8 Beautiful Home Bars And Games Rooms To Inspire Your Own

From swanky drinks corners to modern games rooms, here are some of our best ideas for designing an entertaining zone.

Design Storage That’s Specific

This at-home cocktail room by Haynes-Roberts has shallow-depth cabinets with mirrored inserts that hide away barware essentials.

Make Your Entertaining Zone Work For You

This lower-level space by Sarah Baeumler has a full-size fridge, pantry, dishwasher, wine fridge and ice machine so you never need to run up to the kitchen.

Light It Well And Blend It In

Great lighting is a must for a living room games table. Furniture and accents should mix seamlessly with your existing decorating.

Transform An Armoire Into A Bar

Furniture cabinets can easily be converted into concealed bars with ample room for glassware, decanters and bottles.

One Room Will Do

While many games areas occupy multiple rooms in cavernous basements, you can do a lot with a single room on the main level. For instance, if a formal dining room isn’t needed, try turning it into a cool spot for table tennis.

Keep The Look Cohesive

Your games room can look just as chic as other rooms at home by matching materials and finishes. Here, a blue-felt pool table on a handsome wood base dovetails with the palette and aesthetic in the adjoining room.

Make An Unused Corner Überfunctional Functional

Created by Commune Design, this suspended boomerang-shaped bar top proves you don’t need a lot of space to create an intimate entertaining zone.

Find Storage In Unique Places

What a pleasant surprise and good use of space to find this fully stocked bar hidden in a dining room wall. The eye-catching blue lacquer interior makes it even more special.
