Although there are many advantages of shifting to a metropolitan city, one disadvantage that everyone faces is that the size of the home is too small. However, this does not mean you will have to give up on all your desires. There are many designing techniques that will allow you to add all the luxuries you want to your home. For instance, many people love the idea of a home bar but often avoid it because of space crunch. It does not have to be like that anymore. Here are a few home bar designs for your home that will fit into any small space:
01 of 05 Use a cart for your bar
A cart can be used to create a small home bar in your home. You do not have to necessarily buy a bar cart for this purpose. Any utility cart can be transformed into one as well with spirit bottles, glassware, and other essentials. Make sure you choose a cart that offers plenty of storage space without occupying a lot of floor space. Choose between two and three shelves depending on your collection. Since these pieces are quite small and minimalist, you can tuck them away in any room you want. However, it is kept in the living room design since most people entertain their guests in that room. If you want to move it around in the house depending on your needs, consider choosing one with casters so that you can push or pull it without putting in a lot of effort. Compared to rectangular carts, round carts are better for your interior design if you do not have plenty of free space.
02 of 05 Consider using a tray table
Besides a cart, a tray table is quite effective if you want to create a small home bar design. Although it may sound like a bad idea because tray tables appear boring, they have gotten very stylish over the years. You can easily find them in many different colours, materials, and finishes. This will allow you to find a piece that perfectly blends in with your home design. Since these tables are small and foldable, they are perfect for creating home bars in a small space. Hence, you can easily accommodate it anywhere close to the sitting areas. If you have a large collection, the tray table might not be sufficient and you will require more than one. Your foldable table can only accommodate a few bottles and glassware. People who only set up a bar area when entertaining guests can consider this option as you can easily put it away after the guests leave.
03 of 05 Use your bookcase for making a bar
In small living room designs, it is very important to utilise vertical space. This helps to free up more floor space and make the interior design appear appealing. Hence, using vertical space for creating a home bar in a small house is a great idea. The bookcase is one of the best places where you can create a home bar design using vertical space. Just clear the top shelf and keep your spirits there. You can use another shelf as well if you have a big collection. The rest of the shelves can have books. Instead of emptying them for your glassware, try to incorporate your glassware with your books as decor items to create an appealing look. The only issue you will face is that the mini bar is not movable.
04 of 05 Make a mini bar on your kitchen island using a tray
You can make a home bar in your kitchen interior design as well. People often turn the kitchen island into a small home bar. If you have sufficient space in the kitchen for people to move freely around the kitchen island without making the space crowded, this is a great idea. One of the biggest benefits is that water and snacks are available within hand’s reach. Also, you do not have to worry about storing your glassware with so many storage options. However, it is always better to store your spirit bottles and glassware together. Just get a large and well-designed tray, place it anywhere on the kitchen island, and arrange your collection on it. Additionally, cleaning up after enjoying it will be very easy.
05 of 05 use your built-in alcove for this purpose
A built-in alcove can be used for creating a small home bar as well. It will be perfect if you like hosting parties frequently as you can organise all your spirit bottles and glassware here. Consider taking the same approach you took when using a bookcase as a home bar. While the top shelves can stay dedicated to your home bar, the rest can be used for storing and arranging other items.
