Building The Perfect Home Bar: The Foundation

When building the perfect cocktail area at home, you first have to start with the foundation. And, when attempting any home design project, you have to ask yourself some questions:

How much space do I have? How many different types of cocktails do I plan to make? Where do I plan to drink, and do I want my bar to be portable? 

These are all questions that will help you determine the perfect bar foundation for you. Some of us are short on counterspace, and may need a portable bar cart or furniture piece. Some of us may not have any space for new furniture, but can make space for the bar on a kitchen countertop. Some of you may want portability, and opt for a bar cart or a tray that you can convert by using a butler stand. Whichever of those people you may be, there are lots of great options out there once you know what you’re looking for.
