Solid Oak Wood Home Bar

HB Home

The gray stain finish on this oak home bar is complemented by its black glass counter and mirrored back. Ambient lighting at the top of the unit has an automatic off-switch whenever the doors are closed. Two rows of pullout wine racks sit at the bottom, below two drawers and one open shelf.

Designer Advice:

When closed, this solid oak home bar looks just like an armoire. But open the two full-length doors, and four extra shelves on the back of each door are revealed for more bottle and glass storage. Durable piano hinges give the doors incredible strength and a smooth opening and closing feel. When fully closed, the wine bar measures 38" wide. You'll need 76" of space when both doors are open.

Buying Guide

Which wood should I choose for a home bar?

Choosing the wood for your home bar is a big task, but you can’t go wrong with classic oak. A wooden home bar creates the atmosphere of a traditional pub in the comfort of your own house.

Oak home bar furniture comes in all shades and finishes, guaranteeing you’ll find the perfect match for your patio or rec room’s decor. There are multiple benefits to selecting oak wood for your home bar, especially since oak is an affordable wood.

Oak furniture is extremely durable as a heavy hardwood and possesses a gorgeous wood grain that gives your bar a beautiful visual appeal. Oak is commonly used for wood flooring or kitchen tables and cabinetry because it can withstand frequent use and wear and tear.

Oak is a versatile option suiting any home design from French country to a rustic farmhouse or a Scandinavian modern aesthetic. It all depends on the level of detailing performed on the wood.

Other stunning options include Spanish cedar or cherrywood for a traditional bar or white maple for a minimalist, modern aesthetic.

Will oak home bar furniture last longer than other materials?

Oak home bar furniture can last a lifetime with the proper care. Oak is a durable hardwood that is resistant to warping, making it ideal for home bar use.

Compared with other materials such as powder-coated steel, stainless steel, or plastic, oak has a higher tolerance for vibration and pressure, meaning it is less likely to become brittle and break. Oak home bar furniture also typically comes either sealed or varnished, ensuring that it is moderately weatherproof, whereas furniture made from metal would be prone to corrosion.

The oak finish won’t last forever, but you can have the bar professionally resurfaced when it shows signs of wear to give it new life. You can prolong the life of your oak home bar furniture by regularly dusting and polishing your bar with a specially formulated furniture polish or linseed oil.

How often should oak home bar furniture be cleaned and waxed?

Oak home bar furniture should be waxed at least every six months and cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene standards as well as sustain the furniture. Waxing your oak furniture forms a lasting seal and nourishes the wood. Performing this process as recommended allows your bar tables, buffets, and other items to last for a lifetime. In addition, by waxing your furniture at least every six months, you are protecting the grain of the oak, ensuring it is crack-resistant, and keeping its finish in the best condition possible.

Clean your oak home bar every time you use it, ensuring you wipe up spills immediately. This prevents water stains from developing.

The best and easiest way to clean your oak home bar furniture is by making a mixture of olive oil and vinegar. Mix one part vinegar with two parts olive oil. The best way to apply this is to decant into a spray bottle and wipe with a cloth; however, you can dip a soft cotton cloth into the solution, wring until damp, and rub gently over the surface.
