Happy Hour: 47 inspirations in the corner bar

If you are looking for a simple, elegant solution that fits your space, you can opt for a built-in bar or bar that follows the style of your home.

It is usually a piece made up of the same furniture you have in the kitchen, lights, built-in mirrors, beverage bottle and other utensils. You can hide the bar with a sliding door or keep it visible.

Bar-type trolleys and furniture

If you think a large bar requires a lot of space or money, opt for a cart or a cupboard such as a bar. A cabinet for storing bottles, utensils and glasses already guarantees a nice corner.

Add some fun signs, blackboards, neon lights, clocks, and other decorations that seem appropriate to you. Also add style to your station by applying wall stickers or other accessories. If you’re short on space, invest in creative containers, like a tall vertical sideboard or one with drawers for whatever you want.
