Best Beverage Bars for Your Kitchen Design
Are you planning a stylish kitchen remodel to cater for parties as well as everyday life? A beverage bar is the perfect example of how a corner of your kitchen can transform your whole kitchen design, making it practical and on trend. What are the best beverage bar design ideas? It depends on the size of your kitchen and your personal needs. Our guide can help you decide on the best beverage bar for your kitchen remodel.
A small kitchen design can incorporate a beverage bar when needed. Simply have countertop space to arrange glasses and drinks on so guests can look after themselves when you host a gathering. The more space you have available, the more you can add to this area to make it a permanent fixture. A standalone beverage bar with dedicated sinks, dishwashers, fridges, coffee machines and storage make the ultimate beverage center for your kitchen design. Prioritize what works for your lifestyle and incorporate it into your next kitchen remodel.
The best time to think about a beverage bar is at the planning stage of your kitchen remodel to ensure it is positioned perfectly, away from the busiest part of your kitchen. If you have two islands, choose the one designated for entertaining to install your beverage bar as the other will be too busy with food prep. Otherwise, decide on a section of countertop in your main kitchen layout to set it up. Pipes and wires might need to be routed to this area, so the earlier you plan for this the better. Custom built storage solutions also need to be designed for your beverage bar. If you have more space for this in an adjoining room such as a walk-in pantry, then install your bar there with all the extras you can add to it.
These extras include such luxuries as a wine rack, built-in coffee machine, illuminated glass-front cabinets, music speakers for parties, carbonated water faucets or ice makers. In addition to having a refrigerator and dishwasher, your beverage station will be the place to go for a fuss-free coffee or celebratory cocktail.
Whether it’s cocktails, beer or wine you love, you can create a custom beverage bar for your favorite drink. Open shelving and down-lit display cabinets along with wine racks, bowls and hooks organize everything you need to for your beverage of choice in a stylish and practical way. Your kitchen design expert can work with you to design exactly what you need.
We all love a good cup of coffee, so why not go for it when planning your beverage bar and be your own barista? A built-in coffee machine means you never have to fill it with water. Beans, grinders and all the tools you need can be stored in custom designed drawers or cabinets along with latte glasses, americano mugs and delicate espresso cups. If tea is your thing then add in leaves, pots and strainers along with a china tea set. Keep hot chocolate at hand for the kids along with a generous supply of mini marshmallows. A dedicated fridge can keep milk, syrup, lemons and other hot drink requirements close at hand.
