Wondering how to make this magic happen? Well then just keep following the post that we will tell you all about home bar and the tips to set up yours, check out:
Where to set up the home bar?
First of all, it's good to clarify one thing: You don't have to have an entire room dedicated just to the bar (though it's not forbidden either). But the important point to note here is that any corner of your home can receive this space.
The most common is to set up the home bar in the living room, where we usually receive visits. But it is also possible to set up the bar in the dining room, in the kitchen, on the gourmet balcony (if you live in an apartment) and even near the lobby. The important thing is that the home bar is in an easily accessible place for visitors and you are comfortable to receive them there.
Another suggestion of space to set up the home bar is under the stairs, taking advantage of a previously unused area. The worktop between the kitchen and the living room can also be used to set up the home bar, especially if your home is small and you don't have much space.
How to set up the home bar
Do you already know where to set up your home bar? Great! Now is the time to know how you should start planning it.
The first step is to define a style for it. Most of the time the home bar tends to match the decor of the rest of the room. That is, a modern home bar combines with a modern living room, a rustic home bar goes well in an equally rustic space and so on.
After defining the style, consider the type of furniture that will be used to accommodate the bar. Some people bet on the idea of setting up the bar on a buffet or sideboard, in a very simple model, but still being original and functional.
Another option is to invest in a planned home bar capable of meeting your needs and wants. This type of bar, in addition to being perfectly adjusted to the environment, has the advantage of having niches and specific spaces for the utensils of the bar, such as bottle holders, counter and cup holder.
There is also the option of setting up the home bar in trolleys such as tea trolleys. This is a bet full of charm and delicacy, but it loses nothing in modernity and style.
Check list of what you can not miss in your home bar
Now we have to know what to put in this home bar, right? At first, the tip is to analyze the type of drink that most pleases you and your visitors. Start with these labels and add some more versatile beverage bottles that allow you to create a good range of drinks.
Also have handy utensils and accessories that bring practicality and ensure the quality of drinks. And finally, glasses and bowls to serve all that was prepared.
Here's a detailed list of everything you need to equip the home bar:
Drinks
- Whiskey (at least two labels, one for drink preparation and one for pure enjoyment);
- Rum (for the preparation of tropical drinks);
- Vodka (essential in any bar, you can opt for a pure and another flavored);
- Tequila (much requested in today's cocktails, have at least one type at the bar);
- Sake (for making smoother and fruit-based drinks);
- Cachaça (to give that Brazilian touch to the bar and prepare that caipirinha that everyone loves);
- Liqueurs (they are an asset in the preparation of different cocktails, as well as being consumed pure. Bet on cocoa, cherry, orange, coffee and cream liqueurs);
- Wines (here it is worth varying a little, after all, every occasion calls for a different label, but have at least one dry red, one soft red, one dry white and one soft white. The sparkling are also good options to diversify);

Mixers
