Picture this - it's a hot Sunday afternoon. You wish to make yourself a nice glass of G&T before hitting the sack. Where do you make it? At the home bar. Or perhaps when your friends come over for a chilling sesh on a Friday night and one of them asks for a beer. Where do you fetch the beer mugs from? From the bar cabinet, that's where. It's absolutely criminal (excuse the exaggeration) to not have a bar at home, irrespective of whether you drink or not. And we're going to help you get started right away with these incredible brands that do fun bar accessories.
6 Brands To Help You Set Up A Home Bar Like A Pro
The Artment
The Artment is a classic example of putting (funky) art in "Artment". This Delhi-based home décor brand has the most unique collection of glasses. Hear us out. They have these Tip-Toe Shell Drinking Glasses that are slightly different from your regular whiskey glasses. Similarly, they have these Straw Tail Cocktail Glasses with an actual glass tail extending out. We really loved the Duex Luxury Flute Glasses that look damn cool and will keep your drinks safe. Basically, The Artment has minimalist yet off-beat glassware to fancy up your bar cabinets.
Price: Starting at INR 899
Ekamatra
We found some wicked bar tools, sets and ice buckets at Ekamatra. One which really stood out for us though was this barware set with aluminium fists towards the edge, clasping the rod, making it look like a really cool bar tools stand. It consists of a peg-measurer, opener, cheese knife and tongs. You can also shop for ice buckets that come with a lid and scooper.
Price: Starting at INR 392
Folkstorys
Contemporary, elegant and super-chic is how we'd live to define Folkstorys collection for you. Their pear-shaped metal ice bucket with tongs is top-notch. It gives a very Christmas-y vibe and I'm all for it. Another variant to this is the Apple Copper Ice Bucket which looks equally pretty. If you're looking for fancy booze buckets, Folkstorys has a huge pineapple-shaped bucket that also doubles up as a décor accent.
