How To Style A Drinks Cabinet For The Festive Season

Add a Festive Touch with Ornamental Pieces

This time of year, all the seasonal ornaments and decorations come out, and where is better than your drinks cabinet to be the perfect festive backdrop? Becoming the star of your seasonal celebration, whether you are hosting an intimate family affair or a grand holiday soiree. For a refined touch, style with antique candle holders to frame the space and create a warm, inviting glow. Glass and crystal ornaments can add a luxurious touch. Place these subtly among your glassware so they can be elegantly lit up by your drinks cabinet lighting for an extra bit of sparkle. For a more festive statement, drape some greenery or a seasonal garland across the top, or around the edges of the cabinet. This not only adds visual interest to your drinks cabinet but exudes festive sophistication. To make a bold statement, why not switch out your usual crystal glassware for something with a bit of colour, we love Bonadea for their elegant coloured tumblers or Maison Margaux for their seasonal tableware shop.

Key To Choosing Bespoke Cabinetry

The key to success lies in choosing accessories and objets that harmonise with both your cabinet’s design, and the style of your home. For a more modern, paired back interior, and cabinetry with lighter finishes, consider a more minimalist approach. Think soft, metallic accents, such as brushed brass, or brushed gold serving platters, or candle holders. Maybe your interior is more traditional, with rich wood tones? Why not embrace the festive theme and pair deep reds and greens with luxurious gold bar tools and crystal decanters for that timeless look. You could even incorporate vintage-inspired accessories, such as an ornate cocktail shaker or heirloom glassware, will elevate the cabinet’s charm and imbue it with nostalgic warmth.

Balancing Between Coziness and Entertainment

When styling your cabinet for a drinks reception consider how your guests will be served. For a more relaxed gathering, a self-service setup allows guests to craft their own cocktails with everything beautifully displayed in your drinks cabinet. For a more sophisticated soiree, you might serve drinks yourself or even hire a professional bartender to elevate the experience. In this case the location of your drinks cabinet in is key—ensure its easily accessible yet seamlessly integrated into your drawing room, creating a functional and elegant focal point, allowing it to command attention to its beauty and purpose.
