Bar Cabinets

Q: Where should a bar cabinet be placed?

Place a liquor cabinet somewhere that makes it accessible and convenient to use, and to gather near, when entertaining. In or near a lounge or other seating area is best. You want to be able to make drinks for guests easily, or to make one for yourself, and relax with it afterwards.

Q: How deep should bar cabinets be?

In Australia, a good minimum depth is around 45cm, which is enough room for glasses, bottles and other tools without the need to reach too far and overwhelm the room that it’s in. If you’re really fancy and have a wet bar, it will fit a small sink too.

Q: Can a bar cabinet go in the living room?

Yes, a living room or lounge is a good place for a bar cabinet, as you can make your drink and sink into the couch with it, but make sure it’s in an area that’s convenient to use it, it doesn’t take up too much space or interfere with other activities, like watching television. It should also suit the style of the other décor.

Add a touch of sophistication to your evening drink with a stylish bar cabinet, perfect for any occasion from a solo tipple to a cocktail party. Adding both storage and style, a bar cabinet will hold the drinks, glasses and mixing tools in a stylish and organised way.

Types of bar cabinets

Wall bar cabinet

A liquor cabinet that sits against the wall, with or without legs. Find it in a closet style, with the glasses and drinks behind closed doors, or shown off in an open-fronted design.

Corner bar cabinet

A corner bar cabinet is a drinks cabinet you can tuck away in the corner, to save space and add an attractive furniture feature to your room.

Mounted bar cabinet

A liquor cabinet mounted on the wall can save space and add character. This style sometimes comes with added features like hooks to hang your wine glasses.

Bar trolley

A cabinet on wheels, a bar cart, aka drinks trolley, adds cocktail cool to your home and allows you to move the party to wherever you want it.

The advantages of high quality bar cabinets

A good quality bar cabinet is going to look great in your home, with skill in the design and its craftsmanship; it will be something you want to display and use. You don’t want to have a cabinet door come off its hinges while you’re entertaining guests, and that won’t happen with a well-made alcohol cabinet. It will also be something that you can keep for many years, even decades, hosting drinks for milestone birthdays, engagements and gatherings with friends and family, before passing the sentimental piece of furniture on to the next generation.

How to choose a bar cabinet that is right for you

Choose something you love and will want to use, that looks good in your home and that’s practical for your space and the people who live there. Put the cabinet somewhere with enough space around it to gather to make drinks, and don’t hide it away - it’s a piece of furniture to display. If you have children, hide your precious cocktail glasses from their little hands behind cabinet doors or on shelves that are out of reach. If you’re putting up a wall-mounted cabinet, choose your spot carefully and make sure it’s easily reachable and usable. The style of the bar cabinet should be thought about in the context of the interior design and decor of the room itself. Some homeowners like to match them with other cabinets such as cupboards, sofas and lounge suites or TV units in the space for a bit of design cohesion but the choice is ultimately up to you. For a more organised living space, think about adding a stylish storage trunk. This versatile piece not only helps keep your things organized but also contributes to the overall aesthetic of your room.

How tall are bar cabinets?

Bar cabinets come in various heights in Australia, depending on the style you choose, though typically they are designed to easily make and serve drinks, so will stand at around one metre high. Wall-mounted styles may be shorter but placed at a height where the drinks and glasses can be easily reached.
