Typically located in the living room, the home bar is a cozy and inviting space to prepare and have your favorite drink with friends or at the end of a tiring day at work, as Raphael Dias, from RDias Design, points out.
The architect Camila Muniz, owner of studio C/M, teaches that having a bar in the living room was common until the 90's, but the fashion has returned in a revamped form. With the main purpose of having drinks at hand to be served, the small bar is also an enriching decorative element for your living room, bringing warmth and sophistication to the room.
Home Bar Inspirations
As with any decorating project, it is of utmost importance to research inspirations to help set up the space in the safest way.
The furniture needed varies according to the space available, according to Camila. For larger bars, bookcases and large furniture are ideal, but the home bar is usually in a small space in the room. In this case, it is common to find buffets in the environment.
In addition to being support for decoration, buffets have storage space and doors for "hiding the mess".
You can find them in different colors, neutral or eye-catching, and in various materials, such as metal and wood.
If you want versatility and to save space, a sideboard is recommended.
Besides being multifunctional, it can be used in several rooms, in the bar, kitchen, or even as a desk for your home office.
The piece fits best in small spaces.
In this case, it is interesting to combine it with some striking object, such as a large mirror or a picture.
Another piece of furniture widely used in home bar decoration is the cart.
In addition to being used as a shelf to store the bottles of spirits, the cart makes it easy to transport drinks for the guests.
They can also be colored and in various materials, depending on the homeowner's taste and the decoration of the room.
The sizes and number of shelves can also vary according to the needs of the residents.

In order for the bar to be in harmony with the rest of the room, Camila recommends following the same decoration pattern. In case the home bar is leaning against a wall, the architect gives the tip of using it as a background.
5 Items that every bar should have
Regardless of the preferred style, there are items that all home bars need to have in order to be complete. Raphael recommends taking advantage of the decorative potential of these items, adding to the decoration and being careful not to overload the environment.
- Glasses: The glass models will depend on what you usually consume, since there are specific glasses for beer, whiskey, and other beverages;
- Cups: Just like the glasses, the glasses depend on your preference, such as wine glasses, martini glasses, or even champagne glasses;
- Ice bucket: In home bars, only one bucket of ice may be enough, although it is interesting to have others stored for extraordinary situations
- Cocktail shakers: Besides being an interesting item for decoration, the cocktail shaker is also useful when preparing famous drinks such as margarita or sex in the beach.
- Straws and napkins: The straws and napkins can come in many colors, forming part of the decoration.
