Home Bars


There’s nothing quite like entertaining at home. Inviting friends and family members over for drinks is a brilliant way to socialise and make the most of your living space. Whether it’s a hot summer’s day and you’re planning a barbeque or garden party, or it’s the run-up to Christmas and you’re organising a festive get-together, what could be better than a luxury home bar?


Research suggests that entertaining friends and relatives at home has become increasingly popular since the pandemic. In the last few years, a growing number of people have renovated or revamped their homes to create social spaces for dinners, drinks, brunches, parties and movie nights. Since 2020, Brits have spent more than £2 billion adding home bars (source). If you love the idea of hosting at the weekends or relaxing with a refreshing drink at home on a Friday night after a busy week at work, this guide has all the information you need about home bars in the UK.

Home bars for personal use- What are the benefits?

Bar crawls and cosy evenings at the pub are great, but sometimes, nothing beats being at home. With winter nights looming large and many of us eager to make the most of our homes and gardens, the thought of winding down at your own bar at the end of the day is incredibly alluring. Home bars provide a space you can use for socialising, relaxing, having fun or experimenting with mixology. Having your own bar at home can also be a cost-effective, convenient way to spend quality time with loved ones and enjoy your downtime. 

Here are some of the main benefits of home bars:

  • Entertaining made easy

One of the best reasons to install a luxury bar at home is to make entertaining easy. Many of us love to spend time with our friends, colleagues, neighbours and family members. If you have a bar at home, you can arrange gatherings at the drop of a hat and turn your home into a social hub. 

  • Save money

It’s no secret that going out can be expensive. If you’re planning a bar crawl, a night out at a club or a day at the pub, you may find that you’re spending a small fortune on food, drinks and travel. With a home bar, you can enjoy all the fun of a day out or a night on the tiles without blowing the budget. 

  • Drinks you love on tap

There are few things more disappointing than a lukewarm, flat or tasteless drink when you’re gasping for a cold beer or you’ve been looking forward to an exotic cocktail all week. Home bars provide drinks you love on tap, ensuring that you’ll enjoy every beverage you pour or mix. 

  • Add value 

Home bars can add substantial value to your home. They maximise usable living space inside and outside and they can set properties apart, making them more attractive to buyers.

  • Make your home unique

Adding a bar to your house is an incredible way to add style and personality to your home and make it unique. You can choose from a vast range of styles and designs to suit your taste and the kind of vibe and ambience you want to create.

How to choose the right home bar

There’s a stunning range of home bar designs on offer, so how do you go about deciding which luxury bar is right for your home? With bespoke design options, it’s possible to customise ideas and plans to suit your taste and the style of your home. Here are some essential factors to consider when you’re putting ideas together for the perfect home bar:

  • Size

Home bars come in all sizes and shapes. When you’re creating a vision for your new bar, it’s beneficial to measure the area and think about how you can configure the space to make the most of every usable inch. Bars work in every room, and they can turn even the most compact spaces into fabulous entertaining areas.

  • Style

Everyone is unique and we all have a different sense of style. You can use your home bar to channel interior design trends and themes or opt for something that showcases your personality and creative flair. If you’re struggling for ideas, think about places you’ve visited or seen on TV, browse online galleries and social media and don’t be afraid to mix and match trends to design something special that is unique to your home. 

  • Budget

The cost of adding a luxury home bar to your home varies hugely, according to the size and shape of the bar and the materials and fixtures and fittings used. If you have a budget in mind, we can work on plans that fit within your price range. 

  • Finishing touches

One of the most fun aspects of designing a home bar is adding finishing touches, which set the space apart. The details often make the difference.
