Calling Off The Sesh

Creating a whole bar room or a dedicated drinking space could increase your house’s class and beauty. Bars are luxury architecture that uses elements impossible to inculcate in a house’s orthodox decor. The use of glass, wood, or even ceramics in a bar space is very tasteful and rich, making these spaces ornaments of a house. Whether you go for a minimalistic corner shelf or a classic wooden bar room, they impact the vibe of your home in the same way.

However, it depends on whether you want to make the bar a transcending space like the Las Vegas-style rooms or a place that adds to the existing interior design, like a minimalist open bar. The point is having a great place to spend your weekends or throwing a random house party that your friends will remember for life. Thanks to these home bar designs, you might end up hosting every group party, so be cautious about where you flaunt your bar room.

    What type of lighting is best for home bars?

    A mix of ambient and accent lighting is typically used in home bars. Cabinet lighting, hanging light fixtures, and dimmable overhead lights are some of the most used types currently.

    How to set up a home bar on a budget?

    Aesthetic storage space, a good collection of bottles, a spacious enough bar platform, and some long bar stools. These are essentials and are easily available in the market for a budget. The key lies in lighting. You can use DIY fairy lights or warm LEDs for moody lighting, as the whole vibe is decided by the lighting. If you get the lighting correct in a home bar, you won’t need fancy stools or expensive cabinets anymore.
