4 Key Factors in Designing an At-Home Custom Bar
Do you enjoy entertaining guests and friends often? Do you love going barhopping but it’s getting expensive and can’t fit your budget anymore?
There’s no reason you can’t enjoy happy hour at home. You may want to consider adding a custom bar space to your crash pad. When custom designing an at home bar, there are 4 key factors that you need to decide on.
1. Bar Countertop Space – There needs to be enough space to make drinks and for your guests to enjoy their drinks. Optimally, you do not want these spaces on the same countertop. Think about a regular bar, the bartender has their own wet bar counterspace to work on, and the customers have their own to enjoy their drinks on.
2. Storage – When designing a custom bar space, you need to consider the drinks and tools that you will have and where you will be storing them. This is where custom cabinets come in. Custom cabinetry becomes very useful in this instance, as you can design them based on what you will have in them. The design of the cabinets can change based on things like the type of alcohol, tools, temperature control, and many other items.
3. Access to Plumbing and Power – It is smart to put a faucet and sink in the bar so that you may use it for dumping and ice (and the occasional glass of water). So, you want to make sure the plumbing is set up for the customized bar. Most bars have appliances, and appliances need power. Depending on where you decide to place your bar, you may or may not have power there. You want to make sure to talk to an expert who can meet your power needs.
4. Bar Space Quality – This is the most important piece: your bar space must be comfortable and fun for you and your guests! If nobody is having fun, what is the point of building it in the first place? Take into consideration things like location, furniture, features, television, etc.
