These days, it seems as though every home featured in a design blog or magazine has a beautifully designed bar area, and it’s not surprising to see why. 

A stocked home bar complete with fun coasters, cocktail shakers and stirrers lends itself to gathering, entertaining and celebrating.

“A stocked and stylish bar cart invites guests to make themselves at home,” Los Angeles-based interior designer Jessica McClendon said.

As the founder of the interior design service and blog Glamour Nest , McClendon creates down-to-earth spaces with a dash of decadence. 

She recommends building a bar area in the living room, dining room or even bedroom.

“For my busy clients who have kiddos, the bedroom can sometimes be the perfect place to unwind with a cocktail after everyone else goes to bed,” McLendon said. 

“It may be unconventional, but it’s an easy reminder to kick back and relax.”
