It’s a sophisticated, and indulgent, addition to any home – but a fun one too. A dedicated home bar, whether in the form of a makeshift nook or a curated room inside your home, offers the opportunity to flex some creative muscle, not only to craft some satiating cocktails but also a space that speaks of your personal taste and style.
Not to mention the pleasantly practical side of containing all bottles, glasses and accessories in one, neat place. Keep reading to discover a round-up of home bars to inspire your own.
Bespoke beauty
A bespoke unit with all the bells and whistles is a sound choice for the wine and whisky aficionado who likes to store, organise and display their bottles with pride. Glass cabinets create a vitrine-like showcase while a custom design allows for must-have design details to be achieved, whether it’s a specific colour choice or configuration.
Pretty in pink
With just one colour, this drinks cabinet brought a unique energy and identity to the living room inside this home, which was then tied into other decorative elements for visual continuity – an approach that can be used with a colour of your preference.
Timeless timber
Equipped with shelves and drawers, this wooden unit is as discreet a bar as it gets, doubling up as a library or display cabinet. The marble top sets an elegant tone while the bottles on the surface are subtle (almost decorative), creating a multi-use piece of furniture that’s both practical and pretty.
Say it with navy
Tucked away into this compact New York apartment like a well-kept secret is a tiny bar housed in what was previously a boiler room, washed in a deep navy blue with contrasting white accents and complete with a flip-up countertop and bar stools.
Cosy corner
It might be the skylight, the library or that bright shade of emerald that’s tickled our fancy here but this room feels like the ultimate cosy corner – complete with a neat bar that’s transformed an ordinary table into an eye-catching drink display bursting with character.
Art deco vibes
Proof that even a small table will suffice to achieve your home bar dreams, the trick here lies in shaping a space at home that feels like you’ve brought the fun inside with thoughtful design choices – whether that be a modern set-up or a nook with a quirky, art deco vibe.
