- Traditional Bars, pay homage to the traditional English pub. With wood panelling hand or spray painted in muted tones or the earthy simplicity of a natural wood finish highlighting the grain and texture of the timber. This style really is a ‘home pub’ with open glass display shelving for optics, low lit lighting this timeless classic can be dressed up or down with vintage pieces.
- Modern Bars are unique, functional sleek designs that are not based on conformity. The shape and size of your bar should not limit its wow factor, wave goodbye to the drinks trolley and unveil a contemporary home wine bar. Modern bars work extremely well when manufactured in gloss or matt finishes, spotlights brighten and energize the space whilst metallic or mirrored splashbacks reflect light beautifully off the handle less undercounter storage, alternatively concertina style doors can be closed off when not in use or opened up to create a drinks prep area.
- Designer Bars, are exactly that we try to offer something unique that will blow your guests away but at the same time look intimate and inviting. The aim is to beautify the bar in a way that is relevant to your lifestyle and usage. We aim to design, manufacture and install a dynamic showstopper of a home bar.
