Six Trendy Basement Bar Ideas for Your Home

Since the onset of COVID19, we’ve all been spending a little more time at home, especially in the entertainment part of it. Is it time to update your entertainment area in your basement. Perhaps adding a bar or nook area? Are you hungry for ideas on what is trendy or hot right now? Remember when you are ready, TopShop can help provide you the right design for your home, and implement your special dream lounge. If a bar in your basement is on your project list, here are 6 trends for your basement bar:

1. Stylish Wall Bar (for small areas)

If your basement or the area you are looking at for a bar is small, Topshop could help you design the perfect stylish bar. Keeping it simple and easy, a wall bar might be right for your basement. Classy wood wall panels, with floating shelving and a quality countertop, with extra storage and a mini fridge could be the perfect solution for your dry bar. According to an article “59 Best Basement Bar Ideas”, (DIG, 2021) a stylish bar might be right for you, including a smaller budget. 

2. Under-the-Counter Storage Trending in 2021 has been a huge trend in under-the-counter storage cabinets. A benefit to having storage areas underneath is that it keeps the counters free of clutter. According to a recent article on basement trends from Brian Seybring (Bryan Sebring, 2021) Built-in microwaves, ice makers, beer kegerators, wine and beverage refrigerators are coming to the forefront in entertainment ideas, providing not only functional storage, but also a more “pub-feel”.

3. Add a Theme to Show Personality.  Themes in a basement bar area can add a distinctive appearance. If you enjoy rustic, hunting, sports, or even a game room theme like the photo below (Photo Credit to Decora Trends) provides a unique look and useful shelving to your entertainment area.
