If asked about our hobbies, happy hour would certainly make the list. And if asked about our favorite design vignettes, we’d definitely mention an at-home bar scene.

But unless you’ve reached Neil Patrick Harris home pub status, most of us are rocking a more compact set-up. While bar carts have long been a designer staple for displaying booze and cocktail accessories, there’s a not-so new kid on the bar block that’s been trending this past year: bar cabinets.

Whether you’re a wino, cocktail connoisseur, or mocktologist (Dry January and beyond), bar cabinets set the foundation for a perfect at-home entertaining moment while maximizing storage space. You can safely stash bottles and glassware inside for a more streamlined aesthetic, and allow the piece itself to shine.

“Bar cabinets can be more of a statement piece, since they serve a special purpose in your home,” Havenly designer Kelsey Fischer explains. “Go for added texture, pops of color, or a unique shape or finish for a truly swoon-worthy look.” Ahead, shop our favorite modern bar cabinets for all your home hosting and toasting. Cin, cin!

1. Rad Rattan

Leave it to CB2 to serve up traditional rattan with a twist. The Avalon bar features sumptuous curves and a pretty brass base with plenty of storage inside, thanks to shelves and divots.

2. A Touch of Velvet

We like our bar carts like we like our Scotch: premium and velvety smooth. This Anthropologie number is a gorgeous statement piece, from the sage green velvet exterior to the brass and wood accents.

3. Sleek and Chic

This Perigold bar cabinet features a two-door storage compartment with shelving for bottles and glasses, plus a drawer for miscellaneous bar items like bottle openers and coasters. The lacquered top is pretty and practical — spills? No problem.

4. Not-So-Basic Black

Kathy Kuo’s Angeline bar cart features intricate carvings rendered in blackened mango wood. The tonal look slips right into a range of design schemes.

5. The Storage Savior

Let your bar cabinet pull double duty when you choose a larger option, like this one from Pottery Barn. Made from metal (with lots of heirloom-worthy patina), it’s a handsome and practical choice.

6. Mixed Materials

This Crate & Barrel bar cabinet features a traditional wood base with a pop of luxe Carrara marble on top. And the metal mesh locking doors are beyond chic.

7. Paneled Perfection

A paneled facade outfitted with brass and marble-ringed hardware makes for one beautiful bar cabinet. This Anthropologie design suits city ateliers and countryside cabins alike. Plus, with room for 12 bottles of wine, this piece is just as functional as it is eye-catching.

8. High Ball

This CB2 bar cabinet is like a tall glass of water (or maybe something stronger). We love the height and mixed materials here: Heavily grained walnut adds a major wow factor, while a marble backsplash is like the perfect garnish. *Chef’s kiss!*

9. French-Girl Chic

The dreamy color and louvered doors speak to Parisian sensibilities, non? All that’s left to do is stock the Keating bar cart with your favorite wines — French ones, of course.

10. Teak-y Bar

This bar cart is teak, not tiki, although it sets the tone for any type of cocktail. We love the removable marble slab on top for a luxe accent.

11. Best of Both Worlds

With one open side to show off your spirited collection and one closed cabinet to stow glassware and knick-knacks, the beautiful Rensselear bar gives you the best of both worlds. We also love the contrasting rattan door with its brass handle. So cute!

12. Mid-Century Perfection

This West Elm bar cabinet features tidy slatting for a subtly midcentury look. Inside, find a built-in wine rack plus storage up top to keep glassware and decanters within reach.

From finding the perfect pieces (like bar cabinets) to suit your space and style, to creating a full on floor plan, book a Havenly designer to help you bring to life your dream space.
