Your bar is likely to be a major meeting point at your home. Whether you're unwinding with your partner after a long day with a tasty drink or you’re greeting friends and being a good host, you're sure to spend a lot of time at the bar, especially at the weekends and over the holidays. That's why it's important to get the right accessories so this area blends into your home style and creates a cohesive look.

Home Bar Accessories: Cocktail Shakers and More

As dinner parties and quiet nights in with friends become more people’s go-to option for socialising, the home bar is more popular than ever. Brands and companies have noticed and started creating or expanding their ranges within this sector.

Think your bar accessories have to be boring? It’s more than just a quirky cocktail shaker or two as there are almost endless small items that can add a touch of personality and style to your bar. We do stock a wide range of cocktail shakers of course, but they’re in intriguing shapes and materials to match your unique style.

We all know the best drink starts with the glass. This is why we haven’t played it safe by just offering classic shapes like flutes or coupes. That’s right; we’ve introduced so many exciting colours and unique stems into our glass collection. Our textured glasses are fun to hold so they’re sure to get the party started on the right note. Whatever mood you want to create with your beverage creations, we have a glass that will be perfect.

There are also lots of storage options available; whether you’re storing ice, coasters, or garnishes, you can get stylish solutions that hide any potential sources of clutter while adding a touch of class.

How to Use Bar Accessories to Create an Atmosphere

We’d recommend matching your counter when it comes to bar accessories. For example, darker woods complement rich colours like emerald green and deep red. Picking one or two highlight colours that match the tone of the bar and sticking to them for all your new accessories creates a cohesive look.

This is a great way to create a stylish, modern vibe and stop the space looking cluttered. This approach still lets you alter the shapes you’re choosing to add your own twist on the style.

Candles are a great choice for on or near your bar when hosting to add a sense of warmth to the environment (just be careful of your drinks around them). We also have a range of trays, ice buckets, coasters, liquor decanters, drink pitchers and gorgeous snack bowls to choose from.
