Bar and Wine Cabinets: Entertain in Style
Do you love to entertain in your home? Do you want to treat your guests to a truly sophisticated and luxurious experience each time they attend one of your gatherings? If so, perhaps you should consider incorporating the use of a bar or wine cabinet into your home's décor. Far from being just ornamental furnishings, bar and wine cabinets are very practical when it comes to entertaining a large group of friends. No more would you have to serve drinks from a counter top or have to weave your way in and out of guests to get more glasses out of the kitchen cupboards. With bar and wine cabinets, everything is conveniently and beautifully organized right at your fingertips. And bar wine and cabinets add a sense of sophistication and style that cannot be accomplished by other types of furnishings. Whether your home's décor is formal, country or modern, there is a wine or bar cabinet that will perfectly complement your individual space, personality and sense of style. Take for instance the Bealle Steet Oval bar and wine cabinet by Powell. This wine cabinet is breathtaking and is vintage-inspired with sophisticated, tropical Dutch West Indies detailing framed in woven rattan with faux leather accents crafted in select hardwoods covered a lightly distressed two tone "Bahama" finish. This luxurious wine cabinet features includes storage for 12 bottles, 2 drawers, 2 doors, 2 adjustable shelves and 4 unique rattan galleried storage shelves on either end. If you want a lot of style from a bar cabinet but do not have a great deal of space to devote to one, perhaps the Mardi Gras bar and wine cabinet would be perfect for our space. This beverage cabinet is both elegant and functional and features beautiful hand painting over Black Analine finish. The top flips open and slides to a center position for twice the serving surface. Doors with Antique Pewter handles open to reveal enough storage space for up to 22 bottles and 14 glasses. This bar and wine cabinet also features drawers for added storage and keeps everything snugly nestled inside when not in use. If you prefer something a little more casual, maybe you would enjoy the multi-functional Casual Bar Cabinet with Marble Top. This cabinet doubles as a kitchen cart and features a medium distressed oak finish with a green marble surface, two towel racks, a center drawer, a 4-bottle wine rack and two shelves for accessories or cookbooks. And it does not take a great deal of money to upgrade your entertaining space with a bar or wine cabinet. You can take your space from ordinary to extraordinary for under $1000. Some bar cabinets can even be purchased for just a few hundred dollars depending on your tastes, needs and wants. As you can see from these few examples, there is a large variety of wine and bar cabinets to choose from. So if you are looking to add that special something to your entertaining space, perhaps you should browse the large selection of wine and bar cabinets. You are bound to find something that is just perfect for you and something that will make your next gathering a phenomenal success.
