1. GO BESPOKE
If space( and indeed budget) allows, commission a bespoke bar unit tailored to your entertaining style. Incorporate integrated wine fridges, ice drawers and display shelving with LED lighting, considered countertops and bespoke joinery to create a unique piece that will seamlessly blend practicality with your own style.
2. MAKE A STATEMENT
Your home bar should be a statement, so why not treat it as a design moment? Create visual wow-factor with open shelving, glass-fronted cabinetry or create an illuminated niche that offers the perfect stage for your favourite bottles and beautiful glassware. For extra impact, choose luxurious materials like marble, smoked mirror or brass splashbacks to add depth, warmth and wine bar-esq sophistication.
