In this time of social distancing, it is a good time to turn your living space into one of the coolest bars in town.

Home bars are great for socializing with your nearest or just relaxing in your pyjamas with a glass of wine.

A home bar can give some atmosphere to a previously underutilized space.

Decorating your home bar doesn’t have to be daunting, bar décor is meant to reflect your personality and personal taste, it can look how you want. We would like to share a few home-bar decorating ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

Shelves

They not only add more storage, but they can also give more depth to an area. Install bar shelves that are sturdy enough to hold bottles. Floating shelves are an excellent option to create the illusion that your space is much larger than it actually is. Choose between various materials like marble, glass and wood. 

Pendant Lighting

If you are searching for ways to brighten up your bar, you might want to choose pendant lighting. For the past few years, pendant lights have become a favourite for “lightening” the mood. Hang a few pendant lights above the centre of your bar. If you are looking to give your living space a pub atmosphere, opt for lower-wattage light bulbs and soft lights.

Wall Décor

Use your wall space to set the theme for your bar by hanging custom-framed art or even framed sports memorabilia. Why have empty space on your walls when you can add your own personal touch?

• Add a sports theme to your home bar to set the tone for a sporting feel and look.
• Maybe cocktail culture is more your style – you can decorate your bar with art featuring Audrey Hepburn, Sean Connery or other celebrities from the era when cocktail parties reigned supreme. 
• A music theme with framed musical instruments or art featuring musicians is another possibility. Or, create an atmosphere that resembles another country or city with framed travel photos or art.

The possibilities are endless – choose to add wall décor to your bar that conveys your signature taste.

We have included a few options below to show the effect.
