If you love putting together new drinks and entertaining family and friends than having a home bar should be on your next to-do list. Nothing screams entertainment quite like having a home bar. Before you begin customizing your home bar you want to figure out exactly where you want it. Keep in mind if you want your home bar to have appliances or filtered water you want to choose an area in your home that has the needed hook ups. Here are some home bar ideas that will modernize your entertainment space.
Stocked Bar with LED Backlighting Display
Why showcase your favorite drink of choice with a simple backdrop lighting when you can have LED backlights that change according to your mood? Having a stocked bar means offering multiple different liquor beverages that are on display for all to see. To add to the stocked bar pair it with LED lights to really bring out the entertainment space.
Basement Corner Space
If you own a basement then you know how quickly it can become another storage room. Instead of having your basement be your storage space, consider having a basement corner bar. Take the corner space that is right under the stairs that lead down to the basement and create a custom bar. Selecting lively neutral colors such as white, beige or pastel gray help brighten up the space.
Custom Built-In Wet Bar
Your home bar space does not need to be a full-on bar with LED lights like the first idea we mentioned. Instead, you can have a custom built-in wet bar. This idea works great when you have a corner or space in the kitchen that is not being utilized. Instead of creating another counter space, consider adding a custom built-in wet bar that doubles up as your entertainment space.

Many home bars consist of neutral tones such as gray, black or silver. When it comes to modernizing the home, bar consider adding a bright, colorful backdrop to the bar space.
