Those embarking on Dry January… look away now
This post is a love letter to the art of fashioning a shrine to your favourite tipple at home.
Drinks trolleys and mini bars aren’t just perfect for entertaining – they’re a brilliant way to bring personality, colour and a dash of glamour to your living space. Whether you’re a die-hard cocktail connoisseur or more of a casual clink-and-sip type, there’s something endlessly charming about giving your bottles, glassware and bar tools pride of place.
We love styling home bars of all shapes and sizes – helping clients find the perfect furniture to suit their style and space. From sleek metal-and-glass trolleys on wheels to full-blown statement bar cabinets with open shelving above for serious mixology moments. We also design custom bar cabinetry, channelling our experience from commercial bar design to elevate at-home entertaining.
Why do we love them so much? Well, aside from the obvious, drinks trolleys are small-space heroes. They’re compact, mobile and endlessly adaptable. A well-styled cart becomes a rolling party on wheels – but also a beautiful decorative feature, even when not in use. Think shimmering bottles, cut-glass decanters, maybe a few fresh lemons and a vase of herbs. A styled drinks trolley is part utility, part sculpture.
They’re also brilliant conversation starters. Everyone loves a little peek at someone’s bar set-up – it’s like getting a glimpse of their personality in bottle form.
So whether you're fully kitted out with cocktail shakers and bitters, or just want a stylish nook for your wine and whisky, we say embrace the joy of the home bar.
Here are some of our favourite designs from the archive – we hope they inspire a little home mixology magic.
