INSTALL CLEVER STORAGE
No bar is complete without a display of your favourite food and drinks , however , it ’ s important to be conscious of the size of your building when planning your DIY bar .
Garages and sheds tend to be fairly small , so finding smart ways to create storage is key to a great space .
Installing high-rise , floating shelving which allow for plenty of storage yet cause minimal obstruction is the way to go . Materials , such as timber and pine are perfect for this as they ’ re easy to cut and manipulate but strong enough to hold heavy bottles .
Utilising multi-use furniture is also a clever storage solution for small spaces . Hiding glasses or bottles within a seat or table means you can minimise clutter and keep your garden bar looking neat and tidy .
ADD THE RIGHT FURNITURE
Even with insulation , outdoor buildings tend to be colder than your home due to lack of heating and the construction materials .
To help create warmth and regulate temperature within your at-home bar , it ’ s a good idea to place insulating furniture , such as a sofa , a rug , cushions , or even a tapestry on the wall .
" It ’ s important to be aware of three fundamental points when converting an outdoor building : regulating temperature , protecting fixtures and furniture , and reducing noise ."
These can help recreate the comfy , yet stylish atmosphere found in bars and restaurants whilst adding warmth to the room .
