Cool and Stylish Home Bar Ideas

Cool and Stylish Home Bar Ideas

A stylish home bar is at the top of our domestic wish list, surpassing both pantries and laundry rooms. Because what could be more fun – and impressive – than entertaining friends in your own actual home bar?

We're not talking bar carts or wine cellars either, we mean full-blown, unapologetically decadent rooms dedicated to mixing cocktails and unwinding.

These clever homes have transformed dead spaces – an unused wall, that barely-used study or a dull basement – to stylish entertaining spaces packed with wow-factor.

Accessorise with stylish bar stools and a cool neon light sign and it'll soon become everyone's favourite room in the house.

                    

Real Deal


This home bar is the real deal; open shelving with bottles on display, a bar island with bar stools, and even it's own name, named after the home owner's two favourite things. Get the look: Get the look: The bespoke bar, created by Made by Jason & Co, includes a brass bar top from The Copper And Zinc Bar Company.

                    

Glam Factor


This gleaming and glamorous étagère takes pride of place in anopen-plan living room. Get the look: The Seventies brass étagère was imported from Holland and the Fifties German side chairs were reupholstered, all via The Mint List Interior Design.

                    

Disguised


This clever built-in home bar area blends in with the rest of the white cabinetry in the kitchen.

                

Colour Coordinated


Once you throw open the cabinet doors, colourful glasses that are grouped by colour break up the white scheme.

                

That Seventies Show


The bar has purposefully been given an almost tongue-in-cheek 1970s look. Gold-flecked cork wallpaper on the walls and ceiling, mirror-backed bar units and shelves filled with vintage 1970s glasses inscribed with the owner’s initials (found by chance on eBay) helped to create a small space with a big personality. Get the look: The bar units were custom-made. The brass cabinets and screen dividers are bespoke. This is a Nero Marquina marble floor. The Japanese Cork wallpaper is by Phillip Jeffries.

                

Double Fridge


There’s a striking built-in home bar with blue cabinetry, a wine fridge and a smaller fridge for beers and soft drinks.

                

Pop Art


With vintage Fifties furniture, one wall clad in a knockout, limited-edition Roy Lichtenstein print, and a bar made out of marble and burr walnut, this space feels cool and glamorous. The bar was made from an old marble fireplace that was found at a salvage yard. It’s been converted into this bar, which includes a built-in glass chiller, ice maker and dishwasher. Get the look: The original fireplace was sourced from The Architectural Forum. The bespoke cocktail bar and cabinetry were made by Robert Timmons Furniture. The vintage armchair and cocktail table are from Ed Butcher. The print is of Roy Lichtenstein’s Blue Floor.

                

All Black


This compact, black home bar makes the most of a small room.

                

Regal Blue


A regal blue butler’s pantry with built-in wine storage and bar dazzles with exposed metal shelving, antique mirror detailing, and campaign style cabinets that are lined in polished nickel. Polished nickel gallery lights set a dramatic tone, stylishly highlighting the spirits and barware below.

                

Walnut & Onyx


This traditional home bar boasts custom walnut cabinetry and onyx finishes.

                    

Walnut Wood


This intimate space features a custom wet bar finished in American walnut with a Kenya Black marble counter and backsplash, as well as a Eurocave wine fridge. Get the look: The marble back is from Silver wave Marble.

                

Clever Corridor


This clean, crisp white bar is built into a corridor space that links the kitchen with the dining space. It makes the most of an unused wall and creates extra storage.

                

Secret Bar

This hidden bar has been concealed into a wall next to the dining space, tucked away behind a perforated screen. Get the look: For similar tiles, try Walls and Floors. The ceiling light is from Masson For Light in Melbourne. Try netlighting.co.uk for similar. Giles Miller Studio could custom-make a perforated metal screen like this.

                

Blue Lacquer


This built-in bar is designed to look like a piece of furniture with slate blue lacquer finish, stripe marmara marble countertop, and matching cabinet and appliance pulls in white burnished bronze. Mirrored exposed back reflecting outside view, floating glass shelves and cantilevered racks give a sense of lightness, and display glassware and wine bottles like a retail showcase. Get the look: Bar door handle in burnished white bronze from Sun Valley Bronze

                

Drinks Table


This sitting room has a the perfect table for offering guests a glass of wine, aperitif or cocktail. Get the look: The Paris Review is by Alex Katz. Find prints at theparisreview.org. The acrylic and mirror wine bar is a vintage piece. For similar, try Carew Jones.

                

Secret Snug


Off a living room, this snug was the perfect place to create a chic bar. The previous owner had used it as a stereo room, filled with his CD collection. Now it’s equipped with everything you could ever need for aperitifs and nightcaps. Get the look: The walls are in polished plaster.

                

Basement Bar


This basement bar is perfect for entertaining. Get the look: Bar, Wood’n Design.
