Ally Whalen Design
Whiskey Lounge

Tasked with creating a "wow factor" at the front of the home, this underutilized dining room was completely reimagined into a sophisticated whiskey lounge that sets the tone the moment you step inside. Bold, moody, and a memorable space that felt refined and a little rebellious.
The transformation began by closing off the doorway into the kitchen which they were reluctant to do at first as they used it frequently. But once I showed them my vision for the wall to wall built-in, they were on board. We also added dramatic glass and steel sliding doors, creating an architectural statement while keeping the room from feeling too closed off. The black custom cabinetry with metallic wallpaper backdrop showcases the client's extensive whiskey collection like art, with integrated lighting that adds depth and sets the mood.
Rich camel leather swivel chairs and white oak ceiling beams introduce warmth against the dark palette and the frame TV enables revolving art.
Every detail was created to invite lingering conversation and set an unmistakably luxurious mood right from the home's entry. Truly dream clients- trusting, and open to creativity, which made bringing this vision to life as enjoyable as the final result itself!
