It may be the Roaring Twenties 2.0 but when it comes to home decor, many of us still favour statement pieces from the past.
Fun 90s homewares have been riding off the back of the decade’s fashion revival, while those who favour the laid back boho look are finding endless joy in rattan, wicker and rich velvety fabrics.
Meanwhile vintage furniture inspired by the geometry, scallops and clean lines of the 1920s are making their mark on 21st century homes. One way to incorporate the look without going full Gatsby on your house is by investing in a liquor cabinet.
Designed to stand pride of place in your living or dining room, it’s the precursor to the drinks trolley trend. An entire cabinet dedicated to your precious spirits, wine and mixers, plus room for your fanciest glassware and drinks accessories - it really doesn’t get more glamorous than that, does it?
If you want to bring roarsome style home, we’ve found the best cabinets, sideboards and cupboards to keep your favourite drinks, ready to impress thirsty friends and family when they come round.
