Whether you enjoy the occasional glass of wine or are a DIY cocktail enthusiast, furniture such as carts and freestanding bars will help you organize your bottles and glassware of choice. Having the right bar gear will help you make drinks efficiently and impress your guests. The guide below discusses three levels of bar arrangements to suit every preference. 

3 Bar Arrangements for Your Home

1. Stay Simple 

If you don’t make mixed drinks often and are more inclined to wine, a simple bar cart that can double as an end table might do the trick. With space to hold multiple bottles, glasses, and accessories such as corkscrews, this option can be wheeled around easily to entertain in any part of your home. To complete the set, you’ll want to include a decanter that will help aerate the wine and bring out all its subtle, complex flavors.

2. Get Fancy 

Craft cocktails are all the rage these days, and bartenders are finding ways to create unique mixes of spirits, liqueurs, bitters, and garnishes in their concoctions. These artisanal beverages can be quite pricey at your local speakeasy, however. Cut costs by experimenting at home. To keep everything organized, you’ll want a bar cart that can hold all your ingredients, from ice to lemon peels. It should also have space for your unique glassware and the accessories you’ll need to prepare the drinks, like shakers, strainers, and jiggers. 

3. Go All Out

Once you’re a serious home mixologist, it might be time to graduate from a bar cart to a full freestanding bar. While these lack the portability of carts, their visual appeal and functionality make them well worth it. With multiple shelves for storage and special racks for wine bottles, this piece of furniture will have enough room to hold the latest bottle of spirits you’ve acquired. Add a few stylish spinning barstools to recreate the full lounge experience.
