Hosting a festive party this season? Wow your guests with a 'sophisticated' drinks station inspired by Jennifer Aniston’s home bar.

With the festive season just around the corner, it's time to start preparing for the parties and gatherings thrown to celebrate with friends and family. And what better way is there to do that than with a stylish home bar set-up?

Forget stacking your bottles up in the corner of the kitchen, for an elevated drinks station that will leave your guests in awe, we've found the perfect inspiration in Jennifer Aniston's elegant and refined home bar that exudes sophistication and old Hollywood style.

"The attention to detail is what makes this home bar worthy of a private member's club," says Tamara Kelly, Woman&Home's Lifestyle Editor. "But we wouldn't expect anything less from Jennifer Aniston's luxurious Hollywood home."

Tamara points out how the bar plays on some of this year's biggest interior design trends too; Rich wooden tones and Art Deco-inspired scalloped shapes. But beyond being trendy, the dark wood tones in particular welcome an intimate feel to the space, replicating the sophisticated and glamorous styles of 1920s speakeasies.

"The sultry dark tone of the walnut wood exudes an effortless sophistication that pairs perfectly with the smokey mirror and soft, warm-toned layered lighting," Tamara adds.

"The warm temperature of the lighting creates the perfect ambience for a home bar, it's intimate and inviting in equal measure. The use of dark wood lends a traditional feel to the look while the use of muted metallics adds a contemporary edge.

"I love the bar stools that welcome a touch of Art Deco glamour, very Old Hollywood." It's no surprise that Jennifer incorporated some Art Deco glamour into her bar design. The style is super on trend at the moment and her bespoke light fitting, with a fluted glass finish, plays beautifully into this refined and luxurious look.

But you don't have to go as extreme as Jennifer Aniston's design team did to replicate the look in your own home. As her interior designer revealed, he 'literally carved the bar into a wall' at her home and when we just want to have a nice space to serve drinks at a party, that's not the most practical solution.

Instead, we can use her style and find simple additions that give us her look at a more affordable price.

Starting with the deep wood tones, you can use your dining table or a sideboard that you already have in your own home to act as your bar. Then introduce gold accents through your choice of cocktail mixer or by adding a metal tray or golden metal lamp to replicate Jennifer's mix of contemporary and classic styles.

Adding soft touches of light with lamps or burning candles is another simple way to get the style and create the same intimate, inviting feel.

Seating is another must, with Jennifer's stunning Art-Deco-inspired stools being a stylish and practical addition to any party-worthy bar. Simply stack them to one side when your guests leave.
