Your bar deserves the same attention to your décor as any other
room would. And since your bar is a place to relax and unwind
are you ready for that trendy barware that will help set the mood?
1. Corkscrews
Don’t underestimate the power of a corkscrew. It’s more than
just a plug. Your corkscrew can have a mix of functionality
and décor with so many styles to choose from pick a theme or
a pattern that’s trendy and fun.
2 . Glasses
You’ve got to have matching glasses for those party drinks.
It’s an essential. Your bar should have 6 good wine glasses,
6 solid rocks, 6 highball glasses, 6 Champagnes, and 6 beer
glasses. Make sure they liven up the party.
3. Coasters
Are an important part of your barware that is often overlooked.
And they are a great way to add a little color and fun to your
bar décor. There are plenty of choices and you have to spend
very little to get a great effect. Add a little art to your
room.
4. Beer Glasses
Every bar has got to have at least 6 beer glasses. The Pilsner
glasses are the best and always appreciated but there are certainly
plenty of other choices out there.
5. Martini Glasses
Think modern cosmopolitan and consider it essential to your
bar décor. They’ll look great and your martinis will suddenly
take on an entirely new flavor. Consider retro polka dots to
really make an outstanding statement.
6. Sangria Set
Every bar should have Sangria set. The tall slim pitchers usually
hold around 70 ounces of fluid and it should have 4 to 8 glasses.
Choose something funky. Art glass is a great choice or perhaps
something with a seasonal flare like polka dots or stripes.
Consider vibrant color.
7. Stir Sticks
If you want a bar addition that’s affordable but makes a big
statement choose your stir sticks well. There are some great
designs and styles to pick from and there are even art glass
sticks which are very trendy. Check out the Mexican choices
with the wonderful glass fruit tops. Will that be bananas, cherries,
or kiwis?
8. Serving Pitchers
Every bar should have at least a couple of pitchers after all
you never know what you might be serving. A beer pitcher is
also handy. Choose hand blown glass, etched glass, bubble glass,
or any of the other fun and funky glass options.
9. Shot Glasses
When stocking a bar shot glasses are often overlooked. Too bad
because there’s nothing more fun than a shot party and with
so many great glass choices you can definitely add some pizzazz
to that bar!
10. Racks
Racks are important to keeping your barware organized and they
can also make a terrific décor statement. Classic wood looks
great and you can mount the racks to fit with your overall room.
Your bar says a lot about you and your tastes. Don’t go lame
and cheap. You don’t want to be the talk of the town for your
poor taste do you? Instead do a little shopping and find trendy
barware that will have them talking about what a classy host you
are!
