Families and friends often congregate in the room that holds the bar, its most central, prominent section. It’s not just the high-top counter, high-top chairs or the bottles of high-quality liquor, either. It’s also the spot where parents can unwind after a challenging workday or kids can hide during a game of hide-and-seek. It’s the best spot to create unforgettable memories with friends, too. All those gatherings have the potential to create wear and tear. That’s why the bar typically needs a little love of its own. One of the best things about a bar makeover is that you can go as crazy or as simple as your heart desires. You can use 8x8 tiles, zellige tiles, cement-patterned tiles, pink marble tiles, Encaustic cement tiles and many more, and the room can be sports-themed or an elegant, vintage affair. Either way, we put together some tile ideas to help you get started with your bar makeover.
Trident Black
If you’re leaning towards a neutral palette for your bar, then the Trident Black Cement tile might be for you. Made with an eye-catching black and white pattern, this tile is an excellent way to add character while keeping things simple. The Trident Black tile also works well for small spaces. Traci Connell Interiors incorporated the tile in her small wet bar, adding a vintage element to the space.View this post on Instagram
Emerald Green Zellige
If patterns are not your style, then perhaps a splash of color is more your taste. The Emerald Green Zellige tile is a beautiful Moroccan tile that can bring many different design ideas to life. From a tropical oasis to an art-deco-themed bar, the tile has unique imperfections that will add lovely color variation to any design. For instance, Interior Styler and Blogger Kate used the Emerald Green Zellige to complement the black and white tile in her bar and vintage glassware for a fun speakeasy look.View this post on Instagram
Norwegian Rose Marble
Sometimes a deep, bold color is not the right splash. Luckily, there are a near-infinite number of tile shades. The soft hue of the Norwegian Rose Marble tile can give your bar the extra flare you desire without being on the dramatic side. This tile is also perfect if your space doesn’t have access to the best lighting because the tile doesn’t need much to brighten up the room.View this post on Instagram
Maya White
Lines are another avenue you can take to add some spice to your bar. JLV Creative used the Maya White Cement tile as the backsplash in her bar with gold accessories, giving the space a contemporary, luxurious element. The mesmerizing lines immediately draw your attention to the tiles, and the handcrafted tiles are one-of-a-kind.View this post on Instagram
Natural White Zellige
Sometimes the family bar needs something beyond new patterns, colors, and lines. In that case, a little bit of white highlighting the space’s organic features is an excellent route. For example, Micah & Co.’s used Riad’s Natural White Zellige tile to emphasize the bar’s natural wood cabinetry.No matter what changes you make, be sure to have fun with the process. And don’t be afraid to embrace your inner child and incorporate fun design elements into your family bar.View this post on Instagram
