Building your Bar and Getting the Finest Bar Accessories

Monday, June 23, 2014

Once you have finished dreaming about your home bar, it is now time to translate this dream into reality and build your special area in the house. However, adding this feature is not simply for enjoyment. The project also entails substantial investment. Therefore, it is important to plan the construction of your bar well before the first nail is pounded. You need to consider the actual location, layout, space, materials, main products, and bar accessories. 


Identify what you really want and look at the options open to you. You can ask a professional to design your bar, but if you are really creative, then go ahead and craft your own blueprint. This is a critical phase, so the layout will help you determine the motif, dimensions, furniture and refrigeration that will suit your tastes. Start going through websites and printed publications and plan to visit some bars in your community. These steps will give you lots of ideas that can be used in this ambitious venture.

There are various elements to consider such as the arrangement of stools, mirrors and bar railings. At the same time, consider what you may need for the carpentry and materials. The size of the standard home bar is about 42 inches in height because standard stools are approximately 30 inches high to guarantee comfortable seating. Your bar can be shaped like a horseshoe or follow a more customary L-shape. Your bar should ideally be tri-dimensional, but this is all up to you at the end of the day. Do not forget to consider the sink, refrigerator, wine rack, and bar accessories. 

As a rule, sinks should be positioned below the front bar and not in the back. Hence, the plumbing and drainage plays a vital role in this aspect. There are many alternatives in choosing a sink that will be appropriate for the space and corresponding design. The cabinets, cupboards and the storage area are equally important, so make sure that these aspects are considered. The last concern is your wine inventory. Ensure you have a variety of red, wine, sparkling and dessert wines to complement personalized tastes. Take into account the blend and brand references of family members, friends and possible visitors. Finally, do not miss your bar accessories since these fixtures will take care of turning your beverage station from functionary to fantastic.
