1. Get Inspired
Start with daydreaming! Scroll Pinterest, binge Instagram, and think of your favourite bars. Love cosy wood vibes? Or maybe you’re into neon lights and modern designs? Save ideas that speak to you and imagine how they’ll fit your space—whether it’s a spare corner, garden shed, or living room nook.

2. Set Your Budget
Big spender or DIY pro? A home bar can fit any budget. Start small and add as you go.
- DIY wins: Turn old furniture into bar counters or shelving. Got a desk gathering dust? Boom—new bar.
- Secondhand steals: Check out thrift stores and online marketplaces for budget-friendly finds.
- Creative hacks: No fridge? Use a cooler. Need lighting? LED strips are cheap, trendy, and easy to install!
3. Pick the Perfect Spot
Where should your vision come alive?
- Inside: A cozy living room corner, under the stairs, or even a closet.
- Outside: Backyard bars are a vibe—just weatherproof your furniture!
- Hidden Gems: Try a pull-out bar from a cabinet or a fold-up wall bar for tiny spaces.
4. Design Your Bar
Sketch it out or use our FREE app—this is where the magic happens! Key ingredients:

5. Add the Fun Stuff
This is the moment when your home bar comes to life! It’s time to choose the details that will make your space unforgettable. From cosy bar stools and stylish furniture to quirky decor, every choice helps create a space that feels uniquely yours. And let’s not forget the entertainment—because what’s a bar without a little fun?
- Games: Classic darts, tabletop ping-pong, or even a mini arcade machine bring instant energy.
- Centrepiece: A pool table can double as the star of the room—customize the finish and cloth colour to fit your style.
- Music: Whether you go modern with a smart speaker or nostalgic with a record player or jukebox, great tunes set the mood.
- Vibes: Plan cocktail nights, friendly pool tournaments, or cosy movie marathons to make every gathering special.
From Budget Buys to Luxury Investments:
Start Small, Dream Big
Your home bar doesn’t need to be perfect on day one. Begin with a bar cart, a few drinks, and some cool glasses. Add more over time, and soon, you’ll have a space that everyone will envy.
