Where can I place a bar cabinet if I have limited space?

Bar cabinets add a touch of charm to your home, and when you’re working with a cramped area, bar cabinets for small spaces are the ideal solution. Bar cabinets come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so there’s a way to incorporate an area for your prized liqueurs.

For apartment dwellers whose home entryway is right off the kitchen, consider using your bar cabinet to double as a buffet table near the front door. You can select Wildwood or Capri bar cabinets with storage below and a surface for housing keys, masks, and other items to grab on your way out on top.

If you’re setting up an entertaining area in the basement, your bar cabinet can live in the unused area beneath the staircase. Turn the area into a dry bar with your bar cabinet, wall mounted shelving for glassware and a mini fridge.

The failsafe solution for a bar cabinet when you’re short on space is to choose a compact unit with casters, making it easy to roll out of the way when you need extra room.

What size bar cabinets are there for small spaces?

Bar cabinets for small spaces can come in a few different sizes to best accommodate the room that you have in your home. Typically, a bar cabinet won’t be smaller than 12- to 16- inches wide, to allow for at least a little storage and some working area. In addition, you can expect a bar cabinet to be between two and four feet tall. Don’t forget to start by measuring your existing space and adding on a few inches to each dimension before starting to shop for your ideal bar cabinet!

Are bar cabinets for small spaces worth it?

While you may think that bar cabinets for small spaces are just an alternative to traditional bar carts, they seem to be everywhere you look. In fact, they are not just a coincidence but are soon to become the next big home decorating trend.

So if you're looking to infuse more character into your small spaces, then using bar cabinets for small spaces is a great idea. However, aesthetics is not just a reason to invest in these pieces of furniture; practicality and functionality are key.

While it's definitely an upgrade to the bar cart, they are also investment pieces. Since you can fit them into most small spaces, they're ideal if you have little ones running around as they eliminate the risk of your wine getting destroyed during a game of hide and seek.
