Make Your Happy Hour At Home Count — Home Bar Decor Ideas
(5 min read) Whether you are a fan of colorful fruit cocktails or serious ember liquids, a home bar would be a perfect addition to your home oasis. Sleek and fun, home bars can be perfect eye candy to make your home look luxurious and inviting.
A Real Bar
This probably sounds like it takes a lot of work, but when you really think about it the bar counter is just a supported wooden board, right? On that note, a built-in bar isn’t such a huge investment, especially considering the payoff it might have. Your bar can also be used as a breakfast counter, a separation between two rooms, and much more. Not to mention that once you’ve built in the counter, all you’ll need are a few easy bar stools and a bar cart or two. Once you’ve got those, the happy hour can officially commence!
Add A Mirror
Even if you add just a tall mirror stripe on the side, you can be sure that it will look amazing in your bar area. It will make your bar look more commercial and it will make it appear larger in size. Glass shelving will also fit in perfectly with the mirror, giving it that polished and sophisticated look. This particular type of bar decor is perfect if you are building a bar area that will be a part of your dining room. In this case, your bar is supposed to stand out, but overrule the rest of the space, so this particular mix of glass and mirror will work like a charm.
Wall Bar Is A Thing
Wooden floor cabinets, brass bar carts, and even repurposed dressers are all great. However, if you would like to have a bar, but your home is too small, a wall bar is just the thing for you. It has all of the essentials of a regular bar, but it won’t take up any of your space. All you have to do is choose the right design and fill it with the right liqueur. This particular type of bar will work best as an integral part of your dining or living room.
A Wet Bar Isn’t Difficult To Build
In fact, you don’t even have to build anything all that special. If you’ve already opted for a particular look, but you would like to have a small sink there as well, then do it. A built-in sink is easy to fit into any kind of countertop, but you are probably more worried about the water installation anyway. However, there are plenty of easy solutions on the current market that will surely fit your particular style and bar decor.
Mosaic Will Make It Unique
Sure, you want your bar to have that commercial design, but you don’t want it to be a shiny clone of the rest of the bars you saw here and there, right? Even the simplest mosaic pattern will make your home bar look stunning. Whether you opt to put it on the countertop, add it as a backsplash in your wet bar, or mount it on the wall behind is of no importance. Mosaic will work its magic anywhere.
Your designated bar area should exude style and exclusivity, but it should also look pleasant and alluring. We are well aware that all of that can be a hard combo to accomplish and maintain, but we hope our advice helped nudge you in the right direction.

Those are great ideas. At first, before reading, I thought you’d need lots of space for a bar, but you proved me wrong
These are some lovely examples of home bars. I think I can adapt some of them for my own use.
We don’t have a built in bar at our home but I have a few family members that do and they are absolutely great! One has a tiki bar and it’s a popular hang out because it feels like you are somewhere else. I have not heard of a wet bar though but not I know! I didn’t realize that adding it around a faucet in the house make it that. I suppose that makes sense for folks that want to maximize space.
There are a lot of gorgeous ideas here and I really love those green seated bar stools. Thanks for sharing all of these ideas.
I love the idea of a home bar – maybe we will squeeze a small one in when we redo our living room. Some fabulous inspiration here!
These are all great looks. I really enjoy the monochrome gray layout.
Oh yes adding mirror will make your bar look more modern and it will make the bar look bigger. I wish I had enough room for one.
So so cool all the deco ideas shared here, I’m in love with almost all the photos shared here. I wish you own a bar at home too. Cheers
The wire stools do make the room look bigger. I really like the look.
Home bars are really popular at the moment. I do love the variety of styles that are available to choose from.
What wonderful ideas. I love the retro looking cocktail bar and the one that is wooden with the hanging copper glasses. They look fantastic.
This is really giving me so inspiration, as we are planning to remodel next year. Love those stools with the velvet and the bar is very cool too x
These are some of the fanciest bars I’ve ever seen! What a way to upgrade…who would ever want to go out for a drink?! Love the designs and styles.
I don’t really drink but I love a bar aesthetics. I would love to have one at home, especially with lovely worked walls. It doesn’t have to have alcohol in it, right?
Wow! These are great ideas. I agree with you that mosaics will make it unique. We’re actually planning to add it as a backsplash in our wet bar. Thank you for sharing this.
Those decor ideas for a home bar are really interesting. I will definitely share these to my friend who is renovating her place.
I have always wanted a home bar. This for sure motivates me to get one for my home too.
We don’t drink all that much but I still want to have a really nice home bar, mainly for entertaining. We have a small one, but these ones look so impressive x
Ooh I would love a stylish little bar area in my home but alas I don’t have the space right now

I love these home bar ideas, they are so cool. I need one in my home but I just don’t know where it would fit. Time to make some room!
I really do love the variety of home bar options there are available. They can look great in the home.
Some of these really look great – a happy hour at home will be a lot cheaper too lol
Wall bars are a great idea. I have been planning to add some in my home.
What amazing home barr ideas, I would love a few of these in my home, sadly I just do not have the space
These are great! I really like the one that hangs on the wall, with a place for all the corks. Decorative, and functional!
These are some cool ideas. I will love to have one home bar area as well.
I’m not much of a drinker myself, but I love the idea of having a bar inside the house. Because like you said it doesn’t HAVE to be used for serving alcohol; I’d make the perfect breakfast nook or counter for smaller, intimate gatherings if you don’t want to use the whole space. Someday I hope to have one for such purposes!
I love the bar decor. Themixed media mosaic bar counter would look lovely in our home.
Adding a mirror to any space is such a good idea. It really opens up an area and brightens up a space – especially a bar!
Those are all wonderful bar decor ideas to have in your home and the designs are wonderful.
I love these ideas! I think they are so cool. I have been planning to put a bar in my house!
As we all like to congregate in the kitchen area, all these ideas look really cool. So many variations and options!
These are all so interesting and creative! I love the hexagonal tiles without a solid border. It would be fun to have a home bar.
These are some great ideas of how to have a home bar. I love the addition of mosaics and the wall bar is great for making the most of space.
Having a bar at home feels so glamourous! Having a mirror can really open up the space as well – so many great ideas here!
Oh wow how fancy having a bar at home . I’d definitely be tipsy most of the evenings for sure 🙂
I really need to do something more with our home bar. Thanks for the inspiration!
So many great choices here. It’s time to invest in a home bar!
Great ideas here. All I wanted for my home upgrade is a bar.
