One of the most popular trends for outdoor bar areas this year includes embracing nature. More and more homeowners are Incorporating natural materials such as wood, stone, and bamboo into their outdoor bar design. To create a rustic and earthy vibe, consider using a reclaimed wood bar counter or installing a stone backsplash. You can also enhance this natural aesthetic by adding potted plants, hanging greenery, or a vertical garden nearby! These elements will not only beautify your bar but also contribute to an overall sense of serenity and tranquility in your outdoor oasis.
To extend your outdoor entertaining into the evening hours, proper lighting is crucial. This summer, embrace the magic of outdoor lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere. String lights are a timeless favorite—they can be easily draped overhead or around trees and pillars. Mixing different light sources will create depth and add a warm glow to your outdoor bar, so our Wichita deck builders recommend installing solar-powered lanterns or LED pathway lights to illuminate the bar area and increase safety.
If you’ve ever had an at-home bar, you already know that efficient storage solutions are essential for any bar area. To keep your space organized and functional, install open shelves or cabinets to store glassware, cocktail ingredients, and bar tools. Utilize under-counter storage for larger items like bottles and coolers. And, for a more stylish touch, invest in bar carts or mobile islands that can be easily moved around. These versatile pieces not only provide additional storage but can also act as a serving station during gatherings!
Elevate your outdoor bar experience with trendy and functional bar accessories. This season, metallic finishes such as copper, brass, and gold are particularly popular. Invest in sleek cocktail shakers, stylish bottle openers, and elegant drinkware to impress your guests. Add a touch of personalization by using custom coasters or monogrammed glassware. Don’t forget to include a mixology book or tablet with cocktail recipes for your guests to explore.
