Bar Ideas
Style open shelves Open shelves often feature in today’s best designed kitchens. They break up a run of units nicely, adding detail and space for display, but without careful management they can become untidy. So style any open shelving ruthlessly, keeping only the most beautiful pieces out and ensuring the items on display remain ordered, even when in daily use.

When paired with the right lighting, bottles can be a big design accent in a bar. In this Australian home bar by ACT-based The Dept of Design, uplighting on the shelving highlights the bottles – the variety of coloured glass and liquids inside changes things up and gives the shelves a warm glow. And it provides illumination for those using the beer taps below.

In the cupboard Or consider converting an existing store cupboard in your home to a bar – simply add a mirror, shelves and fridge for your own large hotel-style ‘minibar’ at home.
