There’s nothing quite like having your very own bar in the comfort of your home, especially when it’s designed to the very best it can be. Not only will you be the one everyone turns to for a memorable night, but your social calendar will never look better. From the perfect glass to an extensive collection of your favourite tipple, it’s both rewarding and exciting to have your very own bar oozing with your own personality and style. Thinking of adding one to your home? Continue reading for some top tips on how to make the ultimate home bar.
The Bar Itself
It doesn’t matter how much space you have, investing money into a good quality bar is half the job done. With so many unique designs available, as well as handy DIY bars to work on, you can find the right style and shape to work for your home. You want your bar to look the part, with plenty of space to display drinks and a selection of snacks, to find something that has plenty of room to work with. Your bar itself will set the tone for the whole room, so find something that will enhance the space and create the perfect feel in an instant.

Glassware Range
Each and every drink comes with its own requirements and one of the most important things to consider is the glass. You wouldn’t serve a cocktail in a pint glass, just as you wouldn’t enjoy a whisky in a gin glass, so you need to think about your selection of glassware and ensure you have a wide enough range to cover every drink available. You can find some amazing glassware ranges online, as a set, or individually to make the collection a little more personal.
Favourite Spirits
Your own personal home bar should be a collection of your favourites, from your favourite whisky to your favourite gin, so it’s important to stock up. Every bar has a wide selection of popular spirits, so take a look at a variety of options and make sure your bar has something to suit every taste. Remember not to stock up too much, as you don’t want things going to waste, just enough to keep you going over a few weeks or months.
Style Consistency
Once you’ve set up your perfect bar with the right alcohol selection and appropriate tools to serve, you need to ensure that the rest of the room fits with the vibe of your bar. Create a space that has a warm and welcoming feel, such as adding a little music, plenty of areas to sit and some mood lighting, to really set the right tone. Keep your style consistent with artwork, perhaps of your favourite band or singer, as well as decorative features that continue on from the rest of your home. You want your bar to be a reflection of your own personality and a space you and your friends can enjoy.
