Let’s face it, sometimes you just don’t want to go out. Maybe you’ve already had a long week of peopling, maybe you want to actually be able to have a conversation with your friends over a drink instead of shouting in the bar, or maybe you can’t find a babysitter! Whatever the reason, almost anyone can benefit from having a great home bar set-up. Here are the essentials you will need:

• Great Lighting – Being able to change the mood in your home bar area with the slide of a switch can make a huge difference in mood. Natural light, accent lights, under-the-cabinet lights, decorative light – you need it all!
• Decor – You don’t have to go crazy with the “bar” theme, but focus your bar decor around something that inspires you. Create a unified look and if your bar area is adjacent to another area of your home, be sure the decor transitions well.
• Cool Bar Stools – Well yeah! This is one area where you need to splurge. Choosing the right seat height for your bar is essential. Give your guests enough room beneath the bar/table and above their knees, comfort is key. Extra tip, swivel bar stools are easier to get in and out of if that is a concern of yours.
• Beverage Fridge – A beverage refrigerator that is located right in your bar area will make it easier to quickly refill glasses with adequately chilled drinks. Having it close at hand can save you from having to run to the kitchen every time you are running low.
• Draft Beer – Take it up a notch by adding some great tasting beer on tap. Yes! You can add a draft system to your home bar. Trust us, it will be life-changing.
•  The Drinks – When stocking the bar, the most important thing to remember is that while you will use your home bar for entertaining, your bar’s main customer is you. Stock what you like and when entertaining, share your personal tastes with your family, friends and neighbors.
