserved for
the garden; and we’re all well aware that the British summer doesn’t make a lot
of guarantees regarding the weather…
Through our established team of joiners and carpenters,
Pinnacle can design home bars for kitchen and living areas as well as the
outdoors. There are lots of great benefits to opting for a home bar design:
Space-saving entertainment area, which can slot into even
tiny places.
Make the most of the footprint of your home by utilising
every corner.
A cost-effective option, and suitable for kitchens, living
rooms, conservatories and outdoor spaces.
Bespoke designs create a bar that aligns with the decor and
theme of your home.
Our recommendations for the highest quality materials,
finishes and construction methods are always adapted to the type of bar you
would like, and where in your home this is to be fitted.
When you think of a home bar, it’s essential to understand
that this doesn’t have to be a typical open top, rectangular construction.
Timber is a versatile, natural material with few
limitations!
Covered bars can be used year-round as a dynamic outdoor
space.
Weatherproof roofing protects your bar area whatever the
weather.
Adding fire pits, seating areas, grills or an outdoor
kitchen makes an outdoor bar so much more than an occasional entertaining
space!
You can use trellises to encourage climbers to grow, blending
your outdoor bar in with your landscaping.
We have created timber outdoor home bars with multiple
functionalities; from outdoor games spaces for kids to relaxing lounge areas to
sit down with a good book and enjoy the fresh air.
Canopies and roofs are an excellent idea if you’re looking
for a cost-effective home bar that will add value to your quality of living,
and allow you to spend time outside, even in the rain. Adding quality lighting,
soft furnishings and perhaps even an outdoor music system truly creates a new
living space – that can increase your garden’s usability and improve the
saleable value of your property.
Outdoor Home Bar
Design
There are all sorts of ways to adapt your outdoor home bar
to your home:
Bars on wheels are a convenient storage option and can be
easily packed away in the shed or garage when not in use.
Plant stands on bars add shelving for all of your barware
and provide plenty of room to decorate your bar with some greenery to tie in
with your garden.
Buffet stands or tiled bars are long-wearing and perfect for
entertaining.
Using blackboards or blackboard paint is an excellent way of
creating a unique bar menu for special occasions or themed family evenings.
Building a bar into a deck area can transform its uses, and
be a fantastic spot for summer evening dinners.
If you’re considering an outdoor home bar, aren’t sure of
