Today we are featuring our style board of a Industrial/Retro Home Bar. I think its easy to get locked into a design that is safe and be disappointed later because your personality didn't push through. Its your house after all, why wouldn't you show who you are in every room.
I choose a playful industrial approach to a home bar that features pops of color, texture and playful art that speaks big in a space.
Below is the board...
Let's talk about the selections. First let's just talk about the amazing idea of the chalkboard cabinetry!
When I say let yourself speak in a space this is the perfect example. When I saw this design concept my heart just leaped. Its the perfect mix of playful sophistication. Do you see the pop up counter thats easy to put a chair in front of and have a glass of wine. This is perfect for apartment/loft living. You can have bold even in a small space. Check out the whole concept in this link to see how it fits in small spaces.
Traditional bars have connected cabinetry that when it has to be remodel because it becomes dated, it costs the owners a small fortune.
Why not set up a space with easy changing concepts to keep that hard working money in your pocket and the ability to switch one concept without a huge renovation. This is why I choose the freestanding industrial reclaimed table. The combination of black steel and organic wood texture makes the space sing. Not to mention this table converts to a shelving unit! What! Double purpose! Sold!
You can find this amazing table at the below link.
Lets talk about bar stools.
While I love me some industrial bar stools, the actual comfort of the stool leaves my tosh lacking.
So I choose to go a little retro with some Mid-Century Upholstered Bar Stools.
The fact that they are teal is just another playful pop in a space.
You can find these fun stools over at Chairish.
In any space the rugs are what really define and center a space.
I choose this Handwoven Black & Cream Wool rug.
It's texture alone makes the space warm up but add just a little bit of design and it's art on the floor.
You can find this rug over at Chairish.
Lighting is very important in a space. I choose two different ways to add lighting to a space.
First lets look at the Caged Edison Bulb lighting on a pulley system.
This is a perfect combination of vintage and industrial blended together.
Makes a statement without having to spend a fortune.
You can find those lights on Etsy. Lots of makers and easy to custom with a local shop in your area.
Instead of choosing Art for this space, I choose a lighted typography sign.
This adds a dim lighted feel and art all in one feel.
This two is a custom piece and can be made locally.

Finally there is the Atelier Chesterfield Sofa in a yummy mustard color.
This sofa is a beautiful and bold way to freshen up a space.
The traditional nailhead trim is a nice balance to the pop of Mustard color.

I hope you found some inspiration today and that your mind is working on how to redefine a space in your home.
