Putting Up Basement Bars the Fun and Simple Way

Basement Bars

A basement bar is a nice addition to your home. It’s a place where you can have a few good drinks with some cool music or exciting TV show and possibly have some friends over. But if you think of a basement bar as a dreadful home project, then you need some help. Basement bars are actually fun to put up, but realistically it needs some real hard work. So here are some tips on how you can get started.

Have a clear picture in mind. Start where it should be started: basic structure. Plan how you would like your basement bar to look like. If you have no idea, it will help if you look at basement bars in magazines. First, study how the basement bars were structured. The basic structures are straight and L-shape. Then, take note of the theme. Eventually you will form an idea for your own basement bar by developing your observations into concrete plans.

Decide whether you want a wet or dry basement bar. A wet basement bar has sink, drain, and ice bin hookups, allowing water into the entire bar system. A dry basement bar apparently has no such water privileges. A wet basement bar comes a little more expensive than its dry counterpart and requires some special construction processes like plumbing.

Allot a realistic budget. Basement bars take a lot of money. From the construction expenses and down to the minutest furnishings, you need to have enough money to spare. Keep in mind that your budget will primarily dictate what the end result will be like. So if you have the grandest idea but don’t have enough money to finance the basement bar project, don’t expect your plan to translate as well as you would have desired.

As with any other home project, building basement bars can either be done by professionals or can be taken as DIY project. Whichever method you choose, make sure your basement bar will turn out exactly as how you planned it.
