Welcome to our Festive Cheers bar, where kitschy holiday magic meets sophisticated retro-inspired style. This season, we created a cozy, inviting bar area perfect for festive gatherings and holiday cheer. While I’m most thankful that our holiday merchandise flew off our shelves, I am sorry to report that this space no longer looks quite like it does in these images. So, these inspirational photos have to do until Tipsy Santa decides to reappear next year (will he? Won’t he? It will be a surprise!)
The Heart of the Bar
The bar, with its sleek black finish and luxurious marble top, serves as the heart and soul of the room. Brass railings and a foot rest add a touch of elegance, while a swag full of silver picks, festive ornaments, and red and green ribbons adorns the front, adding some holiday flair. Atop the bar, you’ll find coupe glasses with delicate pink details and festive gold shakers, ready to mix your favorite holiday cocktails. Jars filled with whimsical ornaments add a playful touch, while a marble and silver three-tiered stand holds stemless wine and low-ball drink glasses, each adorned with holiday-themed details like candy canes, snowmen, Christmas trees, and Santas. An adorable snowman sits atop the bar, holding two serving trays with drinks ready for you to enjoy. Cheers to that! A hammered brass metal dome pendant hangs above the bar, casting a warm, inviting light that sets the perfect scene for holiday gatherings. It’s the perfect spotlight for your festive fun!
Festive Shelving and Decor
Behind the bar, two matching bookshelves are decked with festive pink and green champagne bottle figures and more jars of ornaments. Swags atop each shelf mirror the one on the bar, creating a cohesive and festive look. Cozy, masculine artwork and mirrors featuring browns, leather, and gold are beautifully and intentionally placed on the walls, enhancing the warm and inviting atmosphere. It’s a visual feast that will have you saying, “Deck the halls with boughs of holly (and maybe a martini or two)!”
Essential Bar Carts
Next to the main bar, a small gold bar cart with mirrored surfaces is filled with all the essentials – ice buckets, decanters, small cutting boards, shakers, cocktail books, and napkins. Another sweet snowman sits on one of the bar carts, adding a touch of whimsy. These mobile carts are ready to roll out the holiday cheer! in any room where you want to have additional libations available.
Cozy Seating Area
To the side of the bar, a high –top table with wood swivel bar stools featuring leather seats and nail heads provides a cozy spot for guests to lounge and chat. Atop the table, a small Christmas tree decorated with pink and green ornaments, red and green bows, pinecones, and metallic picks creates a festive centerpiece. Throughout the tree, designed to look like champagne popping out of a bottle, metallic sprays add a fun and celebratory touch. It’s a tree-mendous addition to the space!
Pretty and Polished
On the other side of the bar, a leather chair adds texture and a masculine touch to the space. A wood accent table beneath a statement piece of art featuring an overhead view of girlfriends playing cards, sipping drinks, and smoking cigars completes the look, perfectly matching the kitschy cozy vibes of this holiday party space. Despite the overall masculine and dark ambiance, many of the holiday decor elements are delightfully girly, with pops of pink and feminine touches that add a whimsical charm.
Final Festive Flourishes
Throughout the space, baskets filled with rolls of ribbon add a final festive flourish, ensuring every corner is ready for the holidays. It’s a wonderful way to wrap up your holiday decor!
Until next time – Happy Holiday Decorating!
