Custom Bars & Display Cabinetry
Built-in home bars, wine displays, glass cabinetry, beverage storage, and entertaining walls designed around the room, collection, and way you host.
Entertaining Cabinetry
A home bar should belong to the architecture.
The best custom bars are not isolated furniture pieces. They connect cabinetry, appliances, display, lighting, stone, and storage into one composition shaped for the room.
We begin with how the bar will be used: daily coffee, wine service, cocktails, entertaining, display, concealed storage, or a combination of functions.
Room dimensions, sightlines, plumbing, electrical, refrigeration, ventilation, glassware, bottle sizes, countertop appliances, and desired materials inform the cabinetry plan.
The finished result may be subtle and furniture-like or become the room’s defining architectural feature.
Display Meets Storage
Show what matters. Conceal everything else.
Glass display, open shelving, and integrated lighting create visual interest while closed cabinetry keeps supplies, equipment, and everyday clutter organized.
Custom Bar Possibilities
Designed for the room and the ritual.
Each bar is developed around its location, function, equipment, collection, and desired level of display.
Wet Bars
Sink cabinetry, refrigeration, glassware storage, bottle organization, lighting, and serving surfaces coordinated together.
Dry Bars
Compact entertaining cabinetry without plumbing, ideal for dining rooms, living areas, offices, and transition spaces.
Wine Displays
Temperature-controlled storage, bottle display, stemware, decanting surfaces, and illuminated presentation.
Coffee & Beverage Stations
Appliance garages, pull-out shelves, water access, refrigeration, drawers, and organized everyday supplies.
Glass Display Cabinetry
Illuminated towers, art and collection display, smoked glass, mirrored backs, and furniture-inspired details.
Hidden Entertaining Storage
Pocket doors, concealed appliances, closed bottle storage, serving pieces, and clean cabinetry when the bar is not in use.
Plan the Inside, Not Just the Front
Storage developed around actual contents.
Bottle height, glassware, trays, small appliances, refrigeration, plumbing, ice, waste, and serving pieces all affect cabinet dimensions and interior organization.
Details that make the bar work.
We coordinate the cabinetry plan with selected appliances, fixtures, stone, lighting, and surrounding architecture before fabrication or ordering.

From collection to coordinated cabinetry.

Plans and elevations establish proportions, cabinets, appliances, lighting, counters, and transitions.
Coordinate Details
Specifications, utilities, hardware, interiors, glass, stone, and field conditions are reviewed.
Fabricate & Install
The selected cabinetry path is documented for fabrication, delivery, and coordinated installation.
Common Questions
Custom bar planning.
What is the difference between a wet bar and a dry bar?
A wet bar includes a sink and plumbing. A dry bar does not. Both may include refrigeration, storage, lighting, glass display, appliances, and serving surfaces.
Can appliances be hidden inside bar cabinetry?
Yes, depending on appliance specifications and ventilation requirements. Pocket doors, appliance garages, panels, and closed cabinetry can create a cleaner appearance.
Can MDI design wine and glassware storage?
Yes. Cabinet interiors can be planned around bottle orientation, wine refrigeration, stemware, decanters, trays, serving pieces, and collection display.
Are custom home bars available outside Florida?
Custom project availability depends on scope, location, measurements, installation requirements, and the selected cabinetry path. Contact MDI with the project details for guidance.
