Bars and Bar Cabinets
A bar is a piece of furniture that has made a comeback alongside the mid-century modern style. It combines storage functionality with a display purpose – bottles and glasses showcased behind glass are a decoration in their own right.
Types of Bars
Freestanding bars resemble a small display cabinet or dresser – they offer ample storage and look great against a wall. Bar carts can be rolled over to the table when guests arrive; this is a solution for smaller spaces. Wall-mounted bars save floor space but require sturdy installation – full bottles can be quite heavy.
What to Consider
Check the height between the shelves – a standard wine bottle is about 32 cm tall, and many decorative bars have lower shelves. The glass holder is also important: hanging glasses upside down take up less space and don’t collect dust inside.
If the bar will be placed in a sunny spot, choose a model with solid doors – light can damage wine.
Where to Place the Bar
In the living room, it is most often positioned next to the relaxation area or near the entrance to the dining room. It naturally pairs with bar stools at the island and a bar table, and visually complements display cabinets and shelves in the same finish.
The offer is complemented by corkscrews and bottle openers as well as trays. You can also find bars in striking forms in mid-century modern and glamour styles.
