How to make a bar in an apartment. How to make a home bar: location options and interesting ideas (60 photos). An old bulky electrical appliance can be turned into an original minibar. To do this, you need to disassemble it with a screwdriver and carefully pull out everything inside

A bar in the interior is a solution more typical for European countries But it is gradually gaining popularity in Russia, among people interested in the culture of drinking alcoholic beverages. After all, you can just drink, or you can make a whole art out of it. Find out how to do this in more detail later in the article.

Why is it needed?

Actually, this determines the two main tasks of any bar:

• Alcohol storage. In order to drink once with friends, you don’t need to store anything; you just need to buy a couple of bottles before the meeting. But this is not enough to calmly and gradually drink your favorite drinks. Cognac for coffee, a shot of good liqueur for an interesting book, a glass of whiskey after working day. It is difficult to purchase drinks every time; it is much more rational to store several bottles on different cases life.
• Mixing cocktails. In order to drink an alcoholic cocktail, you can go to a club, overpay there several times and leave with a headache. Or you can set up a bar at home and turn drinking cocktails into a hobby that will not only take time, but will also help you start drinking less.

In general, having a bar at home - either a large bar or a minibar - is a way to reduce alcohol consumption. Of course, it is not suitable for binge alcoholics, but for people who are just starting to feel that something is wrong, it may well help.

Stationary bar

Setting up a stationary bar at home means acquiring a bar counter, a rack for bottles and plenty of useful devices like shakers and special cocktail glasses. This solution is pretentious, beautiful, but suitable exclusively for country house or very large apartment- otherwise it will simply not be possible to allocate space for it.

This bar includes:

• Bar counter. Tall, narrow, with obligatory lighting hanging from the ceiling and metal pipe for dangling accessories, it looks great. It's nice to drink alcohol while drinking alcohol - you can feel like a hero of a Hollywood movie.
• Bar stools. Tall, necessarily suitable for the height of a specific stand, with a footrest that allows you to sit comfortably. They can be executed from different materials, but should fit well with the stand.
• Actually, a bar. Located behind the counter, it includes open shelves on which you can place bottles of alcohol. Everything should be at hand, everything should be in sight, everything should be easy to reach. Wood and glass are usually used for making.

This design is for aesthetes. It’s sad to just drink it, but you need to drink it meaningfully, beautifully. The style that is usually used is loft or classic English. More natural materials, discreet natural colors.

Under the counter there must be special shelves with arranged accessories, and next to it there must be a portable refrigerator with a supply of ice.

Advice

It is best to allocate a separate room for such a bar, since it immediately grabs all the attention and is completely incompatible with either the kitchen set or the living room set.

A separate room for a bar - only when space allows

Mini-bar

If a stationary bar requires a lot of space, then a minibar will fit perfectly in ordinary apartment. The only thing you will need is more or less up-to-date repairs - otherwise the bar will break down and spoil the entire interior.

With a bar counter - standard option

Design

First of all, you need to decide on the design, and the first point depends on how obvious the presence of a bar in the room should be:

• Built-in. Built-in bars can be seen in hotels and sometimes in offices. As a rule, they are hidden behind paintings, behind an inconspicuous piece of wallpaper, or simply seem like an ordinary cabinet. It is extremely easy to fit the built-in structure into the interior; you just need to choose the appropriate door.
• Closed. This bar is a cabinet that is either hung on the wall or placed on the floor. Equipped with doors behind which the contents are not visible. It can perfectly complement the interior and no one needs to know what’s inside.
• Open. Such bars are rare, since all decent alcohol requires protection from sun rays. But if you are not going to buy something expensive and will use frosted bottles, this solution will suit you.

Open option for use

Also plays a role:

• Capacity. As a rule, a regular home minibar can hold up to thirty liters of alcohol. For home use this is more than enough, and larger models are required by serious collectors. They cost more and take up more space, so if you plan to limit yourself to a dozen bottles, you should take the standard size.
• Number of branches. The number can vary - from one to four or even five. Sometimes small drawers are added to them in which you can store tools and additional small items. This is a matter of beauty rather than convenience.
• Temperature. Different alcohols require different temperatures. Some things can be stored exclusively in a cool place, while others require relative warmth. If you need a standard set - vodka, whiskey, cognac, wine, liqueurs and something non-alcoholic - then you should take the standard average temperature regime. But if your collection is extensive, expensive, capricious, then you should choose a minibar with different temperatures in different departments - from five degrees to seventeen.

And, of course, it is important how the minibar will look. It could be:

• Standard built-in. This one is almost invisible in the interior - it’s not an accent, no one entering will recognize any difficulties in fitting it in.
• Locker. Hangs on the wall, looks like small locker, usually wooden. It fits well into classic interiors, but in modern ones it will look good in the form of a rack with glass shelves, for example.
• Nightstand. Placed on the floor, it usually looks like a standard buffet, only small. As a rule, it is replete with compartments for small items.
• Barrel. An original design that will fit exclusively into classic interiors, which looks quite funny and may hint that the owner has a sense of humor. This is especially good if you have the most wine in your bar.

