1. The Corner Bar

The term itself is self-explanatory – this bar counter can occupy one of the corners of your house. Like in the picture above, an otherwise dead space has been transformed into an extravagant minibar. It is easier to make a choice with an open bar that displays the drinks. Once the drinks are made and the lights are off, the subtle lighting sets a perfect ambiance to enjoy the beverage. A stone counter with a wooden finish makes the appearance classy, while the stone allows for hassle-free maintenance. This will surely enhance the dining-cum-living design when incorporated with an open kitchen plan.

2. The Parallel Bar

You can spread across a similar decor when space is not a constraint. With a circulation space enough for 2 people to comfortably help themselves, the parallel bar counter design has 2 counters parallel to each other. While one counter can be used as a bar table to enjoy the drink, the other can be used to mix the drink. Tall ottomans have been used in place of conventional bar stools, to go with the rich wooden finish. You can use an accent wall to highlight the area.

3. The Kitchen Bar

If your kitchen is spacious enough to house an island counter, the island can double as a breakfast counter in the morning hours, as well as a bar counter in the night. A part of the kitchen counter can be used to mix the drinks and display them, while the island can be used to serve them.

4. The Pull-down Bar

This design makes clever utilization of the television cabinet as the bar counter. This design works best when there is a space crunch, and there’s not ample space to spare for a bar. This design also provides privacy by not flashing your drinks to everyone who visits, because everything is tucked away in a cabinet. The pull-down door acts as both a mixing and a serving table, while the rear-end stores the beverages. The furniture in the living room can be used as the seating.

5. The Pool House Bar

There is no better place for a bar counter to be set up if your house hosts a pool. You can spare a little room beside the change room. Some brilliant pool parties can be hosted with a well set up bar. To avoid mishaps, the flooring in a poolside bar will have to be skid-proof. With a typical counter in front followed by a couple of bar stools, a wall can display the accessories.

6. The Partitioned Bar

The living room can be partitioned into a bar counter when there’s a large space available. In a 3-walled space design, each wall can be used to display a certain accessory creatively, with one wall giving rise to a counter for serving and mixing. This can also be opened up during parties to appear as one space with the living room because it’s partitioned. This way the room appears more convenient and spacious.

7. The Barn
