There is something timeless about Parisian kitchens. This mix of retro charm, noble materials and well-thought-out efficiency is a dream – even thousands of miles away from the City of Light. Good news: it is quite possible to recreate this chic and warm atmosphere in a Montreal apartment. Here are some tips to transform your kitchen into a corner of Paris.

A hybrid space that reinvents everyday moments

Among the most fashionable design trends this year, the bar area integrated into the kitchen is a real favorite among our customers. This new way of furnishing the kitchen combines aesthetics, functionality and a passion for home mixology.

For several months now, we have seen a growing enthusiasm for the creation of a space dedicated to craft cocktails and spirits. Our customers want to incorporate a stylish bar area into their kitchen to store mixology accessories, display their favourite bottles, and prepare drinks in style.

In the past, the home bar was limited to the traditional '60s wheeled cart — popularized by shows like Mad Men — or the retro basement bar of the '70s. Today, these concepts are being reinvented to fit modern kitchens.

While integrated wine cellars still appeal to wine lovers, cocktail enthusiasts are looking for creative solutions to diversify their beverage space. Whether you're a fan of local spirits, a mocktail lover or a budding mixologist, incorporating a bar into your kitchen is the perfect solution to combine style, conviviality and the pleasure of entertaining.

Electrical installation is a crucial aspect when planning a kitchen layout. Complying with building codes, strategically positioning outlets, and ensuring safety are essential steps.
