How to Edit Down an Overcrowded Home Bar

The fastest way to improve a crowded bar is to remove duplicates, expired mixers, novelty tools, and bottles you never serve.

How to Edit Down an Overcrowded Home Bar
Editing is the first design move.

Take everything off the shelf and group it by job: glasses, tools, ice gear, storage, mixers, and atmosphere. Throw away expired mixers. Move duplicates out of the main zone. Keep bottles you serve, not bottles you feel guilty about owning. If a tool solves no regular problem, store it elsewhere or give it away. A better bar often appears after subtraction, not shopping.
