Lighting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the features that will stand out the most when designing your home bar is your choice of light fixtures. Pendants and sconces are a great way to go, as they will truly add that luxury vibe to your cocktail serving area. Hang pendants over the bar, and one over the bar table if you take this route. Sconces make great bookends for any shelving or art you have behind your bar.<\/p>\n\n\n
