An Awesome Home Bar in a Few Easy Steps


Whether you invest in a simple bar cart or some cool barstools to liven a counter, convert a bookcase into a handsome shelf dry bar, or go all out in installing a wet bar with sink, refrigerator, and even taps, a beautiful home bar is a phenomenal way to succeed as a host. Here are some things to consider as you plan yours.

Home Bar 101

Like with real estate, a great home bar depends on location, location, location. Where do you actually entertain your guests? Which place in your home has the most space for this? Would you like to move this venue, say, from a small front room to one end of a finished basement rec room? Maybe the glass porch in back is your home’s most hospitable spot for twilight drinks.

How big a bar do you need or are willing to invest in? Does your chosen space need plumbing and electricity or would you like to start simple? A well-planned home bar pays its dividends in many years of enjoyment by you and your friends.

And once you’ve planned out the contracting work and picked your home bar’s furniture, now it’s playtime. Anything goes when decorating your new home bar. Perhaps old beer cans repurposed as cool track lighting by a crafty friend, or old bottle caps incorporated into your backsplash can add fun to your home bar setting. The only limit is your imagination!
