Home Bars Are Making A Comeback

The days of the old "recreation room" bar may be gone, but home bars are as popular as ever. No longer highly visible with tall stools surrounding a focal point in the corner where plumbing was accessible, bars can now be located almost anywhere. This is largely due to building codes that reflect more accommodating materials and kits, such as drop ceilings, floating floors, and easy to install plumbing and electrical connections. 


Now modern bars are able to blend in as complementary components of larger entertainment centers, keeping sightlines clear for viewing big screens from every corner. So, if you're planning a home theater area in your home, you might want to consider making it more functional by adding a small bar area with a sink, an insulated ice chest, and a blender. It is sure to contribute to more functional use of your enhanced living space.

Your home's entranceway serves a number of important purposes by providing everything from front-door security to welcoming hospitality. It even has the function of helping you, your family and your guests get organized during arrival and departure. So it's worth asking how your front entrance might better accommodate both your practical and aesthetic needs.

For example, if your foyer floor is difficult to keep clean or is easily stained, consider replacing it with wall-to-wall ceramic or glazed clay tile. If your entrance area is small, you can add an illusion of space by installing mirrors on two sides, either on full-length closet doors or at eye level. Accent the mirrors wth strategically placed lighting. Limited closet storage can be expanded with custom shelving or possibly by removing closet doors to accommodate a bench and a coat tree. For more efficiency, and a statement of grandeur, add a tall antique foyer chair, complete with hooks, an umbrella rack and a built-inn hall mirror. 

Sometimes it only takes a little imagination to give you and your guests a more welcoming impression.
