A custom wooden bar combines atmosphere, character and practical use. Wood adds warmth to an interior and works equally well for a home bar, restaurant, hotel, shop, office or reception area.

A scaffold wood bar has a robust and natural appearance. The visible grain and character of the timber suit industrial interiors as well as warmer contemporary spaces.

Anyone searching for a bespoke bar usually needs more than a standard counter. Width, height, depth, circulation, seating, storage, appliances and worktop space all influence the ideal layout.

A wooden home bar creates a permanent place for drinks, wine evenings and entertaining friends. Depending on the room, it can sit against a wall, fit into a corner or stand freely in the space.

A bespoke home bar can be kept compact or developed into a complete setup with stools, refrigeration, sink, storage, lighting and a matching back bar.

For a games room, man cave or entertainment room, a custom home bar can be combined with darker finishes, metal, display cabinets and atmospheric lighting.

Under a covered terrace, a wooden bar keeps drinks, glasses and accessories close at hand. Depending on the project, it can include preparation space, a sink or refrigeration.

For a restaurant, hotel, café, canteen, office or showroom, a custom commercial bar can be designed around workflow, storage requirements and the visual identity of the space.

A custom wooden counter can form part of a bar or be used independently in a shop, showroom, reception, hotel or hospitality interior.

A bar with sink makes the working area considerably more practical. Glasses can be rinsed immediately and water is available exactly where it is needed.

A bar with sink and tap requires a considered layout so that the washing area, worktop, appliances and storage work logically together.

A bar with refrigerator keeps drinks and supplies immediately accessible. Depending on the model, refrigeration can be integrated below the worktop or within the bar front.

A bar with built-in refrigerator needs to take exact dimensions, ventilation, door opening and technical access into account.

A bar with wine cooler is an attractive option when wine needs to be kept at the right temperature while remaining part of the overall bar design.

A bar with sink and refrigerator combines two important functions and creates a much more self-contained drinks and preparation area.

A bar can also be designed with double refrigeration when additional cooling capacity or separate temperature zones are required.

Bar storage is an important part of a practical design. Open compartments, cupboards and drawers can organise glasses, bottles, tableware, supplies and accessories.

A bar with cupboards can be arranged around what needs to be stored and how frequently each item is used.

Drawers are useful for smaller items such as bottle openers, corkscrews, napkins, coasters and other bar accessories.

A bar with wall panelling gains extra visual impact because the rear wall becomes part of the design. It can match the bar timber or deliberately create contrast.

A wooden back bar can incorporate shelving, bottle storage, lighting, cupboards and decorative details to create one complete bar interior.

The rear wall can also provide space for glass storage, a logo, display bottles or other personalised elements.

A home bar with back bar turns a simple counter into a defined bar area and gives the room a stronger visual identity.

A custom corner bar can make efficient use of two walls. An L-shaped layout creates more worktop space and often additional storage.

A straight bar is an effective option for a compact room and can be positioned against a wall or designed as a freestanding piece.

A freestanding bar can become the central feature of a room, with a working side for preparation and a guest side with seating.

Bar height has a major effect on comfort. With a bespoke design, worktop and seating height can be coordinated with the chosen bar stools.

Bar depth is equally important. Sufficient working space and comfortable legroom make a noticeable difference in everyday use.

A bar with seating can accommodate two, three or several stools. The available width determines how many people can sit comfortably alongside one another.

In a larger room, a large custom bar can combine sink, refrigerator, storage, worktop, beer tap, glass display and seating within one design.

For smaller spaces, a small home bar can combine several functions efficiently without making the room feel crowded.

A wood and steel bar works particularly well in an industrial interior. Wooden fronts and worktops can be combined with black steel details for a stronger contemporary look.

Scaffold wood can retain a natural finish or be treated in different tones, including natural, white wash, grey wash or a more opaque colour depending on the required appearance.

Knots, grain and natural colour variations are part of the character of a scaffold wood bar and help make every piece individual.

For indoor scaffold wood bars, the timber is carefully planed and dried back to approximately 12% moisture content. This makes it more stable for use indoors.

In addition to scaffold wood, selected projects can also be made in oak. A custom oak bar or oak counter has a premium, warm and timeless appearance.

Solid oak is particularly suitable for counters, reception bars, showrooms, restaurants and projects where a more refined finish is desired. Timber selection and finish are matched to the design and intended use.

The bar worktop is exposed to intensive use. The material should therefore be selected according to the application, required maintenance and preferred appearance.

For a bar with sink, moisture resistance around the wet zone is especially important. The worktop material and finish need to suit this use.

A custom bar can be prepared for refrigerators, wine coolers and other built-in appliances. Exact technical specifications and dimensions need to be known before production.

A bar with beer tap can also be incorporated into the design. Space for the tap, lines, cooling and technical equipment should be planned from the beginning.

An integrated beer tap can work in a private home bar, entertainment room, hotel or commercial hospitality bar.

Glass display cabinets in a bar can showcase glasses, bottles or products while becoming an integral part of the overall design.

A bar with glass display cabinet combines presentation and storage and can be used in both private and commercial interiors.

We can prepare the furniture for sinks, taps, refrigeration, beer dispensing equipment and other appliances. We do not carry out water, gas or electrical connection work ourselves.

A bar can be combined with matching high tables, bar stools and cabinets. Repeating the same timber, colour and finish creates a coherent overall interior.

For a custom hospitality bar, practical requirements such as workflow, storage, access to appliances and intensity of use often play an especially important role.

An office bar can function as a coffee point, lunch area or informal meeting place while integrating appliances and storage into one piece of furniture.

A shop or showroom counter can combine reception, presentation and working functions, making the front of the counter an important part of the space's identity.

Having a bar made to measure involves much more than changing its external dimensions. The relationship between worktop, appliances, storage, seating and back bar determines how well the finished bar works.

In our own workshop, we produce each bar as a complete project. Dimensions, timber type, colour, layout, appliance positions and details can therefore be coordinated from the start.

In our showroom in Neede, the Netherlands, you can view timber, colours and finishes and discuss the practical layout of your bar with us.

The Dutchwoodcraft Company is a family business with its own workshop, sewing atelier and showroom in Neede. We produce custom wooden bars, scaffold wood bars, custom oak bars, counters and complete bar interiors for private and professional spaces.
