Bar cabinets are a beautiful and smart addition to any modern home renovation. In fact, an in-home bar usually has an ROI (return on investment) of approximately 70%. Therefore, these cabinets add to a home in terms of both design and functionality. Home bar cabinets are especially valuable to a potential home buyer who loves to entertain friends and family on a frequent basis. They add ample storage space for serving platters and drinkware, as well as cocktail mixers and alcoholic beverages.

How are Bar Cabinets Different from Other Cabinets?
Bar cabinets differ from other types of cabinets mainly in the function they serve within the home. While they are still standard cabinets, home bar cabinets have the specific purpose of keeping drinkware for cocktails and various dishware for nights spent entertaining.
As far as the actual cabinets go, they are crafted of the same high-quality materials, but the unique design of bar cabinets like wine racks and stemware racks sets them apart. If your bar cabinets are in the same vicinity as the kitchen cabinets, it’s a good idea to match the style when you are designing in order to create a cohesive look and feel.

Can Bar Cabinets Enhance the Look of Your House?
Bar cabinets certainly can add to the overall look and feel of your home. From modern to vintage bar cabinets, these cabinets work alongside the furniture and décor within your home to create an enhanced design. Plus, having a designated wet bar in your home complete with a mini-fridge and generous countertop space is a luxurious added amenity.
This countertop area has the ability to serve as an eating area and moves guests out of the kitchen into a space specifically dedicated to entertaining. This type of design will give you more room to prepare snacks and drinks while the kitchen is used for home-cooked meals giving guests more space to socialize and relax.

Modern Bar Cabinets
If you’re particularly drawn to a modern design and want to carry that from the rest of the home into the bar area, then a modern bar cabinet is the way to go. There are many directions you can go design-wise, from light and bright to dark and sophisticated.
Additionally, there are several options that can be added to for a more luxurious design like a stainless-steel dishwasher for cleaning drinkware and serving platters, an added sink, or a coffee bar for serving cappuccinos to your guests.
As far as bar cabinets go, shaker style is the most modern choice and it’s available in many beautiful colors from classic white to deep ebony. Glass cabinet door panels are an elegant, elevated touch terrific for displaying your favorite drinkware, fine dishes, and home décor pieces.

Mini Bar Cabinets
If you have a smaller home and want to incorporate a wet bar design into your kitchen, a mini bar cabinet might be the best choice for you. There are many ways to incorporate it into your kitchen design, without compromising the functionality of the space.
One of the most convenient ways is to install wine rack shelving is within the kitchen island. These shelves can serve as a make-shift wine rack and storage for drinkware, serving dishes, or other essentials. This type of mini bar cabinet adds an element of refinement and interest to the design while maximizing the space available to you.
Another terrific design approach would be to select a corner of your kitchen countertop and transform it into a bar cabinet area. Like a kitchen coffee bar, you can get really creative with storage and display all your colorful mixers, beautiful drinkware, and cocktail-making supplies.
You can truly customize this area to best suit your needs and style, even when you’re working with a smaller space. Your CliqStudios designer can help you come up with a customized design that checks off each and every item on your wet bar wish list.
