At Pro Aspect Ltd, we specialise in high-end bespoke joinery solutions for residential interiors across London and the UK. One of our most popular custom installations is the living room bar unit — a stylish yet functional feature that combines modern luxury with tailored practicality.
If you’re considering adding a custom bar unit to your living room, here’s how to choose the right materials, collaborate effectively with your designer and joinery specialist, and navigate each step of the process
Step 1: Understanding Your Space and Vision
Every home is different — and so is every client. That’s why the first step is always about understanding your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and the practical requirements of the space.
- Do you entertain often?
- Is this a dry bar or will it include plumbing and refrigeration?
- Do you prefer a classic, modern, or industrial look?
During our initial consultation, we take detailed measurements and discuss design ideas that will complement your existing living room furniture and layout.
Step 2: Choosing the Right Materials
When it comes to bespoke bar units, material choice is everything. It impacts not only the look and feel but also durability and maintenance. We guide clients through a curated selection of finishes:
✅ Timber and Veneers
- Oak, walnut, or ash for a natural, timeless appearance
- Engineered veneers for a modern, consistent look
✅ Spray-Painted MDF
- Ideal for smooth, coloured finishes
- Available in any RAL or Farrow & Ball colour
✅ Glass & Mirrors
- Adds depth and elegance to display shelving
- Toughened and silver-backed options available
✅ Metal Accents
- Brass, stainless steel or black powder-coated handles, trims, and shelving brackets
✅ Worktops
- Quartz, marble, or solid wood for style and practicality
- Built-in sinks, ice wells or cocktail stations can also be added
Step 3: Collaborative Design Process
We work closely with both interior designers and end clients to ensure the final result reflects the intended style and functionality.
- Designers: We provide technical drawings, CAD models, and material samples for approval
- Clients: We host collaborative meetings to review finishes, layout, lighting, and integrated appliances
This triangular collaboration ensures nothing gets lost in translation — from initial concept to final installation.
Step 4: Bespoke Joinery Manufacturing
At Pro Aspect Ltd, we manufacture everything in our UK-based workshop using precision machinery and skilled craftsmanship.
- Precision cutting
- Spray finishing in any colour
- Hand assembly for perfect detailing
Our team guarantees a flawless finish and attention to detail that mass-produced furniture simply can’t match.
Step 5: Delivery and Installation
We handle delivery and fitting across London and beyond. Our skilled installers ensure that your bespoke bar unit is assembled on-site with precision, minimal disruption, and perfect alignment.
