If you're looking for inspiration for a home bar then look no further. We've collated an extensive number of industrial style home bar ideas and home bar lighting inspiration from our range of vintage & industrial style light fixtures.
1. The Garage Home Bar
Adding a bar area to your garage is a great idea. Tinkering with your motor over the weekend with a beer from your garage home bar sounds like perfect relaxation. This reclaimed and repurposed example below was designed and built by The Nailormade.
The industrial style home bar shares a corner of a garage with a Porsche 911. The bar top is made of reclaimed wood and the lighting is all vintage industrial metal light fixtures. Light fixtures includes footlights under the bar, a vintage wall strip light modified with LED Edison Filament tubes, metal nautical ceiling pendants and in the main garage area there are some large green enamel factory pendants by Thorlux. A great variety of lighting options for this multi purpose space.

9. Shiny Industrial Home Bars
Using mirrors is a great idea not only to help make a small space seem larger, but as with the example below also gives the bar a sophisticated edge. This shiny look can be paired with industrial fixtures and fittings to balance the design and not make it overtly slick. Here they have used multiple industrial style cantilever wall lamps high up on the wall alongside modern LED strips along the edge of the bar shelves. The mirror helps to bounce the light around the space making it feel really well illuminated.
