About This Style

The Carlton Bar Unit is a charcoal handleless home bar drawn for an open-plan dining room. Cupboards and a wine cooler sit under a white marble-effect quartz worktop, lit open shelving above holds bottles and glasses, and a full-height glazed cabinet with internal lighting closes the run. The three renders show the bar from the dining table, the tall cabinet from the terrace doors, and the worktop and wine cooler up close.

Crafted from 18mm MFC in a charcoal matt finish, the unit uses push-to-open doors and soft-close hinges on a robust 18mm solid-back E1 Grade carcase, with a marble-effect quartz worktop and splashback and a vented housing for the wine cooler.

Every home bar unit is made to measure and manufactured in our Wembley, North London workshop using precision CNC machinery. Our team manages everything from the design consultation to professional installation.

Backed by a 10-Year Parts and Labour Guarantee, the Carlton gives a modern flat a bar that works as furniture by day and a lit feature at night.

Carlton Bespoke Bar Unit

The Carlton Bespoke Bar Unit is a made-to-measure home bar for an open-plan room, where the bar has to look like furniture from the dining table and work as a bar when the lights go down.

Charcoal matt cupboards and a wine cooler sit under a white marble-effect worktop that returns up the wall as a splashback; open shelves above it are lit from underneath, and a full-height glazed cabinet with its own lighting closes the run against the terrace doors.

How it works: the cabinetry is manufactured from 18mm MFC on an 18mm solid-back E1-grade carcass with a Stone Grey interior. Doors use push-to-open catches with soft-close hinges; the wine cooler housing is vented; the worktop is templated in place; every shelf carries an LED strip.

Designed around how you entertain

A fitted home bar should be planned around what you actually need to store and how you use the space. Rather than simply creating cupboards with a worktop, the internal arrangement can be divided into dedicated zones for drinks, glassware, preparation and display.

  • Bottle storage
  • Wine storage and a wine cooler housing
  • Shelving for spirits
  • Glassware storage
  • Internal drawers
  • Closed cupboards
  • Open display shelving
  • Bar accessory storage
  • Preparation and serving worktop
  • Integrated LED strip lighting (warm white, white and yellow)
  • Display areas for feature bottles and glassware

Built for everyday use: the solid-back carcass gives the bar its own structure; the quartz worktop takes spills and wipes clean; the charcoal matt doors hide fingerprints better than gloss.

Manufactured in our Wembley workshop

Your fitted bar unit is made to measure and precision-manufactured in our HA9 Wembley factory. Our in-house cutting-edge technology works alongside advanced factory machinery to ensure each component is produced to exact specifications. This digital thread helps maintain accuracy from the approved design through to production.

Our intelligent beam saw optimises board usage to minimise waste, while intelligent CNC and 6 side drilling technology accurately machines components and drilling points. Industrial edge-banding equipment provides consistent finished edges across the furniture components.

Every Carlton is designed around your actual room, available wall space and storage requirements before manufacture and professional installation.

Quality you can rely on: your Metro fitted furniture comes with a 10-year guarantee covering parts and labour, giving you additional confidence in your investment.

“Just got my new fitted wardrobe from these guys and I couldn't be happier! Starting from the design visit to the installation everything was so fast and easy - the designer, Ranto, came to my house and helped me come up with the perfect design that fit my storage needs. He sent me the 3d design on the same day and also, did the changes until I liked the design. Then the fitting team, led by Kinjal, came and installed it all in just a 2 days. I love how my new wardrobe looks - it's exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend Metro!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Carlton Bespoke Bar Unit Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Carlton Bar Unit?
A bespoke made-to-measure home bar in charcoal: handleless cupboards and a wine cooler under a white marble-effect quartz worktop, lit open shelving above, and a full-height glazed cabinet with internal lighting at the end of the run.
Is the worktop real marble?
The render shows a white marble-effect quartz, which gives the veining without the staining that natural marble suffers from wine and citrus. Real marble, granite and porcelain are available; the worktop is templated after the cabinets are fitted.
Why a glazed cabinet?
It keeps glassware and the good bottles dust-free while leaving them on show, lit from inside, so the bar reads as a feature in the evening. It can be a solid door if you prefer everything hidden.
Can I customise the storage?
Yes. Every Carlton is made to measure and can be arranged with shelving, cupboards, drawers, wine storage, a wine cooler and display areas to suit how you entertain.
Does the Carlton come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every Carlton is backed by our 10-Year Parts and Labour Guarantee, covering materials, craftsmanship and installation.
Edge Detail

The Three Bar Edge Details

On a bar the edges are where the drinks are — the worktop joint a spill runs to, the fronts at counter height, the door reveals under a stone top. These are the details we work to. Your designer specifies them at the survey.
01
1mm ABS Square Edge CARLTON BAR
The standard edge on an MFC slab: a 1mm band in the same decor as the face, applied by machine and trimmed square. It is the edge on the doors of a bar unit, where a run of flat fronts under a worktop wants the cleanest line and nothing for a glass to catch on.
1mm ABS Square Edge — edge profile diagram
02
2mm ABS Softened Edge
A thicker 2mm band with the corner softened to a small radius. It takes knocks better than a square edge, which matters on the fronts at counter height — the drawers a hip meets, the doors a foot nudges, the peninsula a stool scrapes. Specified per front, so the uppers stay square and the base goes softened.
2mm ABS Softened Edge — edge profile diagram
03
Sealed Worktop Joint
The bar-unit edge. Where the worktop meets the carcass, the wall and any sink or cut-out, the joint is sealed so a spill runs across the top and off it rather than down into the board. On a wet bar the sink cut-out is sealed the same way. It is the reason a bar can be wiped with a wet cloth for ten years without a swollen edge.
