5 CHIC BEVERAGE STATION MUST-HAVES THAT SERVES UP STYLE & CONVENIENCE

The convenience and practicality of a custom beverage station – a zone integrated into a room’s design that’s dedicated to storing, preparing and serving hot and cold drinks – has migrated from the kitchen to other rooms in the house in recent years, becoming a popular must-have addition to family rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and home offices.

With the introduction of quality compact versions of our large kitchen appliances, it’s now easier than ever to design a stylish station customized to conveniently offer favourite beverages and snacks anytime and anywhere in our homes.

Check out these 5 chic designs that offer convenient ways to integrate a stand-alone zone outside of the kitchen proper, where everything is stored in one place for quick and easy access and preparation to your favourite beverages.

1. Conveniently integrated into the dining area of this gorgeous open-plan space by Designer Tiffanie Holbrook of Simply Made Home, Thermador’s fully-flush, built-in coffee machine and under-counter wine fridge offer the host easy access to beverages when dining and entertaining. The custom cabinetry offers storage for tabletop essentials and durable quartz surfaces for prep and serving. A separate beverage station is the perfect addition to any kitchen.

2. For wine lovers and connoisseurs Thermador’s stainless-steel Wine Reserve Columns with glass doors are available in 18- and 24-inch widths making it possible to design a luxe wine room setting in a dining or living room. With enough space to hold up to 92 bottles and two or three zones to ensure your wines are stored at the optimum temperature and humidity, you’ll always be ready for any occasion. This self-contained station includes a prep sink and floating shelves for glassware and other beverage favourites.

3. Have fun with the design of your beverage station. Dress the area with unique patterned tile or wallpaper, luxe polished stone countertops and a fun mix of metals to define each design detail from sink to cabinets and fixtures. Here, two side-by-side 24-inch Freedom® Professional stainless steel under-counter wine fridges that each store 41 bottles, make a colourful statement.

4. Personalize your built-in beverage station design by configuring a combination of Thermador’s fully-flush 24-inch under-counter Freedom® refrigerator/freezer drawers (shown), coffee machine, wine columns or under-counter fridges.

5. Customize the cabinetry in your bathroom, bedroom or dressing room with an integrated Thermador 24-inch Freedom® fridge drawer to keep your expensive makeup and favourite beverages cool and fresh.
