Basement Bar Ideas St Cloud MN

There is a surge in the use of basements as a living space in many homes today. Families are finding that a successful basement remodeling project is a phenomenal way to improve the comfort, versatility, and value of any home. It doesn’t matter if its primary use is a family area or the infamous man cave; basements are a great place to consider for your next home project. One popular choice for a basement remodel is the installation of a home bar.

Basement Bar Ideas St Cloud MN

Picture for a moment coming home from a long day at work; you are looking forward to sitting in your recliner in your basement. Now, imagine the weekend as you entertain friends; they follow you to your basement for the festivities. Or, picture a quiet evening home with a loved one. You snuggle up together in your basement. A custom basement bar is an attribute that enhances these and more special moments you enjoy in your home.

A home bar is extremely functional. It will add needed storage space. And, while there are many other great reasons to install a bar, remember that it’s a great investment adding character and appeal. This is helpful should you ever decide to sell your home.

Bones of the Bar:

There are some basic attributes that most bars share.

  • Typically it will be the standard height of 42 inches making standard bar stools the right height also.
  • A good rule of thumb for the overhang is that it extends at least 8 inches. This provides comfort when sitting at the bar.
  • The width of a bar should be between 16 to 20 inches. Any longer is usually wasted space.
  • Using molding in your bar construction provides an armrest and gives your bar a more finished look.
  • It’s wise to build your top with a drip edge to prevent any spills from hitting the floor.

Some will also build their bars with additional features that make the home bar more like a professional bar. This includes a drink rail and a foot rail. Occasionally, a lower counter will also be built providing a great place for a drop sink; however this does make the project more complex.

Work Your Plan:

Building a bar takes a great deal of planning to provide the best results. Because of the space considerations and intricate measurements, some build a life size cardboard model of the bar. However, it is always recommended you consult a professional.

It’s important to consider the look of your bar also. Depending on your taste, you may choose from a massive selection of materials including wood species, stain color, and molding shape. Even metals and stone are becoming popular bar materials. A good recommendation is to use samples of the materials and look at them in your bar space to give you an idea of the final results.
