Anyone tired of the same old scene and routine, raise your hand. Chances are, if you're reading this article, you raised your hand. So what's the magic solution? What's going to change our lives? While such promises are beyond the scope of this article, a recent development in home interior design is waking people up to a better alternative to dragging yourself out in the cold, wet, humid, or humdrum night. The basic idea goes something like this. Why go out to the bar when you can bring the bar to you? Home entertainment and home bar furniture is literally revolutionizing Saturday nights.
A basement, backroom, or spare bedroom all work for this little home improvement project. Your at-home bar can be as simple or elaborate as your budget allows. While there are no rules, typical home bar furniture usually includes bar stools, an entertainment center, game tables, card tables, and bar consoles. Whether you're striving for old Irish pub, sloppy sailor, or wet and wild New York style (or any other whimsical fancy), the style of home bar furniture you choose can enhance that theme. An inexpensive bookcase can make a great display behind the bar bottles/glasses as well.
The home bar provides oodles of benefits beyond the obvious chance to stay indoors. At your home bar, you can decide who to let in and who to keep out. This creates a warm, cozy atmosphere where you can enjoy the company of friends and family. In addition, you dictate the atmosphere, choosing whether to allow smoking, loud music and dancing. In addition, when buying refreshments in bulk, you will be amazed at the extortion you are saving yourselves from at the typical bars.
In the warmer months, you can haul things outdoors for a totally fun and funky summer theme. Patio umbrellas, lounge chairs, and wicker end tables will enhance the theme and promote a leisure mood. A Hookah (also known as a nargilah) bar is another fun alternative to the regular bar scene. This is a Middle Eastern twist, and often has tables and chairs that are low down to the ground, with lots of carpeting on the walls and floors. Lighting is kept dim, and music traditionally foreign. This could be a fun theme to introduce occasionally into your regular bar.
Why put yourself on autopilot every free night you have, when you and your friends could actually be enjoying yourselves at a fraction of the expense? Deck out your basement or spare room with home bar furniture that will make going to the bar a hit every time.
