Those who are always having friends and family at home to share good
drinks may want to invest in a
home bar (or bar at home) – and we guarantee that it is a great choice. Very versatile, it is possible
to include it in a simple corner of the house and still achieve good results for both taste and decoration. According to architect
Bruno Moraes , even with little space "you can be creative when setting up a little bar in the comfort of your home". Below, check out tips for investing in yours!
Where should I put the bar at home?
To facilitate get-togethers, it is essential that the
home bar is
close to common areas , such as the living room, gourmet balcony or dining room. Another space that can accommodate the bar is the kitchen – which even helps with handling food and drinks.
What type of furniture should the bar house?
Before choosing furniture for the bar, you need to think about the profile of the residents as well as the needs of the space. For those looking for
greater practicality in circulation or who want a
more intimate bar , the ideal is to store drinks, glasses and glasses inside a piece of furniture such as
a bookshelf or a more modern china cabinet , for example, or create niches especially for this purpose.

The best material to house your drinks may depend on the type of drinks that will be served – after all, some of them stain more than others. "The ideal is to opt for
lacquered or waterproofed furniture or tops , to guarantee a longer useful life. In the case of stones, check which ones absorb the most liquids, as they are at greater risk of leaving marks."
Space-saving ideas
According to the architect, for those who live in a lean-to apartment, it is possible
to store bottles in cabinets or shelves in the kitchen , or share the bar with the café space, for example. “The important thing is that everything is discussed”, recommends Bruno. Another idea is to make
custom furniture to save space. "To do this, the ideal is to measure the size of the glasses, bowls and utensils to then define the height and width of the shelves. And, as already mentioned, a good idea for corners is to use
carts or drinks tables , especially for those who only have a corner for a minibar. "It's very charming, by the way", he concludes.
