The Perfect Space for Entertaining this Holiday Season

With the holidays comes the chance to host your family and friends in your home. For many, it is the perfect opportunity to enjoy good food and company with holiday cheer, catch up over a glass of wine and for some, exchange gifts.


Yet not every home has a convenient space conducive to entertaining people, especially when the guest list grows. So, whether you prefer a small, intimate gathering or a larger party, we can help you design the perfect
custom bar or wine room for every type of occasion.


Benefits of a Custom Bar or Wine Room

  • Adds Value to Your Home - As more and more people come to enjoy craft beers, favourite wines from around the world or simply grow their liquor collections, the addition of a custom bar provides the perfect space for storage and entertaining. Even wine rooms are growing in popularity, making both a valuable addition in terms of property value. Consider a custom tasting bar where people can enjoy sipping a drink or two at an elegant bar, with a beautiful countertop and seating. Add a mirror, full height backsplash or unique tile to suit the room's theme. a sink, a mini fridge, backlighting or shelving to display your favourite bottles can add an extra layer of functionality. The better the millwork and installation, the more your beverage area will increase the value of your home.
  • Display Your Wine Collection - Whether you like to have a few bottles of your favourite wine on hand or are a serious collector, it makes a statement to have a prominent display space for your bottles. Include directional lighting for the perfect ambiance, custom temperature regulation and shelving that allows the bottles to rest correctly.
  • Extra Storage for Liquor and Glasses - Of course, there is a functional aspect to installing a bar or wine room. Not every bottle needs to be on display, and you will need places for empties, utensils, glasses and perhaps even a dishwasher by the sink. If the upper cabinets or shelves are for ambiance and display, the lowers can be geared more towards practicality yet still have beautiful door fronts and hardware to complete the look.
  • Adds a Luxurious Feel to the Home - adding a custom beverage station has an air of sophistication and a certain level of prestige. Whether it is designed around cocktail hour, bartending with flare, or simply pouring an elegant glass, these areas speak volumes about lifestyle and enjoying the finer things in life.
  • Great for Entertaining - For some, the ability to entertain guests while relaxing in the comfort of their home is ideal. Others love the ability to host elaborate cocktail parties of every size. Entertaining over the holidays with a custom bar or wine room allows you to accommodate more people. They elevate the experience for you as the host and your guests, allowing you to do more than pour a glass and hand it out.
