The home bar – an entertainer's ultimate dream space – comes in various forms, from a drinks cart in the corner of a living room to a dedicated area that resembles a private members club. The latter is the case in Jennifer Aniston's home, and it's just set the standard for luxury home bars, thanks to one material: wood.
Designed by Stephen Shadley, the room combines dark wooden panels with gold lighting – an expert-approved combination that oozes the sophisticated aesthetic you desire in any bar. 'We literally carved the bar into a wall at Jen's and designed the light fixture using found, industrial glass,' Shadley comments. However, size and scale aside, Aniston's home bar offers design lessons we can replicate in our homes. The key is in combining dark wood and gold accents, as designers explain.
