9. Crafty Corner
This Austin, Texas, corner bar by April Interiors has a lot going for it. A custom glass wine cellar stands to the left. To the right is a pass-through for serving family and friends in a TV lounge. There’s a beverage fridge, bar sink and ice maker. Plus, it’s got style. Brass sconces wash the fully tiled wall, bringing out texture. Light wood shelves, flooring and wall detailing warms up the look. And navy blue cabinets anchor the space in color.

8. Tower Power
This bar in a Denver home by StudioHOFF Architecture sits close enough to the kitchen to keep guests feeling like part of the action but far enough away from the work triangle to keep them out of the cook’s way.
A cabinet tower in a sophisticated black paint stores liquor bottles and glasses. Glass-front doors allow guests to quickly see what they need. Light wood drawers and floating shelves soften the look.

6. Tall and Handsome
In this Austin, Texas, bar nook, Blueberry Jones Design mixed marble slab countertops and backsplash with dark walls and light wood to create a handsome look in a compact setup. Fluted cabinet fronts and diagonal veining in the backsplash help emphasize the height of the area rather than the slim width.

A small bar doesn’t have to skimp on style. In fact, it’s a great place to splurge on materials like tile and cabinetry that might be too costly in a larger project.
Jamie Olivarez of Pink Door Designs created a compelling compact beverage station in this Katy, Texas, home by taking a pretty patterned tile from a dolomite stone countertop all the way to the ceiling. Hunter green cabinets (Billiard Green by Sherwin-Williams) delivers a punch of color, while brass hardware and floating wood shelves add warmth.
