RAISE THE BAR

There’s space in every home for a bar; in fact, it’s the perfect way to transform an empty nook into a beautiful and useful part of your home. A bar cart is a great starting point, or you can use a cabinet or console instead. Check out the French factory cabinet from Restoration Hardware if you prefer the idea of a cabinet to a trolley – it’s a winner!

 

Cocktail glasses, a statement-making shaker and of course your favourite tipples are next on the list. If you really want to set the scene, you could paper the wall behind or walls around your home bar – choose something fun or decadent and you’ll be good to go. We’ve included two of our favourites in the story.
