9. Luxurious Lounge
Swathed in dark hues and appointed with plush furnishings, this high-end lounge in a Chicago suburb offers a soothing place for unwinding with a drink. DGI Design x Build brought in a backsplash that’s both dramatic and practical. It’s made of porcelain to withstand errant whiskey splashes. Mirrors behind the bar add dimension, but their gray tint helps take the edge off.

8. Perk Place
Slim Shaker-style cabinets with vertical bar pulls help visually elongate this coffee bar in a North Carolina kitchen by Stephanie Calderon Interiors. White paint and paneling form a crisp, clean backdrop for the quartersawn oak cabinetry, and open shelves make mugs, sugar and the coffee machine easy to spot even for the sleepy-eyed. The counter can double as a serving station for breakfast, and a beverage fridge can put milk and juice within easy reach.

7. Artful Arch
Design Studio West gave this San Diego County home bar the art gallery treatment. Below a graceful arch, built-in lighting highlights a dramatic marbled backdrop. The wine rack and carafe have the feel of sculptures, and colorful bottles sparkle like jewels on their open shelves in the wood-and-white design. The bar sits behind a generously sized kitchen island and just off the living room in an open plan, making it convenient for entertaining.

6. Love of Country
Done up in blue, cream and white, this beverage station in rural Summerfield, North Carolina, has a country-fresh feel. Kindred Interior Studios used Shaker-style lower cabinetry and glass-front upper cabinetry to help the narrow space look clean, open and decorative all at once. The items on display hew to the color palette, radiating cohesion rather than clutter. Two elements add interest without busyness: subtly varied backsplash tiles in a herringbone pattern and layered crown molding that creates a tray ceiling effect.

Diagonal shelf separators increase wine bottle storage and add flair to this home bar in Nashville, Tennessee, tucked into a butler’s pantry. Sebring Design Build created a casually elegant space with light wood, a marbled backsplash and counter and glass-front cabinetry for easily spotting drinkware and more. Gleaming bar pulls and accessories enliven the look, and a beverage fridge sits conveniently at hand.

4. Classy Closet
Imparfait Design Studio reversed the home’s entry stairs to create this gem of a walk-in bar closet in Greenview, Illinois, for a couple with children. Its urbane style, with deep gray cabinetry and walls, a glam retro ceiling light and golden shelf brackets and cabinet hardware, belies the suburban village location. Glass open shelves, a counter-to-ceiling mirror and a tall window keep the dark look from feeling closed in.

3. Casual Corner
In a greater Boston home, three elements tie this bar area to the kitchen around the corner: walnut cabinets and shelves, nickel-gap shiplap paneling and a gray quartz countertop. But Granite State Cabinetry and Orchard Hill Interiors gave the space stand-alone style and practical touches of its own. Downlight sconces aid in countertop tasks, and a sink adds a secondary place for rinsing.

2. Moody in Blues
Rich blue color drenching, even on the ceiling, gives this lounge in a Denver home an intimate speakeasy feel. Rivington Marx Interiors created depth in the monotone design with layers of texture, including a snakeskin-patterned wallcovering, velvet-upholstered chairs and custom dragon-themed throw pillows. Appropriately, the focal point is a hutch bar — chinoiserie-inspired, with an intricate hand-painted scene and elegant gold-rimmed glasses that pick up on the chandelier and other warm metal elements.

1. Sensational Station
Storage aplenty, a spacious counter and a sink make this Michigan home bar, the most-saved beverage station of those recently uploaded to Houzz, a versatile entertaining asset. BAC Design Group centered the beverage fridge for easy reaching from either end and used glass-front cabinets with shelves set at different heights for drink-specific glasses.

Glossy white Moroccan zellige tile brings this home bar to life without disturbing the calm vibe of the blue cabinetry. The color palette is a fitting choice for the home’s Kiawah Island, South Carolina, location. Pale wood open shelves nod to driftwood while maintaining a refined feel. House of Nomad used marble sconces and golden cabinet hardware to elevate the look to elegance and included a tall beverage fridge for convenience. Note how bottles and glasses are placed on only the lower two shelves for easy access and an airier look.
