Whether you're the consummate host or hostess or just starting to entertain, your home bar is a crucial ingredient in your recipe for success. Here are some tips for making it as sophisticated, chic and stylish as you.
Bar cart
Don't hide pretty tumblers and stirring spoons away in the cupboard! Instead, arrange them in a stylish display on a retro-chic bar cart. Include objects in a variety of sizes and shapes for visual interest. A sophisticated candle holder adds a nice touch!
Detailed decor
By honing in on design details you can make your next cocktail hour shine. Elegant touches, like beautifully designed coasters, high-quality stainless steel ice cubes and a classic ice bucket will elevate your home bar above the rest.
Stylish snacks
Fill a few small bowls with mixed nuts and candy, and serve shrimp cocktail or a delicious dip out of this distinguished serving bowl. A stainless steel round plate is perfect for displaying an array of gourmet artisanal cheeses. (If your serving space is limited, try this smaller design.) Present any condiments in a specially designed serving set.
Tray chic
Use trays to corral related items while also creating an elegant serving tableau. For example, on one large tray, try placing a stainless steel juicer, a flower-shaped basket filled with whole fruit and smaller bowls of lemon, lime and orange slices.
Well-stocked supply
If you plan on throwing a party, make sure you're ready to provide your guests with their drinks of choice. A stainless steel mortar and pestle will let you muddle mint for mojito lovers. Handsome, double-walled stainless steel steins will thrill beer enthusiasts. And a timeless wine bucket is perfect for chilling white wine or champagne.
