Selection rules

initially it is decided why such furniture is needed. If a person does not need to collect a collection and store a large number of bottles, then it is better to choose a small cabinet without expensive additional functions that simply will not come in handy, but you will have to pay for it. It can also be a built-in model with minimal dimensions and options;
When choosing a design, you always need to remember where the bar will stand and how it will look there. The cabinet must correspond to the interior, otherwise it will turn into a "white crow", which will ruin the whole look of the room. For small rooms, angular models are relevant that will not take up much space, will make the empty corner functional;
The bar cabinet must match the color scheme that is present in the room where it will be located. It can be in the tone of flooring, curtains, upholstery, wallpaper or vice versa to create contrast. With radical decisions, it is best to consult a designer so that you do not regret an expensive purchase later;
if there is a need, it is necessary to pre-determine additional options in order not to overpay for unnecessary, but to get what you need. A cupboard with a bar is completely contraindicated for people with alcoholism.

The main selection criteria are:

size - the location of the structure should not be limited by space, otherwise it is better to choose small models;
design, decor, accessories - in this case, special attention is paid to the workmanship, work style, color, additional options;
placement - the most responsible way is to choose the space for the cabinet, so that it does not look like a stranger in the interior, does not interfere, creates comfort and is in its “place”.

Such interesting furniture as a bar cabinet can become a special accessory of the owner who will tell about his well-being or, conversely, a completely useless thing that occupies a precious space. In this connection, it is worth determining exactly how much such furniture is needed at home, what benefit or harm it will bring.
