Complete Home Bar Remodeling & Installation
RSI’s home bar design process combines creative vision with technical expertise. Every project is planned with the same level of care as a kitchen or bath remodel, ensuring the finished space is both beautiful and highly functional.
RSI’s home bar design services are ideal for homeowners looking to add a built-in entertaining space, upgrade a basement or bonus room, or create a cohesive extension of their kitchen or living area.
Personalized Planning & Bar Design
Every custom home bar begins with a collaborative design process. Our designers take time to understand how you plan to use the space, whether it’s casual entertaining, hosting large gatherings, or creating a personal retreat. Your designer will factor in your design preferences and inspiration, how the bar will be used day to day, your home’s available space and layout constraints, and the overall project scope and budget goals. The result is a custom home bar design that feels intentional, cohesive, and uniquely yours.
Designed for Function, Style, & Entertaining
Great home bar design balances aesthetics with usability. RSI carefully plans layouts that support entertaining while keeping everything within easy reach. We consider everything, including smart storage for bottles, glassware, wine, and bar tools; seating placement and comfortable clearances; traffic flow for guests and hosts; and proper bar heights and work zones. Just like a kitchen, thoughtful planning ensures your bar is impressive for guests as well as efficient, durable, and easy to use every day.
High-Quality Materials & Custom Features
RSI specializes in bespoke home bars built with premium materials and tailored features. Your bar can be uniquely yours with custom cabinetry and millwork; countertop options including stone, quartz, wood, or specialty surfaces; built-in appliances like beverage refrigerators, wine coolers, and ice makers; and integrated lighting, open shelving, backsplashes, and accent finishes. Material selections are curated to complement the surrounding space while delivering durability and long-term performance.
Coordinated Installation Services
RSI provides full, turn-key home bar installation services. From cabinetry and countertops to appliances and finishes, we coordinate all aspects of the project to keep everything running smoothly. If you already have a contractor, our team will collaborate directly to ensure proper sequencing, clear communication, and consistent quality.
Why Choose RSI for Your Home Bar Design
Decades of Design & Remodeling Expertise
With decades of experience in custom interior remodeling, RSI understands that home bars require more than surface-level design. Plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, and spatial planning must all work together seamlessly. Our team brings the technical knowledge needed to create bars that are both visually striking and built correctly from the inside out.
Specialists in Custom, Built-In Spaces
Home bars share many of the same complexities as kitchens, with custom cabinetry, appliances, lighting, and utility coordination. Our kitchen and bath experience allows us to anticipate details other designers may overlook, such as smarter layouts, better material choices, and superior craftsmanship for home bars. Every design balances visual impact with everyday usability, ensuring your bar looks and functions as good years from now as it does day one.
Dedicated Designers & Project Management
With RSI, you work directly with professional designers, not sales representatives. Your designer provides hands-on guidance through layout planning, finish selection, and feature customization. Dedicated project managers oversee timelines, coordinate trades, and manage quality control, giving you confidence from design through final installation.
Local Knowledge You Can Trust
RSI is deeply rooted in the St. Louis and Columbia, MO, markets, with an understanding of local homes, architectural styles, and permitting requirements. This regional expertise ensures projects are designed with local expectations, timelines, and craftsmanship standards in mind.
