If you enjoy hosting parties or entertaining guests, a home bar is a practical addition to your home that serves its purpose and it also adds a luxe look to your home. A home bar doesn’t necessarily take up a lot of space. There will always be spots around the house that could be transformed into an at-home entertaining. Find a nook in your home and start to create a conversation piece.

If space allows, dedicate a separate room to build a man cave and install a bar sink for a quick washing-up in case of accidental drink spill. The wet bar provides a ton of storage to store drink essentials, including wine, spirits, mixers, stemware and barware, as well as appetiser plates, bowls and napkins. The cranny in the opposite wall stashes a wine collection in the slots.

Utilise the space under the stairs and create an appealing wet bar. This is the perfect place for people to congregate especially during a social gathering. Keep the party rolling with plenty supplies of drinks that can be stored in the custom-built cabinet. The white-painted cabinet and backsplash blend into the stairs as well as become an integral part of the stairs.

Instead of creating a seating or storage which most people would do at the nook beside the stairs, why not indulge yourself in building an at-home entertaining area? This stately home bar is the perfect blend of trendy and timeless style. Instead of alcohol, the chilled fridge space can be used to stash water bottles, children’s drinks and beverages for a family with kids.
11. Closet Bar

This shabby-chic built-in home bar makes entertaining more stylish than ever. I like the idea of having the doors close off the bar when you don’t want to get too distracted by it and let the fireplace shine as the only focal point of the room.
