There are times when you prefer to drink at home in your jammies rather than go bar hopping. Nothing beats a nightcap in your posh home bar, in my opinion. Whatever the reason for your desire for a club-like atmosphere in your own home, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Because your home bar needs more than a filled liquor cabinet, we’ve put together some stylish ideas to get you started. In this article, you’ll find some suggestions for converting a portion of your kitchen counter into a home bar.
Large-Scale Art
If you have a limited area, a big artwork or image will draw the eye and set the tone. If you have a minimalist area, try a black-and-white photograph or a vivid abstract piece to bring some life into it.
Gallery Wall
A gallery wall is one of the most effective ways to bring personality and color to a space. Display a collection of artwork or photographs, or decorate the walls with wall hangings and other memorabilia. Choose frames that are simple and consistent, or bring in a variety of elaborate alternatives to spice things up!
A quick tip: Extend the gallery wall to the ceiling to give the impression of a larger room.
Incorporate an Accent Wall
Consider adorning the walls in addition to putting art on them. Make a statement with an accent wall painted in a striking hue, or add a pattern with wallpaper, stenciling, or other decorative painting methods. In a tiny space, the impact of these ornamental touches can be amplified even further.
Hang Up Mirrors
Mirrors reflect light, which widens and brightens a narrow room. Salon-style, display numerous smaller pieces or hang a large mirror.
Mural Painting
Adding a mural to your walls might transport you to a different location. There’s little doubt that the motif will make a big impression, whether you paint it or use a wall covering.
Install Shelving
If you’ve run out of room on your floor for bookcases, consider mounting your collection on a wall. Hardcover books, tiny sculptures, and other miscellaneous items should be displayed on floating shelves.
Display Sculptural Sconces
Sconces provide an additional source of light while taking up no additional space on the floor or a side table. Choose a design that is both visually appealing and functional as a wall sculpture to draw in light and style.
Go, Greener
Plants don’t have to be confined to the windowsill to be effective. Hanging or wall-mounted planters are a great way to bring some greenery into your area while also bringing some nature into your walls. If you’re not a fan of watering plants, you can use a high-quality artificial plant.
Tap Into Texture With Macramé Wall Art
Those macramé wall hangings from the 1970s are making a comeback in a major way. The weavings bring texture and warmth to the otherwise cold walls. You may buy these on Etsy or make them yourself if you have the time and patience.
Oversized Wall Calendar
A large calendar can be very useful when hung on a wall in an office or kitchen. With a one-of-a-kind design element, you can keep track of your events while also bringing life to your environment. Calendars with bold, sans serif fonts can be used to create a modern aesthetic while also adding a pop of color to your life.
Set The Tone With a Giant Whiteboard or Chalkboard
A large board may be a useful addition to any area, from an office to a playroom to a kitchen and yes even a bar. If you’re looking for a more rustic look, consider a chalkboard, while if you’re looking for a more contemporary look, consider a whiteboard. WriteWallPaint, a paint that turns any wall into a writable surface, can be used to cover an entire wall.
Create a Basket Wall
Add hanging baskets to your wall for a different take on wall decor. No matter what color scheme or style you want, a variety of baskets in various sizes and materials will liven up any empty area.
Personalized Map
With the help of a customized map, you can keep track of your journeys. Decorate your room with a huge world map. Almost any color scheme is available for ordering a customized map of a city, state, country, or the entire world. You can personalize it by putting pins to the areas you’ve been or plan to go to.
Mount Your Television
Is there another route to take? Install your television on a wall mount. In addition to freeing up space on top of your media cabinet, a flat-screen TV can also provide visual interest and a new style to your home. And some TVs are designed to seem like art even when they’re not on.
Create Constellations
Above your headboard, create a mini-universe of your own. This looks great in a kid’s room, but it could work for anyone of any age. It’s a simple but powerful DIY project that can have a big impact: A simple template and white yarn strung between roofing nails are all that is required.
