Designer Bryan Graybill describes the perfect home bar as a 'still life': a curation of tools and accessories inviting quiet indulgence at the end of a long day. Cocktail hour, in Graybill's view, is 'a pause, a reset, and a touch of glamor tossed into the mundane.'
With this sense of quiet luxury in mind, perfecting your home bar setup means creating a space that feels elevated and yet blissfully simple. Whether you're stocking a bar cart or arranging a few tools on a cocktail tray, 'it should look intentional but not fussy – like it’s always waiting for you,' reflects Graybill.
Below, you'll find a collection of luxury accessories to transform your own cocktail hour routine – for both evening entertaining and those precious, private moments of pause.
