Create A Concealed Home Bar With These Kitchen Unit Doors

Incorporating features that align with your interests and allow you to enjoy your space is an excellent way to make a house truly your home. So, if you love entertaining, creating a home bar can be a great addition to your kitchen and can offer a place that’s as perfect for big celebrations as it is for catching up with friends after a long and busy week.

Whether you want to display your glassware collection or ensure that your kitchen has a central point for socialising, there are so many creative ways to integrate a bar area into your space, regardless of whether your kitchen is bijou or much more spacious. Here’s some inspiration to get you started.

Transform Your Space with These Creative Ideas Using Kitchen Unit Doors

Breathe life into an underutilised space in your kitchen

Whether it’s an empty wall or an awkwardly shaped corner, a home bar can give an underutilised space in your kitchen a purpose. Installing a couple of shelves on an empty wall can be all you need to display your favourite cocktail glasses, and you could even mount a fold-down table on the same wall from which you can prepare and serve your favourite beverages. 

There are many other options to explore as well, such as investing in a dedicated bar cart which can be moved easily to your entertaining area or making a set of bookshelves a multi-purpose feature by housing both your collections of cookbooks and cocktail making accessories.

Repurpose an old piece of furniture with new kitchen unit doors 

One of the best ways to create a home bar on a budget is to repurpose an existing piece of furniture. Often, a coat of paint, some new kitchen doors and some chic metallic door handles can be all it takes to completely transform a piece of furniture you may have fallen out of love with.

Pro Tip: New kitchen unit doors can instantly refresh an old cabinet. Choosing kitchen unit doors that match the rest of your kitchen will ensure your concealed bar blends in. However, you could also choose doors in a different colour or style to make it an eye-catching focal point in your space.

Create a pull-out bar in a fitted kitchen 

Integrating pull-out shelves into a fitted kitchen is a great way to maximise space, and it can also provide an opportunity for a concealed bar area. When the cabinet is closed, it will simply look like part of your kitchen, but opening the door will signal that it’s time to relax, unwind and catch up with your loved ones over a freshly made drink and some food.

Pro Tip: This is also a great way to keep your glassware and accessories organised, so you’ll always have everything you need on hand when entertaining.

Accessories make all the difference 

Accessories are a great way to give your home bar a truly personal touch and ensure the space feels like a well-considered feature rather than a hastily put together afterthought. If you want your bar area to be something that catches the eye as soon as you step into your kitchen, installing mirrors and clever lighting can be a brilliant way to create an illusion of space and grandeur.

Pro Tip: Even if you want to keep your bar area concealed most of the time with cabinet doors, don’t forget that you can still accessorise the interior so that you get to experience a party atmosphere as soon as you open the doors. You can really be creative here and incorporate everything from some stylish cocktail shakers to fun storage for cocktail umbrellas or straws.
