Gather Round

Not every home has a dedicated cocktail lounge—but that doesn’t mean you can’t create one. This area was originally an undefined space in the basement of this year’s HGTV Dream Home, located between the stairwell and a hallway leading to two bedrooms. Designer Brian Patrick Flynn realized the potential once he and his team spent a bit of time in the space, leading him to install a wet bar and an inviting mid-mod seating area.

The Main Ingredient

If you have an under-counter wine fridge, you have yourself a bona fide bar. This stainless steel model has fully extendable shelves for easy reach.

Coastal Chic

Neutral finishes and a contemporary point of view are the key to making this space feel sophisticated. Subtle gray cabinets with black hardware are on trend, and the backsplash is a highly textured, shiny white clay tile laid in a grid rather than a traditional offset brick pattern. The whale-themed artwork in this room is a nuanced touch that helps this bar area feel like a real piece of the waterfront.

Behind the Scenes

The side view of the room gives you a peek at the lounge’s plush tufted chairs, whitewashed floors, bar sink, and matte black Esque™ faucet by Delta® Faucet. The faucet’s Touch2O® Technology allows you to turn water on and off with a single touch, making cocktail prep much easier.
