25 Luxury Basement Bar Designs That Will Make You Go Crazy

Consider yourself one of the extremely lucky ones if your home comes with a basement. It is a large area with basically the square footage of your entire house sans the walls. Most people avoid turning the basement into something more than just a storage space for less frequently used items or maybe as a laundry room. An empty open space basement holds so much potential. It can be transformed into a space that can be used by all the members of the family, like a playroom or just for the grownups, like a bar.

It’s nice to have a place where you can chill out and have a drink or two. Bars are such places, but sometimes you just want to have your drink in peace alone or with a couple of friends, in the comfort of your own home. It is something we all need from time to time. While you can socialize and relax in the dining room or living room, or even the kitchen, these rooms are missing that little something, that feeling of closeness and privacy that sitting and chatting at the bar offer.

Basement bars have been popular for a long time, but we can safely say that during the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve become the most coveted room to have in the house. Designing the bar can also be quite a challenge with how much space from the basement you wish to dedicate to the bar and which materials to use based on how much humidity there is in the basement and considering other factors as well.

With that said, let’s see some interesting basement bar designs in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes.

Rustic Barnyard Home Cinema Bar

Most regular bars have a TV so that visitors can watch a game while drinking their drinks. It is a feature we’ll be seeing a lot in our list, and this one is very convenient since the bar counter is facing towards the home-cinema area, instead of the usual way, towards the bar. This bartop is without a bottom, like a shelf, giving more legroom and opening up the smaller space, and it’s made from a single slab of lumber, like a wood beam, same as those placed on the ceiling, to complete that rustic feel.

Black Wood And Marble Countertops

Black cabinets with block panel doors are a classic look that goes well with marble countertops, which are easy to maintain and last forever. This bar has a U-shape area with double countertops for the barstools and a lot of storage space for all the glasses and drinks. The TV this time is inside the bar, mounted on the wall for a better watching experience.

Green Tufted Bar

This is a design you don’t see very often, both in materials and color, but it is an awesome idea if your looking for a vintage, yet unusual look for your basement bar. Small tufted upholstered green bar in a crescent shape with matching upholstered chairs may not be fancy or elegant, but it sure is eye-catching.

Three-Tiered Curved Bar

This is certainly one of the more luxurious designs you can find. A curved bar with mosaic brown-toned stone and marble countertop on all three levels, with rope light illuminating the outer edge. The studded leather bar stools are also an excellent touch, that goes well with the gray shelved walls, contrasting the dark brown cabinets.

Under The Sea Bar

Sea and waves give you calmness and peace. So, if you want to feel calm and relaxed whenever you enter your basement, this is a great idea to look at. The under-the-sea design and a built-in aquarium paired with water-blue lights can give you the most loving seaside impression. It’s also a great idea for those of you that enjoy snorkeling and diving into deep blue waters. Why not enjoy it right there at your home?

Mini Kitchen Bar

If you have this small corner wall right next to your basement door, and you don’t know how to make it more beautiful, why not use it wisely? You’ll however need a cooking/drinking/dining area in your new basement. Install a mini kitchen bar right on this wall and make it the most used space in the house.

Play with the lights and with the tones of gold, rose gold, and bronze to get the perfect look and the perfect golden feel whenever you enter this special place.

Corner Bar

Basements are full of hidden corners and areas that are not really easy to use completely. So, why not build a small cozy bar in one of these corners? You can fit in a small sink, a tiny dishwasher, and some shelves. The bar stool can be put on both sides of the corner to create more room for sitting around and not stealing your space to make cocktails and poor some beer to your friends.

All Shades of Grey

Grey is a really versatile color. It can vary from dark beige grey to shiny silver tones. And if you wisely combine them all together, you can get a perfectly light and bright basement bar. The colors will brighten up the space and the booze will make you feel wonderful.

Bars are usually famous for the big bars. But, maybe a big bar is not suitable for your basement.
