3. MAXIMISE STORAGE Atkin & Thyme
Glassware and bar accessories multiply faster than you might think, and that’ s before you’ ve added to your growing tipple collection courtesy of our bottle tree inspo on p112! Incorporate dedicated storage for each type of glass, from flutes to tumblers and martini glasses, with pull out drawers or racks that make organisation effortless. Built-in cabinetry and bespoke racking will ensure that your bar feels polished, not cluttered, while still allowing for a spotlight moment for your favourite statement glassware.
4. PERFECT YOUR PALETTE
Colour plays a huge part in creating atmosphere. Deep navy, emerald and charcoal exude sophistication, while warm metallics and jewel tones add a sense of drama. For modern minimalism, keep things monochrome or neutral-core with textured accents, or go bold with maximalist prints and colourful glassware for proper party vibes.
5. LIGHT IT BEAUTIFULLY
Layering your lighting is key. Combine soft ambient lighting such as a statement lamp with focused downlights or LED strips to highlight your bar collection. Dimmable options help create mood for any occasion from cocktail hour to late-night relaxation via New Year shindig.
