There’s nothing quite like the drama of a beautiful drop-leg edge — and this basement bar is a perfect example. Also known as a “waterfall edge,” this architectural feature is sure to WOW in any space.
“Waterfall” Countertop Materials
This basement bar took things to the next level by carrying the stone down the right edge for a clean, sleek, modern look. The homeowner took advantage of a great Quartz Promotion and, wanting dramatic veining, selected Borghini Classic Quartz. If you’re planning your own drop-leg or waterfall edge, choosing the right material is key. Quartz is an excellent option thanks to its strength and durability, while marble or quartzite is often too fragile or brittle for this kind of structural feature.
Basement Bar Cabinetry
If you’re considering a drop-leg or waterfall edge, it’s important to discuss it with your cabinetry designer early in the planning process. In this case, the customer worked with Stone Masters for their cabinetry and chose a textured door style. Waypoint’s unique Duraform material added depth and a dramatic touch to the space, and the compact design delivers everything a basement bar needs without feeling cramped.
This design captures everything the client needed for their home bar — without breaking the bank! The entire space was completed for under $4,500.
