If you’re missing pre-pandemic meetings with your friends at the local coffee shop or grabbing Friday-night drinks at the bar, we feel you. While socializing in your favorite café or bar is still not the greatest idea for a while, that doesn’t mean you have to give up your caffeine habits or taste for a good drink!
We’ll toast to this chic dry bar at home with our Pike Peak Thassos White & Bardiglio Marble Mosaic Tile! Natural materials, a neutral palette, and furniture with a weathered feel can totally pull off the rustic style for your own home bar.
Choose backsplash tiles in soothing colors with a classic stone look or wood effect to complete the look of your farmhouse style bar! The subtle geometric pattern and neutral hues of Nova Hex Wooden Beige Marble Tile is the perfect touch to a farmhouse style coffee bar.
When you have space above your backsplash, consider adding wood shelving, or install a utensil bar to hang your favorite mugs from the hooks! We love how Tribeca Blanco planks add a ton of rustic charm and character when installed on a bar front. Add some wooden or wicker accents on the bar, even a touch of greenery to improve the rustic feel of your design.
This look mimics the ever-popular shiplap style, making it a perfect accent addition over your in-home bar!
You can even add a little California casual to your kitchen decor with our Geo Square Wooden Beige Marble Mosaic Tile - this mid-century modern coffee bar is the Combine cooling white tones with soothing blues to bring a relaxing design into your bar area.
You can also opt for brilliant purples, yellows and deep greens for other Mediterranean feeling tile backsplash designs! We love the idea of starting a day with the relaxing vibes this tile brings to space with the smell of fresh-brewed coffee! Luckily, you can create a beautiful basement bar that will shine like a star with the Golden Arrow Marble Mosaic Tile! A basement bar can be a chance to let loose with out of the box design ideas you may prefer not to use in everyday areas of your home, like the kitchen or living room! Accentuate your bar design with the zellige feel of Mallorca Black ceramic square tiles on the walls, and then pair with crystal accents and brass detailing for a refined vintage space. Check out our post on ‘How to Peel and Stick Tile for a DIY Remodel’ to find out how easy it is to install one.
We love the subtle detail that our Oriental Flower Carrara & Wooden Beige Waterjet Mosaic Tile adds to a classic wet bar or butler’s pantry backsplash, creating a timeless design element while adding a hint of pattern to elevate white cabinets and stone countertops. Add some special lighting, set the stereo system, and make sure your shelves are fully stocked with drinks! The porcelain tiles have a wood-look finish and stunning ‘Kintsugi’ pattern that mimics the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery to create a unique design. This Carrara & Oriental White Bouquette Marble Mosaic Tile is a fun way to decorate any place in your home, but it makes for an especially creative splash as a breakfast bar backsplash!
The white glass pattern gives you plenty of room to play with bold accent colors when you choose retro-style decorating! The best materials for a tiled countertop are ones that can stand up to heavy traffic, like ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone.
Swivel bar stools make it easy for people to rotate and enjoy great conversations. Whether you prefer an old-school record player or want to pair your phone to your wireless speaker, get it all set up before your first shindig.
If you can trust yourself and your guests with stemmed drinkware, hang your wine and champagne glasses upside down from the bar if you can. If you doubt they’d still be upright by the end of the night, opt for stemless, egg-shaped glasses for the wine and bubbly. If you’re on a budget, start with a couple of your favorite liquors, and grow your bar from the basics as time goes on. We hope you were inspired by our different tile bar ideas and feel ready to create your own personal spot to sip drinks and hang out at home!
