Playroom to Bar Room: A Sophisticated Transformation by Atelier Davis
Team Atelier Davis is excited to share our latest interior design journey: transforming a beloved kids’ playroom into a sophisticated, stylish bar room. Located in the Atlanta area, this project showcases our commitment to blending form and function while staying true to our client’s vision.
With a built-in bar featuring a stone top, warm walnut accents, and a custom banquette, we created two distinct design concepts. Each highlights unique palettes and materials, elevating this space into a hub for relaxation and entertainment.
Concept 1: Calming Greens and Blues with Pops of Red
For the first design, we embraced a serene palette of greens and blues, enhanced by subtle pops of red. Highlights include:
- Bar Design: A marble top with muted green undertones paired with warm walnut accents.
- Custom Banquette: Soft upholstery in calming hues, complemented by a textured paneled wall that adds depth and sophistication.
- Lighting: Antique brass fixtures stand out against the paneled backdrop, adding a timeless charm.
This concept creates a tranquil yet inviting atmosphere, perfect for unwinding in style.

Concept 2: Bold Reds and Purply Browns for a Moody Vibe
The second concept leans into a dramatic, moody aesthetic, with rich reds and purply browns taking center stage. Key features include:
- Bar Design: A marble top showcasing earthy grays and browns, framed by the natural warmth of walnut.
- Mirrored Wall: Positioned behind the custom banquette to reflect light and add a touch of glamor.
- Textured Fabrics: Subtle patterns provide contrast and interest, while clay-colored walls tie the elements together seamlessly.
This bold design makes a statement while maintaining warmth and elegance.

Thoughtful Design Details
Both concepts are united by a thoughtful layout that prioritizes functionality and aesthetics:
- Built-In Bar: Anchoring one side of the room, the bar serves as a functional and stylish centerpiece.
- Custom Banquette: Positioned opposite the bar, the banquette provides ample seating and balances the room visually.
- Layered Textures: From smooth stone to soft textiles, each material was chosen to create a dynamic and cohesive space.

Bringing the Vision to Life
We can’t wait to see this project come to life and become a space for connection, relaxation, and inspiration.
As we finalize the details for this transformation, we’re energized by how these schemes push creative boundaries while staying true to the client’s vision. Whether leaning into calming greens and blues or embracing bold reds and browns, this bar room is set to become a stunning blend of form and function. We can’t wait to see it all come together!
