Home bar design
Design at a home bar comes down to the surfaces people touch and the light they sit in. The bar top materials comparison weighs wood, stone, quartz, concrete, metal, and laminate against citrus, spirits, and water, which a bar top meets every time it's used. The lighting guide covers pendant heights, warm color temperatures, shelf lighting, and dimming.
For the feel of the whole room, what makes the perfect bar looks at surface, light, ice, tools, seating, and sound together. If you're still deciding where the bar goes and how big it should be, Gray Kangaroo's build guides come first.
