Raising the Bar - 7 essential pieces for your home bar

Spruce up your home bar and WOW your guests with these seven chic and practical decorating ideas.

Whether you love bold statement pieces or prefer something subtle and refined, an ice bucket can be a fun way to showcase your taste. Choose from vintage charm, sculptural shapes, or elegant simplicity.
