5 Tips to Style Your Sideboard as a Bar
Turn your sideboard into a chic bar with these styling tips!
With Mother's Day, wedding season, and summer soirées right around the corner, it's time to plan your beverage situation for entertaining! Put your sideboard to good use as a bar or drinks station for an event or even on a more permanent basis.
Turning your sideboard into a bar is a creative use for this surface and can help spread out the zones for better party flow. If your sideboard has a wood finish, I recommend investing in a glass topper to protect against spills.
5 Tips for Stying Your Sideboard as a Bar:
No. 1 Start with a Big Tray
This provides the foundation for your bar style. I love to use a big vintage brass one or a painted tole. These trays are also great for catching spills.
No. 2 Set Out the Right Glassware
Once you decide on what you're serving, you need the right glassware for the right drink. When offering a variety of beverages be sure to provide wine glasses, cocktail glasses, and low balls to cover your bases. Give your bar style that extra pizzazz with colorful glasses like these aqua opaline goblets.
No. 3 Add Small Containers
Little pint glasses, bowls, and cachepot can be so useful to corral small bar essentials like cocktail napkins, picks, coasters, and more.
No. 4 Invest in a Punch Bowl
A punch bowl is multipurpose! You can serve a delicious punch recipe out of the bowl or add ice and use it to cool down your favorite bottled beverages. This beautiful silverplate one is available in the shop.
No. 5 Mix Beautiful Bottles with Decanters
For a more eclectic laid back look mix the aesthetically pleasing liquor or wine bottles with glass decanters. This way the sideboard turned bar doesn't feel too fussy or overly done.
I hope these tips to style your sideboard as a bar help you amp up your entertaining game. Cheers!
