Home Bar Ideas for a Stylish Home

how to create a big bar in a little space

Whether you love hosting parties from the comfort of your house or just enjoy crafting your own cocktails, an at-home bar is a wonderful addition to any home. The amount of room you have shouldn’t deter you from building the perfect bar say the experts at Dean Supply. Are you looking for cool ideas to bring a bar into a small area?

You’ll see some great home bar ideas by Dean Supply right here. Dean Supply has been a leader in the food industry for over 50 years, providing equipment, decorations and janitorial supplies for use in restaurants and bars as well as in private homes. Here are some of their suggestions:  

    1. Work with Angles

Your bar doesn’t need to require a huge floor plan. Essentially, your basic bar requires a place to prep beverages, consume drinks, and store bottles. By working with the angles in your home, you can easily fit a small bar into whatever free corner you have. 

Consider a bar that fits into a 45-degree area, in corners, for example, for a geometrically unique bar that is perfect for a smaller area.

    2. Try the Two-Tier Bar

A two-tier bar features two surfaces, stacked to create more room for eating and drinking. This multi-level bar is an aesthetically pleasing way to make the most of the space that you do have. With a two-tier bar, you have enough space for plates, glassware and more.

    3. Choose High-Quality Surfaces

If you use the best materials when building your bar, you’ll be able to make even the smallest of bars into a top-tier alternative. Consider surfaces that create a modern and high-class style, like dark grained wood, marble, or granite slabs. You’ll want to avoid any cheaper surfaces or a style that dulls with time or scratches easily.

    4. Choose Smaller Appliances

As you build your bar, make sure everything else is on the smaller side. Use smaller ice makers, electric drink mixers, and wine coolers that will fit nicely into whatever area you’ve allotted for your bar.

    5. Take Advantage of Your Walls

Don’t let the walls go unused. Take advantage of every inch you have by installing shelves and racks on them. Similarly, you can create a wall niche that you can use to store bottles.

    6. DIY it With Unconventional Materials

Being short on room allows you the opportunity to think outside the box. With a bit of creativity, items from Dean Supply, and furniture from around the house, you’ll be able to pull off an at-home bar seamlessly. Look around your home for any unused bookcases, armoires, shelves, or carts that you can transform into part of your bar. Use these items for the bar’s surface, drink prep area or bottle storage.
