Summer’s here, and I’m all about hosting backyard parties. But you know what makes a party even better?
A cool bar setup!
And guess what? You don’t have to spend a ton of money to have one.
IKEA is the place to go for cheap and stylish stuff. And this awesome bar hack from Stefani, an architect and interior designer, is the proof!
She used simple IKEA pieces to make the best bar station ever, perfect for wine nights or big summer parties.

It’s Not Just a Bar
This bar is super useful.
Actually it’s a place to store things, show off your drinks, and even a spot to sit. And you can make it your own!
Whether you like simple things or lots of colors, you can make it fit your style.
And you can use it anywhere!
It looks great in your backyard, dining room, garage, or even your living room.
With lots of room for bottles, glasses, bar tools, and snacks, plus a big countertop for mixing drinks and showing off your fancy garnishes, this bar has everything you need.
The Best Part? It’s Affordable!
Yes, you read that right.
You don’t need to break the bank to achieve bar goals. Seriously, you can build this bar for less than $300
That means you can save your money for the good stuff – like top-shelf liquor!
Gather Your Supplies
Ready to build your own? Here’s what you need:
| Component | Quantity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IKEA KALLAX 4-cube shelves | Three | Main structural units of the bar, providing ample storage space. |
| IKEA KALLAX wine inserts | Two | Designed to store and organize wine bottles within the shelves. |
| IKEA countertops or tabletops | Two | Used as the bar’s surface for placing drinks and snacks. |
| Optional: IKEA KALLAX shelf inserts | Two | Additional inserts for enhancing storage capacity within the shelves. |
This is the best part: putting your bar together. It’s easy, even if you’re not good at building things.
Here’s how she did it:
She put the three KALLAX shelves in a row, added the wine inserts and extra shelves, and then put the tabletops on top.
Tip: Add some LED strip lights underneath the tabletops for a cool, modern vibe.
That’s it!
That awesome bar is ready for your next party.
