What is a Bar Cabinet?
A bar cabinet is a drinks cabinet designed to store bottles, glassware, cocktail making aparatus and any number of party related accessories. Bar Cabinets are often known as Dry Bars as they are not plumbed in. Bar Cabinets also make ideal wine cabinets and can be used as wine racks. Bar Cabinets mostly feature glassware hanging space, storage, sometimes drawers and shelves which will allow for a full height bottle to stand.
Where do I put a Bar Cabinet in my Home?
Bar Cabinets are ideally placed in your living room or kitchen. A bar cabinet is typically a mid height or taller piece of furniture and the height of drinks cabinets means that the provide a good counterpoint to other pieces of furniture or kitchen countertops. In living rooms, drinks cabinets work really well in alcoves especially either side of a fireplace. In dining rooms, drinks cabinets are especially effective at the shorter end of a dining table if you have the space.
How to Style a Bar Cabinet?
Styling a bar cabinet is straightforward and they make excellent additions to your home as they are such focal pieces in their own right that the styling required is minimal. The ideal arrangement is a painting or piece of art over the drinks cabinet leaving the top clear for cocktail making. Where you have power nearby, a lamp also works really well and will give you illumination from a higher point in the room.
