While some believe a good selection of alcohol is what makes a home bar successful (they're not wrong), a varied collection of glassware is the secret to a truly accomplished drinking station that both serves and entices.

The ultimate host offers glassware for every type of drink. Whether it's a handful of champagne coupes for a celebration or a reliable set of whiskey glasses for game night, a home bar needs glassware in many forms.

Shop the Look

Whether you stack your collection on open shelves or away in glass-fronted cabinets, the secret to a home bar is a variety of glassware. Start with some slender highball glasses, low tumblers, and some reliable wine glasses to recreate Stanley's chic set-up.

Stanley's space proves that even the smallest home bars should feature a collection of glassware. Despite being a relatively confined corner, it proves all you need is some good storage and reliable bar equipment to become the ultimate host (no matter your footage).

While Stanley's collection of utensils is impressive (close observers will notice cocktail stirrers, strainers and much more), the glassware is what makes the space feel truly well-designed and unique. Featuring open shelving adorned with every type of glass one can imagine, Stanley has truly perfected his home bar setup.

The lower shelves feature traditional wine glasses and coupes, whereas the top shelf is decorated with vibrant pieces, from speckled Murano-style tumblers to one-of-a-kind purple stemware, reminiscent of vintage glassware. By threading pops of color into the shelves, Stanley's simple yet masterful set-up makes some straightforward shelving feel thoughtful and enticing.


Stanley's home bar is undeniably impressive. Radiating decadence, it's a lesson in keeping things classic and making glassware the focal point of your home bar.
