For a small home bar: Small home bars can be as simple as a well-appointed bar cart or a corner bar cabinet. Include essential bottles, glassware, and tools. Perfect for apartments or as secondary bar.

Large Space Tips

Large country spaces embrace multiple seating areas, generous dining tables, and abundant collections. Create intimate corners within larger rooms for comfortable living. In a larger home bar: Large home bars can rival commercial setups: full wet bar with sink, dishwasher, multiple refrigerators, extensive seating, and dedicated entertaining space.
