Royal aesthetic

With a nip in the air, an outdoor bar set up on your terrace is perfect. Add a hint of Indian aesthetic to your bar decor that also exudes glamour. Take cues from this milieu featuring a striking oversized umbrella draped in shimmering gold fringes, positioned over the bar counter. Horizontal garlands of gold tinsek create a magical ceiling effect. Add a fresh touch to the counter with tuberose flowers.

2. Dreamy wallpapers

Adorn the wall of your bar table with tropical wallpapers that can instantly elevate your corner and make it the centre of admiration. Here, the bar table has been set up around an arched alcove that adds a decorative framed look to the area. The botanical wallpaper adds freshness to the setup. Two floating glasses are mounted across the wallpapered wall for storing the liquor bottles.

3. Go bold

Opt for a bold-hue bar table that will serve as fantastic focal point. In a space with otherwise deep or neutral colours, a bright, vibrant bar table immediately draws the eyes, establishing the bar area as the room's main attraction. Here, the centerpiece is a pink, fluted bar with a contrasting pop pink countertop. The surrounding walls are a ruch deep foresh green, complemented by a tropical leaf-patterned wallpaper.

4. Dramatic drapery

Draping is one of the biggest decor trends of this season. Use sheer white or ivory fabric drapes to frame the bar area, creating an intimate, tent-like feel.Incorporate warm white fairy lights draped across the ceiling and curtains for a magical, ambient glow, complemented by many small candles or LED pillar candles along the bar top for a soft, low-level light and voila!
