Want to upgrade your home bar decor setup? Look no further! This post contains 27 of the best ideas for upgrading your home bar decor and will help you create a relaxing space you’ll love coming home to after a long day of classes or work. Of course, we all know a drink is in order after the end of a hard week, but sometimes we need a nice drink at the end of a hard day even!

Maybe you are just looking to spruce up the home bar decor you already have, but maybe you don’t have a home bar yet! Don’t worry; everything you need to create the best home bar is right in this post.

Just picture yourself in the near future sipping on a French 75 and forgetting about all that stress. It’s almost tempting to grab a drink as I work on this post right now! So, here are the best cute home bar decor ideas that you’ll love without further ado.

1. Roll in the Bar Cart

Maybe you don’t actually have a wet bar setup. Most of us aren’t bougie enough to have that! Instead, create a glamorous home bar by using a simple bar cart. Find something metallic with glass shelving for a sleeker look.

2. Create a Chalkboard Sign

A chalkboard sign is so cute for a home bar. Depending on what kind of drinks you have available, you can create a custom menu. It’s a lovely idea for having guests over and creating a fun and engaging way to offer them something to drink.

If you don’t like the feeling of chalk, you can convert this to a whiteboard sign! It’s just as cute.

3. Get Nice Glassware

So, you can’t have a home bar without a nice set of glassware!? Look for a charming matching set of cocktail glasses, tumblers, wine glasses, etc. Pick out a glassware theme and stick to it for a sophisticated look. Or, you can mix and match different colors and brands for an eclectic look.

These rose gold glasses are so adorable. The metallic rim adds a pop to make them stand out even more.

4. Make it Vintage

Make your home bar stand out from the rest by creating a vintage theme because it’s really fun to find thrift store items to repurpose. There is a ton of cool vintage bar decor out there; you have to go on the hunt for it at your local thrift store.

Create a bar cabinet by repurposing an old wardrobe or dresser. A simple paint job and some new hardware can go a long way!

5. Bring in the Bitters

You can’t have a bar without the actual drink mixers! Set yourself up with a good set of bitters so that you can make yourself an old-fashioned any day of the week. Not a fan of whiskey? That’s okay, but consider having different drink options and mixers on hand makes for guests who do! It’s never a bad idea to add to your cocktail-making collection.

6. A Cute Cocktail Set

The best part of having a bar at home is trying new cocktails! Since you can’t be a semi-professional bartender without your very own cocktail-making kit, this one is a must. Try something gold or rose gold metallic to make it feel a little more personalized.

7. Put out a Cocktail Recipe Book

Another fun thing to do at your home bar is to experiment with different types of drinks. A cocktail recipe book is fun for you and guests when you let them peruse your drink selection. Bartending is super fun, even if you’re not a mixologist!

8. Add Fun Wallpaper

Spice up the bar area by adding funky wallpaper. If you want to create a speakeasy vibe, this is the best way to go. Adhesive wallpaper is an excellent option if you’re living in a rental because it’s not damaging and easy to remove.
