Stanley Tucci's kitchen and home bar are extremely well documented, to the point that seeing them come up on our feeds feels like seeing a familiar friend's home. However, there are always new details to take note of and admire, and our latest fixation is his home bar's cabinetry.
The fluted kitchen cabinet trend is on the rise, and Stanley's cabinets make the case for the look with their subtle texture and chic glass material, in ways beyond the main kitchen area.
The matte, grayish-blue paint color also serves as a great contrast to the ribbing, while the glassware adds further dimension. It's a look that evokes vintage sensibilities while remaining truly contemporary, making it a highly worthwhile investment in practically any home bar.

Colored glassware really has taken off this year, and these fluted glasses are a luxe take on the trend. They'll bring both honey hues and subtle texture to your bar cart.
While not traditional bar cart decor, I always keep a candle on hand. This option creates a cozy, inviting ambiance, housed in a decorative ribbed container. Made with soy and paraffin wax, it burns for around 72 hours, adding warmth and fragrance to the space.

'The fluted cabinetry adds subtle texture, while the matte gray-blue paint provides a clean contrast. Glass fronts and carefully arranged glassware bring depth to the space, creating a look that feels both vintage-inspired and modern. It’s a smart, stylish approach that makes the bar feel inviting as well as functional.'

Alternatively, this candle from Target would make a delightful addition to any home bar (as well as providing a lovely scent). Keeping with the textured theme, this chrome cocktail shaker by HexClad is the perfect companion to ribbed home bar detailing.
