There is a huge difference between getting a high at home and having that feeling of being elated somewhere outside. I mean, who would not want to sit in the familiar and cozy confines and have a nice drink. Personally, I would not want to go to a place where there is blaring music and too many people all around. I would rather be at home and have a good time. So then you have two options. Either getting the drinks from the store or get a bar at home. For this also you would need to get drinks from the store, but this will be more of your collection, instead of getting what is available. With it, you can also flaunt your collection and call people over for drinks! Here are a few ideas you would want to be enlightened with, so as to improve your home decor.
Design Ideas for a Home Bar
By Shape: Planning is very important. Consequently, when you design a home bar, the structure and the shape comes first in the picture. You can have an L shape bar, which is planned in an L shape as the name suggests. L-shaped bar, perhaps is least complicated. A convenient feature of this one is that it has room for fixing a sink on the shorter side. Another variation is a straight type bar. This type is typically at the end of the room and its length spans the width of the room. Here, the storage of drink bottles and glasses is mainly below the counter and three bar stools can be fitted well in a single row. These are the two comparatively conventional shapes for a bar. No one is going to stop you if you want it to have a whacky 'Z' shape or oval shape! There is no dearth of shapes for your bar!
By Style and Theme: There are primarily three basic styles. There is a wet bar, with a built in sink, which make the cleaning easier. Moreover, these bars have built up ice machines and refrigerators, which add to the convenience; you do not have to make round trips of the kitchen. To top it all, the best part about this is that you can also have a draft system, dispensing the coveted drink, especially beer. If you want a different style for your bar, you may try a rustic design, with wooden cabinets and nicely carved wooden counter table ( I am already liking it! Wow!). Again, style is what you are, so let that bar reflect your personality. Similarly, if you are a sports enthusiast, you can have a theme of sports. On the other hand if you are interested in cars, have a bar resembling the design of a jazzy, futuristic car! That is, of course if you have space and the big bucks enough for such luxury.
By Color and Accessories: Color scheme of the bar should gel perfectly with the style and theme. Imagine how horrendous a rustic cabinet painted in blue or pink would look! Therefore, choose the color scheme accordingly. For a contemporary look, (unless it is a very specific theme based design) tan, mocha brown, black, red, chocolate, gray and white are perfect. While choosing colors, have a pairing of neutral shades with a tinge of a bright and vibrant color. Now, colors would not be considered excluding the accessories, so accessories are crucial. Sky is the limit as far as accessories are concerned, from flat TV's to disco ball to pool tables, et all. The objective is to make that area inviting, relaxing and full of fun, entertainment and trust me, people leave no stones unturned to create that perfect ambiance. This is of course, apart from the basic accessories like bar stools, glasses, strainer, mixers, etc. Neon signs and other type of light effects are incredible accessories to have, in addition to the above.
By Drinks: Who said, drinks do not come into the designs? Why not include them to get the overall bar effect. So a few of the cocktails and other drinks which could give your guests a lifetime of experience could be Catalina Margarita, Rocky Point Margarita, Belgian Beer (if you could get your hands on it) or ring in the 'cheerful spirit' with Bloody Mary or an innovative tequila shot! Flaunt your bar tending skills to your guests by preparing fine concoctions for them!
This was just a glimpse of what all could go in home bar. Are you game for making one at home? If you are, then all the best!
