Small liquor cabinet in a mid century modern style
If you’re looking for a durable, beautiful piece that will last you for years, select a relatively minimalist piece in a dark wood! A mid-century modern piece, for example, is distinctive enough to appear stylish but isn’t overly detailed. The parallel lines of this piece draw the eye, and will be easy to match with your existing aesthetic.
We also love a two-toned style moment! The silvery legs on this piece keep it updated and fresh. Consider purchasing a few different sets of legs you can easily swap out for your cabinet, so you can update it as you like.
Whiskey cabinet with farmhouse appeal
Perhaps your personal style veers a little more towards pastels and X-framed cabinets. We love a farmhouse liquor cabinet, particularly when it comes with space for organizing wine glasses and making drinks on top!
When you’re looking for a farmhouse cabinet, you’re looking for clean lines, light colors, and sturdy construction. Much like the minimalist cabinet above, a farmhouse cabinet can be styled many ways….but where the above cabinet is heavy and dark, this one is light and bright!

And you’ll be able to know quickly when it’s time to stock up—you won’t be met with an unfortunate surprise when you have friends over for a drink!
We love a pastel tone on a liquor cabinet to keep a heavy-looking piece of furniture looking fresh and light, too.
Liquor cabinet ideas for a rustic style
However, pastel’s not for everyone. Want your home to look a little more natural, or even rustic? Don’t paint anything. Leave the beautiful luster of wood to look good all by itself!
For extra points, find a cabinet that’s been made out of reclaimed wood. Look for accessories, too, such as a liquor cabinet that includes a shelf, wine rack, and glass storage above!
Wondering what metal pairs best with reclaimed wood for accents on rustic pieces? We’d go with some lovely cast or forged iron in that case.

Whiskey cabinet ideas that include lots of shelving
Like the idea of mostly open storage? While we have to have some closed storage in order to call our selections ‘cabinets’ instead of shelves, you’ll find that this type of liquor cabinet is the next best thing. Featuring tons of parallel lines, a clean white color, and a mix of open shelving, drawers, and doored cabinets, this liquor cabinet doesn’t take up much space—but it will give you the options you need.
To organize a mini liquor cabinet, don’t forget that space is key, so it’s important to optimize it.
If you already have some items inside it, take them all out first. Either way, start by running an inventory and place the same types of liquors together to keep them tidy and easy to find. However, be realistic: if they don’t all fit, consider creating a selection of your favorite spirits, instead.
If you have some room for glasses and barware, think of how many people usually make the most of that mini liquor cabinet.
For example, if it’s just you and your partner, it would make a lot more sense to have two sets of your most popular types of glasses rather than ten of the same ones.
For every aesthetic or style preference, there’s a mini liquor cabinet. If your style is farmhouse chic, modern, or eclectic, you’ll be able to find one for you. The main types or styles of mini liquor cabinets include more traditional cabinets made of metal or wood which usually include interior shelving, or more abstract, conceptual mini liquor cabinets that include ornate sculpture or a creative conceit (e.g. a cabinet that’s decorated to look like an ancient safe).
In other words: Take a look at your current decor and select a mini liquor cabinet that matches for the best cohesion.
The best approach to equipping your mini liquor cabinet is following the principle that less is more. There are certain items that are most useful. A bar spoon and a tall mixing glass are essential. You can also get a jigger to aid in your measurements ranging from half an ounce to two ounces.
Buy a shaker too, preferably, a Boston shaker. A Boston shaker has two parts with one slightly larger than the other. The shaker is also larger than other shaker types. This allows you to make two drinks at a go. However, you will have to purchase your own strainer.
Fortunately, many supermarkets have basic bar equipment available but you could always shop online as well. Alternatively, if you don’t have the budget for these items, you may tap into what you already have in your kitchen.
For instance, a measuring cup could double up as a jigger, slotted spoons as strainers, and metal water bottles or mason jars as shakers. Ultimately, the booze is most important. Everything else is expendable.
