Bars as Home Inspiration

If anyone else is also a fan of How I Met Your Mother, you will probably remember this scene:

Although I will probably never open a bar, that doesn't mean that I don't have a few ideas stored away, just in case.

It has become increasingly popular to draw inspiration from industrial kitchens for home kitchens and I think you could also get some amazing ideas from bars and restaurant interiors.

I came across a post on Gracias Madre restaurant in West Hollywood on decor8 a couple of weeks ago. I have mentioned my love for tiles before, and this restaurant fulfils all my tile fantasies with their bar (pictured above).

We have featured the bar (pictured above) at the Watsons Bay Beach Club before, but again, there is so much that I like about this bar. I would love to bring some of that colour into a beach house design.

What are your favourite bars? Have you ever thought about incorporating elements of their design into your home?
