Home Bar Designs: Raise The Bar With 12 Stunning Concepts For Your Home

If you have a small space, the best way to incorporate a bar at home would be to go for a cabinet. The good thing is that there are so many readily available in the market, so you wouldn't have to go through the hassle of getting one made. You could also add some shelves for more storage or repurpose an old cabinet into a bar, the possibilities are endless.

Utilising the wall is a great way to add a bar to your home if you're not someone who likes to keep an extensive collection but still want a home bar. We suggest adding this above a console table, on which you can keep a decanter for a complete look.

Need something that can move around and be a part of any room? We suggest getting a trolley, not just any trolley, one that's got everything a home bar would essentially have. You could choose to get this custom-made or find it online as well. You can incorporate wine racks, utility shelves, dedicate one side as a bar display, add LED lights and have a coated metal top for the full bar experience on the move! 

A luxurious-looking home bar design has to include a backlit wall for all the expensive liquor, with marble countertops. If you notice closely they also have refrigerators below countertops to store white wines and beers.

If you have some space in the corner of your room (living or dining room preferably), then a bar would possibly be the best way to utilise it. Two walls on the side are used to store glassware, the space below the cabinets can be used to keep barware. This one includes a rotatable bar display with one side with artwork and the other with liquor, which we think is smart considering you wouldn't want dust to settle or liquor to not show all the time. 

We love the use of a different colour to segregate the car from the rest of the room, especially darker colours, like this navy blue. This design is compact with sufficient storage but adding a different colour to the area gives the illusion of a bigger space.

If you have an open kitchen, incorporating a bar on one side makes complete sense. It also makes movement much easier, you have drinks and food in once place, it's the best!

If you like to unwind with a drink in your hand at the end of the day, you might want to consider adding a television to your bar space. This doesn't necessarily need to be behind your bar, you can place it wherever it suits you best. You and your friends can watch the game from the comfort of your home and skip the lines and crowds of sports bars.

Well, some might consider it too jazzy but the feel of a bar only comes together if there are liquor bottles on display. Of course, shelves are always a safe option, however, you can switch things up with a more fun wall showcase. Take inspiration from the image above and get a few nice looking spirit bottles mounted against a nice background (or mirror as in the image).

A moody vibe for a home bar is always a good idea. This stands especially true if you are working with dark colours and creating a den of sorts for entertaining guests. Go for a layered lighting look and use multiple light sources to create a well-lit space that grabs attention through the lighting with other elements a little out of focus.

Similar to spirit bottles, it is absolutely non-negotiable that your home bar is stacked with stunning glassware to not only add to its charms but to also make it appear more put together. There's just something about beautiful glasses in different shapes and sizes that instantly beautifies a bar space. Also, it looks more professional and not like you decided to add a bar to your home on a whim.

LBB Tip: Consider adding those ceiling racks for holding stemmed glasses to get a cleaner look as well as safe up on space.

For those who don't wish to make their home bar the centre of attention, turn a nook in your home into your secret bar space. This could be your private sanctuary where you enjoy a drink or two in peace when required. Keep it cosy and compact with only the essentials and minimal furniture to keep the clutter away.
