Designer Advice:

Bar cabinets with built-in fridges are convenient as they give you a place to chill wine bottles. If you are organized and like having all of your bar beverages in one location then this is a great choice for you.

Designer Advice:

Bar cabinets with wheels let you move your bar from inside your home to outside to your patio. Since they are portable, make sure wherever you place your bar it’s on a flat and level surface. If you don't like the way the wheels look but want to keep them, paint wood blocks and hide your wheels with them.

Designer Advice:

Bar cabinets with a drop-down door are ideal for people needing a cabinet to store hard liquor. These types don’t often come with wine holders and are not a good choice for wine drinkers. They sit higher off the ground preventing you from having to bend over which makes them great for people who have back problems.

Buying Guide

Where to place a bar cabinet in a contemporary home?

Determining where to place a bar cabinet in a contemporary home depends entirely on the layout and the space you have available. Ideally, a dry or wet bar area in your kitchen can house the bar cabinetry, integrated with a beverage fridge, storage for your glassware, and a chic countertop for impressing guests with your mixology skills.

You can build your bar cabinet directly against the wall, or if you have an open layout, consider creating a breakfast bar style setup that incorporates your bar cabinet underneath. This allows you to have a stunning open bar in the middle of your kitchen or living space with contemporary stool seating and the perfect setting for serving drinks when you entertain.

If you’re limited on space, a modern bar cabinet for your home can act as a standalone feature in your dining room next to the table. Use it to house your prized liquors, best glasses, and create easy access when you want to offer guests a beverage.

A bar cabinet is an attractive feature in any contemporary home. It provides versatile storage and doubles as a stylish decor piece.

Are home bar cabinets easy to install?

The ease with which to install a home bar cabinet depends on the type and features included. The more elaborate the bar, the less straightforward and more time-consuming it may be. Modern bar cabinets for home use are often designed with easier set-up these days and come with detailed, easy-to-follow instructions.

If your bar cabinet is a portable version, whether with wheels or not, it will be easy to install as there is no drilling or wall anchoring necessary. If it is a wall shelf unit, you can install it with brackets, much like other types of cabinets.

The least simple to install is the wet bar versions and those with features such as wine coolers included in their design. For wet bars, you will need to consider plumbing needs. For wine coolers or similar features, you will need to consider the electric circuitry needed and the correct air setup to circulate. For these models, it is best to hire a professional for installation.

Are modern bar cabinets easy to keep clean?

Modern bar cabinets for home are typically made from solid wood, laminate, or stainless steel, making them extremely easy to clean and maintain.

Certain cabinets, including painted wooden models, are finished with a high gloss. This allows them to be wiped down easily with a simple water-soap solution. Models with this finish allow you to quickly notice dust and dirt build-up so you can immediately remove it.

Even though modern bar cabinets are extremely easy to clean, you should ensure that you maintain them regularly. By cleaning them often and removing any stains or residue, you’ll be able to enjoy your modern bar cabinet and sustain its aesthetic for years to come.
