The term ‘home bar’ can cover anything from a whole room to a tiny collection of bottles on your sideboard. It doesn't discriminate when it comes to size. Regardless of which camp your version falls into, the quickest way to neaten up the whole operation is to add a bar tray. This humble object can house your finest bottles, protect your most stylish glasses and keep your coasters in check. It's also a brilliant way to make things feel cohesive in a space that can become disconnected and chaotic thanks to its multiple components. And when hosting friends or family, a smart tray can be used to serve drinks around the room in style.
There's no house or flat that is unable to house a home bar. A deep window ledge, a small side table, or a shelf of any description can be transformed into a bar with the addition of a smart tray. Below, we've gathered up nine of our favourites.
