Bringing the Bar Home

Home bars are going through a revival and popping up almost everywhere. Beyond the fashion factor, bars can be useful when entertaining at home for storage, display and serving. Instead of stashing your alcohol collection away, why not keep it visible and on display? This also creates a great conversational point for entertaining guests and confining the party to a certain area. The gorgeous Cincinatti Buffet Sideboard has been designed in true retro style and would make a great addition to a retro or contemporary home. This retro piece has a glamorous feel featuring a walnut front surrounded by white lacquer. The cast brass handles and legs finish the piece off, making this a stand out piece.

If you have a passion for retro, you’re bound to love the Danish Teak Bar Cabinet. This unique vintage Danish piece was designed by Illum Wikkelso and features tambour doors which open to reveal glass shelves and pull out serving trays. Made from a beautiful teak, this is a collector’s item sure to be loved for many years to come.

For a more contemporary addition, the Albany Trolley is a great way to not only store and display, but also move the bar from one space to another. This shiny chrome piece would look great stacked up with your collection of drinks and barware and conveniently fits into smaller homes and apartments. The wire rack on the bottom shelf secures any bottles on the trolley, removing the possibility of having them topple over. The wheels are also lockable keeping the trolley stationary when needed.
