Next Kitchen

Rushing to the clubs on weekends sounds good, but dragging the club at home sounds better, right?

It’s not just me saying it, almost the whole of the UK agrees with me. Kitchen trends 2021 UK is evidence. Since the breakdown of COVID, people have become even more aware of self-entertainment options. Lockdowns played a toll on us. We do not want to take chances, we do not want to be stuck at home, counting ceilings, do we?

According to a recent study, Home bars are now more significant than new kitchens, as 1 in 13 UK homeowners revealed, that they plan to add bar tops in homes by the end of 2022. 

7 per cent of the 2,000 homeowners polled said they would turn their ideal home bar into reality and would even set aside roughly £14,000 for the renovation. A sum much higher than what homeowners are keen to invest in new porch designs, home gyms, and renovating kitchen.

Where to Install the Home Bar? 

The shape and style of your home will determine where to put one, but there are numerous possibilities to think about, including having one custom-built into your basement or incorporating a hidden bar into your kitchen designs. 

Can You Use Kitchen Tops?

Absolutely yes. In fact, Granite, marble, and other stone worktop materials make the best bar countertops. A bar may offer a lively and entertaining aspect to any setting for entertaining visitors but it can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your residence or any business place. When choosing the ideal bar countertop, you have a variety of options, including laminate, ceramic tiling, granite, marble, and even stainless steel. Each material has unique advantages, such as heat and scratch resistance, mould resistance, and unmatched big-time aesthetic appeal.

Luxury Home Bar 

You'll be relieved to learn that virtually any property can accommodate a luxury home bar if that's what you're looking for. The easiest way to do this is to build your own stone worktop out of natural elements, like exotic stone, whether real or imitation and pair it with slender bar stools and glass pendant lighting. The worktops can be used as a wet bar. Different stones have their own specialities, which are mentioned briefly below:

Stylishly Rich Marble Bar Tops

If you want to give your bar a minimalist appearance, marble is a fantastic option as well. It's a wonderful addition to raise the value and aesthetic appeal of your living area because of its delicate veins, serene appearance, and relaxing colours. But, seal your marble countertops well if you are going to pick them for use as alcoholic bar tops because marble is naturally porous. 

Versatile and Easy Maintenance Quartz Bar Tops

Unlike some other countertops, quartz is simple to maintain and doesn't require any specific cleaners or maintenance techniques. Additionally, it doesn't need to be sealed, so there is no regular maintenance to plan. Because of this, quartz countertop can endure years of use in a home bar as well as commercial clubs and pubs without needing to be replaced.

Durable Granite Bar Tops

Great material option for bar tops, granite is full of character, stunning and remarkably resilient.

Characters and Depth with Onyx Stone Bar Tops

Onyx countertops have rare, remarkable natural beauty, which is one of its main benefits. Every slab has a unique colour composition that gives the worktops built from it a wonderful shine. Due to its calcium composition, it will etch when exposed to acids. However, regular sealing will eliminate this issue.

The Delicacy with Slate for Home Bar

Simple to cut into thin sheets, slate can be used as a countertop surface, has good heat resistance, and only slightly absorbs moisture, even when exposed to freezing liquids. Slate is more durable and less porous than granite or marble, making it less susceptible to stains and etching from your alcoholic mixes for your bar tops.
