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.
