Creating a Home Bar Area with Wallpaper
Want to refresh an area of your home but not sure where to start? Why not zhuzh up your bar area? From humble workhorse bar carts to built-in shelves, bar areas are a fun opportunity to spice up your space. No matter your style, wallpaper can add personality and set the mood. If you’re not drinking or you’re doing Dry January, these style tips could work just as well for a coffee bar or any small nook in your home that could use an update. Let’s get rolling!
So Boho
Try a rattan bar cart for a casual bohemian vibe! Potted plants, books, and wicker baskets with extra cushions make it feel homey and laid-back. Our Cactus Garden wallpaper blends well with the other natural elements—the warm tones and hand-drawn style match the easygoing vibe of this bar cart. With a natural flatwoven rug, this space feels effortlessly beachy. Best of all? This pattern can be printed on either classic wallpaper or our renter-friendly peel-and-stick wallpaper to match your DIY style!
Go Geometric
Our Spearmint wallpaper is vintage-inspired but feels contemporary. Here, it matches the geometric shapes of the furniture and the wine rack, making it feel a little Mid-Century Modern. The blue-green hues coordinate with the drawer, wine bottle, and plants in vases, giving the entire space a cohesive look. The color palette is crisp and fresh, perfect for inspiring refreshing summer cocktails. Mint julep, anyone?
It's Giving Gatsby
Art Deco style, with its characteristic geometric patterns and glamour, can be timeless. Our Jazz Age metallic wallpaper, part of our Moderna collection, has a delicate gold shimmer along the lines of its lattice. This metallic element matches perfectly with the gold bar cart and feels glitzy, decadent, and special—the perfect backdrop for brunch mimosas, happy hour cocktails, or just fresh flowers in a vintage vase. Cheers!
Monkey Mayhem
This Florida pool room bar designed by Gertrude Street is full of personality. Featuring our ever-popular Drunk Monkeys pattern (designed in collaboration with Andrew Alford), this bar has layers– the more you look, the more you find. The glass shelving allows the monkeys to be visible while also displaying family photos and memorabilia. This bar is perfect for whipping up a pool party cocktail, and is sure to be a conversation starter.
Whether you’re updating a coffee bar, adding a backdrop to a bar cart, or creating a dramatic showstopper of a bar, wallpaper can help you achieve your dream home bar. We can’t wait to see what you create!
