The holiday season is the time for plenty of entertaining and celebratory parties, especially at home. Whether you’re looking to serve up something for an impromptu gathering or a Christmas party, you’ve come to the right place. Embrace your inner mixologist and get party ready with an on-trend cocktail cabinet that is sure to become your most stylish ever helper. Read on for our top tips in styling up an uber-chic cabinet ready to throw the perfect party. Because it’s always a cocktail hour, somewhere!

Oh Hi, Cocktail Cabinet!

We love a good bar cart as much as the next person, but the cocktail cabinet is an evolution of the ubiquitous home bar and is a must for any home entertainer. Let’s call it the Mad Men effect. Almost any cabinet or sideboard can become a cocktail cabinet and it’s a streamlined, child-friendly option – just open the doors for instant speakeasy style and easy-breezy entertaining. Once the party is over, just close the doors… until next time!


Style your Most Sparkling, Alluring Items

Consider choosing some gorgeous stemware, metallic trays, recipe books and, of course, flowers on top of the cabinet to create a stunning visual moment as well as a place to shake and stir. Napkins, shakers and a bowl piled high with fresh citrus are some other styling options to create a mesmerising space that will draw your guests in.

Consider Open Shelving or a Glass Front

You don’t have to hide all that cocktail goodness away! If you love a good open shelving look, display all your boozy fixings on an open shelving or glass-fronted cabinet. If your collection of bottles has doubled and you have outgrown your bar cart, an upgrade to a cocktail cabinet could be for you. Keep everything layered and organised inside for maximum party prep ease.
