Bar Furniture

You finally built what you have always wanted for your home. You chose the counter tops, sink, and other décor. But alas, the area in front of your bar's high counter is bare, the space preceding it a blank slate. This is the time to pull out those magazines and decide what bar furniture most appeals to you.

Of course, you will want to pick something that will match the style you have already chosen. And also keep in mind the number of friends you may be entertaining at once, and also the limits of your budget.

The best place to start in a situation like this will be the bar stool. Something so seemingly simple will have hundreds, if not thousands of choices available to you. Indeed, several genres are available, including retro and contemporary. Different materials are used also, from metal to wood and even plastic. For all intents and purposes, unless you have built a behemoth of a bar, you will only need two to three stools at your counter. This number will allow for each guest to have plenty of room to maneuver. A good budget to have for this would be about four hundred dollars. This amount should ensure good quality.

Next, for the area immediately surrounding your bar, an unassuming lounge area would be appropriate. There are many sets available on line, ranging in price from five hundred to a few thousand dollars. Depending on your budget, you could get something really amazing that would fit your already chosen style perfectly. For a small to moderate home bar, a table with four chairs would be adequate. You should always make sure your guests are comfortable and have plenty of accessible bar furniture to sit in.

A few more pieces should complete your look. Tall lamps could cast varying degrees of light on your new set up, and add more depth. Depending on what you will serve most of the time, a nice wine rack will add a touch of sophistication.

This is your bar. Most likely, it's something you have been wanting and planning for years now. Have fun with what you choose, and always remember, you should like it most of all, not anyone else. Show your unique personality.
