There’s something decadent about having your own home bar. Whether it’s a full-blown commercial design or a small nook to relax and unwind, creating a home bar can be a fun and creative experience.
Extend your existing interior style or go a little bolder with acrylic furniture from Muniz.
Muniz is an American company with over 65 years of experience creating custom acrylic designs. If your curious about how acrylic furnishings can help you to create a posh home bar, read our guide for tips on how to decorate.
Choose A Home Bar Design Theme
Part of the fun of having a home bar is the expectation that it will be decorated in a way that creates a particular mood and encourages guests to linger.
Think about your own interests and those you have in common with friends and family. Sharing common interests in your decor theme encourages conversation and relaxation. Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Here are a few design themes that may get your creative juices flowing.
The Back Button Bar
Upload a tech dream bar that focuses on the history of tech advancements and their creators. Just like the back button on your laptop, this bar design invites guests to rewind from the last page of the day.
Who are your tech heroes? Consider posters in an Andy Warhol design of tech creators such as those who may be little known for their inventions for video games and mobile software.
Feature special spirit concoctions with names from some of your favorite inventors or their creations. Incorporate the logo colors from some of the most innovative tech companies in your drink glasses.
Don’t forget sound as a bar feature. Think about computer sounds like a dial-up tone when waiting on a drink or download tech sounds such as an interface option when drinks are served.
Coastal Prep Club
Bring prep style into your exclusive home bar club. Whether you select boating, Old Bay seafood, or a coastal tee time theme, the prep style offers many fun options in bar decor.
The prep style has strong roots in family, athleticism, discipline, and education. Feature photography behind the bar displays of themes from coastal family events and popular north-eastern hangouts.
Choose bold or pastel madras fabric for backdrops and seating upholstery. For a feminine twist, look to designers such as Lily Pulitzer for fabric inspiration.
Diva Lounge
Get ready for high drama and glamour! If you’re a proud diva, show it off with bold feminine style for your home bar. Think sleek and shimmering for all your finishes.
A diva lounge requires bar lighting that flatters the dramatic beauty of all of your guests. Choose a soft glow for conversation areas and elegant spotlights for a fun karaoke mini-stage.
Pump up the volume with accents of feathers, sequins, and faux furs in your decor. Choose furnishings with feminine shapes and high backs for elegant sipping.
Gothic Gathering
Set the mood for dark drama with sleek black barware and smoky mirrors. Invite them in with hints of red or grey accents as you gather for serious contemplating.
Dramatic seating around a circular bar of dark shimmering finishes enhances the mood for sensual sips. Hanging over the bar, a black matte Victorian chandelier gives an eerie elegance to the scene.
Blockbuster Cantina
You can go all-out Star Wars regalia for your cantina or create a showcase for all of your favorite lines from blockbuster films.
What would a Tim Burton or Tarantino-themed cantina look like?
Think adventure and famous quotes for bar decor. Frame them for display or choose neon lighting shaped in one-liners from your favorite films or series.
Acrylic Home Bar Furniture
Acrylic bar stools and tables from Muniz work perfectly for creating a posh home bar from any of the aforementioned themes. Your home bar design should reflect themes from interests that give you joy and relaxation.
Home bar furniture should also be durable and easy to clean. After all, the last thing you want when trying to relax is complications and more work. Acrylic furniture offers these benefits with a high style that can be difficult to find in other materials.
Decoration Ideas For Your Acrylic Home Bar
When using acrylic furniture for your home bar, mix them with other finishes for visual depth and accent with acrylic sculptures and lighting. Choose shapes that flow with your theme.
An acrylic bar top with memorabilia or fabrics that coordinate with the theme can be easily seen yet are protected.
If you envision shelving behind your bar, keep in mind that glass can easily be cracked from bottles of spirits that may be clumsily returned during a fun evening.
Consider custom-made acrylic shelving that is tough but still offers elegance and clear views of glass. You can accent the edges with a touch of shimmer or bevel for a sophisticated display of your favorite spirits.
In your bar design, the decoration can also come in the colors you choose for the frames of bar stools and tables. Acrylic is often associated with the absence of color in clear finishes, but Muniz offers many colors choices to reflect your personalized style.
