If your home decor style is best described as mid-century modern with a luxe twist, this Corrie Cabinet is just the pick for you. The curved silhouette elevates any living room or kitchen, while the spacious interior is ideal for stashing barware, liquor or anything you want, really. Where it’s lacking in traditional bar cabinet features (like a wine rack or cocktail glass holder) it makes up for in chic presentation.

For home dwellers whose budget has no boundaries, this arched cabinet is certainly the way to go for a few reasons. Not only does it boast slots for a whopping 18 bottles of wine, but the exquisite design is also drool-worthy. We especially love that the cabinet doors are clear glass, making elegant cocktail glasses the focal point (as they should be).
Plus, there are two marble-topped drawers to hide anything unsightly, like all those wine openers you’ve collected through the years. For the cherry on top, it comes in endless colors to match every aesthetic.

Did someone say, cottagecore? We love the vintage feel of this distressed cabinet made from firewood and engineered wood that’s just waiting to be scooped and decorated with eclectic barware. The fixed wine rack holds 12 bottles while the exposed and concealed shelves offer plenty of storage space. Bonus: This beauty arrives fully assembled, so there’s no need to break out the toolbox.

While some bar cabinets offer concealed storage, others act as a centerpiece to show off your display-worthy kitchen gear like a wine decanter and beautiful drink pitchers. That’s exactly what you’ll get with this exposed cabinet with a white marble tabletop. Modern and elegant, it boasts ample wine bottle storage and a cocktail glass rack. It’s ideal for home decorators who crave a functional storage piece as stunning as their entertaining gear.

Available in four wood finishes, this beloved rustic cabinet is a top pick among shoppers—and it’s clear why. It offers plenty of tabletop space for serving or decorating barware just like you would a bar cart. But the real kicker is the concealed wine glass rack and lofty interior storage space. If you have a hard time keeping your entertaining gear organized (who doesn’t?!), this classic pick is for you.
Bar cabinets should have shelving, drawers, racks and other storage methods for bottles, glasses, shakers, decanters and accessories. Some other basic things to keep in the bar cart are garnish picks, cocktail napkins, mixing tools, coasters, humidors or even cocktail recipe books.
This is entirely up to the user and the layout of their space. If a home bar is right off the kitchen, having their cabinets be a different color than the kitchen cabinets can create a sense of separation, giving each their own aesthetic and space. However, those that want a cohesive design between the kitchen and bar should have their bar cabinets in the same hue.
A home bar should be between 41 and 43 inches high, which is slightly higher than the average countertop. However, those within certain height ranges may consider taller or smaller models.
