From cocktail parties to intimate Sunday brunches, if you love hosting events, then a home bar is an essential. Whether you have a whole room to dedicate to your home bar or just a nook beneath the stairs, you can find the right inspiration for your favorite home feature. These unique bar ideas from Modernize will get the juices flowing and the drinks pouring.
Colorful Contemporary
If you picture your home bar as a sleek affair, this black-on-black look will hypnotize you. The smooth black hardwood, open shelves, and mirror-plated bar front are the versatile base features, while the vibrant patterned chairs and backlit cabinetry take this contemporary chic look to a unique next level. For your own sophisticated and colorful touch, consider how our Lilly Sculpture would look on your bar top.
Basement Sports Bar
Your bar doesn’t have to be all fancy stem glasses and LED lights. For a basement bar that’s game day-ready all the time, go heavy on the screen TVs and sport memorabilia. Combine the typical sports bar touches like billiards with the comforts of home, like cushy chairs and photos of family and friends. Our Etched Pilsner Glasses and “Save Water Drink Beer” Bottle Openers will contribute to the theme.
Nook Under the Stairs
If you don’t happen to have a whole basement or salon to devote to your home bar, never fear: it doesn’t mean you have to settle for a bar cart or a dinky corner of the kitchen. This home bar includes a beautiful and contemporary backsplash, block shelving, ample storage, and a faceted self-rimming sink—all without taking up any extra space in the house. Our Spiral Optic Goblets and 3 Hole Balancing Wine Rack would make beautiful additions to your small bar area.
Honeycomb Heaven
There’s something inherently royal-looking about well-executed shimmery surfaces, elaborate accents, and warm hues. This elegant bar stands out with unique honeycomb shelving, underlit marble countertops, and chandeliers fit for a palace. Consider our Versailles Small Chandelier for your own royal accents.
Salon Style
If you like to add a touch of old-timey decor without completely surrendering to a theme, a salon-style bar is right up your alley. Turn a sitting room into a blast from the past with an eclectic gallery wall that reaches up to the ceiling. Elaborate furnishings and dark colors really complete this look. This look can work for a full-on bar or a simple bar cart, such as our Maddox Bar Cart.
Self-Service
Nothing makes your guests feel as at home as the freedom to reach for a drink once theirs have run dry. Sophistication meets user-friendly design in this nifty bar that includes built-in coolers with countertop lids. To achieve this look and functionality, use our Built-in Wine Cooler in your kitchen or basement.
Wine Tasting Bar
If you’re a wine connoisseur, you may be less interested in bar carts and coolers than you are in ample storage. Tap into Mediterranean style and with brick accents and dark woods. Provide intimate seating and warm light for a truly romantic vibe. Arrange our Powell Barstools around a table for two to achieve a similar look.
Elaborate Bar Cart
Bar carts are traditionally minimalistic, more decorative than functional. But with the right piece of furniture, you can have a bar cart that’s nearly as stocked as a countertop bar. Choose a rustic cabinet, like our Wood 2 Drawer Cabinet, and use the drawers and cabinets as open storage. The mirror besides this bar cart gives it the appearance of being even more amply stocked.
