The novelty of a home bar will always endure. Whether it's a retro bar cart adorned with bar accessories or a nook designated for making drinks, there's something infinitely special and inviting about a home equipped with a bar.
With the Holidays fast approaching, I'm on the lookout for ways to make my little home bar feel guest-ready. While the beauty of a bar is its year-round appeal, there's no denying that the festive period is when our drink-making stations receive the most action. So, you can imagine my joy when I spotted actor Emma Roberts' chic 'pouring station' that's effortlessly chic and surprisingly easy to recreate in time for Christmas.
Featuring a vintage wooden cabinet, an ornate mirror, and plenty of bar accessories, Emma's cocktail station is simple yet impressive. It proves that no matter the size of your space, there's always room for a drinks corner.