• Globe. One more original design, which looks like a real globe. To get the alcohol, just flip the lid. It will look good in the interior of an office in a classic European style.
• TV. Do you have an old ray TV lying around, but the repair leaves much to be desired? Make a highlight out of it! Remove the kinescope and insert shelves into the free space - the result is an original and simple minibar.
• Safe. You don't want anyone to know about your hobby? A minibar in the form of a safe will perfectly keep your secret. It can be placed in the office, or it can be built into the wall. Many models are equipped with electric combination lock so that only the owner can gain access.
• Table on wheels. It usually looks quite funny, has a round shape and allows you to move the entire bar along with its contents to the desired room.
• Rack. If your bar will be mostly filled with wine, then a classic rack with honeycomb-like compartments will do. Bottles will be stored horizontally in it, which is the most correct way, and it will perfectly suit the interior in the spirit of Italian classics.

Table on wheels - funny and interesting

You can make a minibar with your own hands, or you can buy it - the only difference is whether you want to spend time and effort on making it.

Location

The minibar can find its place in different rooms- and it will look different everywhere:

• Kitchen. The minibar looks good here in the form of a cabinet similar to lockers kitchen set. So it doesn’t stand out and fits well into the interior. You can, however, go the other way and buy something original, but suitable in style. For example, a barrel in a modern Scandinavian style or a wine rack in a kind of patio.
• Living room. Guests are received here, and if you are going to drink with them, you can highlight the presence of a bar. To do this, you can either give it a separate corner, or simply build a cabinet into the set, which, nevertheless, will stand out.
• Cabinet. If your whole life is spent in the office, then you can put a bar there. The most common design is in the form of a safe. After all, no one will be surprised that you actually have it.

Other rooms are not very suitable for the location of the structure. The hallway is a walk-through area; nothing important is placed in it. The bathroom is wet, and it would be strange to install a cabinet with alcohol in it. In the nursery - even more so.

You can, however, put a bar in the bedroom by choosing any design you like.

Filling

It doesn’t matter what task you started it for - as soon as it’s installed, the bar needs to be filled.

There are a couple of simple tips for this:

• Start with one bottle. The alcohol that can be served in a bar is usually expensive and elite. Not everyone can afford to buy the full collection at once, but one bottle is quite possible. They usually start with something they love. It’s especially easy for those who have opened a bar to mix cocktails - a bottle of strong alcohol can be used in more than a dozen recipes.
• Don't drink everything at once. If you have a habit of drinking a lot, try to break it. To do this, start one bottle first, then the second. If you want to drink, drink a little, and the alcohol should be expensive - you won’t drink a drink that costs several thousand as often and in the same quantities as its cheap counterparts.
• Don't invite friends. You usually want to show off your bar right away, but it’s better to do it later, and invite only those who are able to stop at a small portion. You should not drink in company until you have at least your third bottle.

The standard bar consists of the following drinks:

• gin, and you need to buy it, even if you don’t like it by itself;
• vodka, by no means cheap from the nearest store, but good and expensive;
• whiskey, in two forms - bourbon and scotch;
• rum - white and aged, two bottles required;
• orange liqueur - used to make cocktails;
• vermouth - sweet and dry, also primarily for cocktails;
• brandy, cognac and tequila.

From this set you can assemble a huge number of cocktails, plus with it at the bar you will always find something to drink. You can supplement the collection with wines, cider, beer, other liqueurs except orange - in fact, any alcohol that you like.

Advice

Get into the habit of keeping ice in the refrigerator, not just one mold, but two or three. Without it, alcohol and alcoholic cocktails are rarely drunk.

Accessories

To prepare cocktails, the bar (even if it is mini) needs to be supplemented with the necessary accessories. There are not so many of them that you can’t do without:

• Shaker. Cocktail ingredients are poured into it and then easily mixed. There is a classic one, which consists of three elements that can be separated, and a Boston one, which looks like two glasses superimposed on each other.
• Mixing glass. This mixes ingredients with the same density, which are easy to mix.
• Bar spoon. It looks like a regular one, but has a very long handle.
• Jigger. It is also a measuring cup, with which you can easily determine the volume.
• Strainer. Helps strain the mixture.

Additionally, a blender with a juicer function is useful - with it you can prepare fresh juices. Everything else is essentially optional.

• Hangers for glasses need to be made using wire that is already in use. To make them more reliable, the corresponding fittings can be purchased at a hardware store.

If the minibar will stand near the wall, one of its sides can be made blank. If you install two wheels inside under the table at a short distance from each other, wire bottle holders may not be needed.

There are several methods for making a mini bar out of a canister. Each of them implies preliminary preparation container from which you need to remove the smell of gasoline or oil. For this purpose, acoustic soda and other strong detergents are used.

A distinctive feature of creating a mini bar from a canister is the need to use non-standard instruments, such as:

• Bulgarian;
• drill;
• file.

The 20 liter canister must be washed and marked accordingly using a marker. After this, you first need to run a bur along the line. After this, you need to cut out the drawn future door using a grinder.

Location of the minibar in the interior

It depends on how and where the structure is placed general atmosphere rooms. The ease of use also depends on it.

For the Art Nouveau style, bars are made floating. The play of light is important here.

For convenience, the bar is installed between the living room and the kitchen area. It’s extremely convenient when there are a lot of guests and you find yourself in two places at once.

You need to consider what kind of alcohol you plan to keep in the bar. So, for example, wine cannot be stored in a room where there is high humidity, a lot of sunlight and too warm. This will spoil the wine. The ideal place would be to install a minibar in a closed cabinet.

The minibar is the face of the owners. It is important to follow the rules for storing all alcohol, as it tends to spoil if stored incorrectly, which will lead to the fact that you may be left without high-quality alcoholic products at the event.

A minibar will allow you to look like a cordial and hospitable host in the eyes of your guests. It can store completely different drinks for every taste. And there are a lot of design options for such structures.
