Luxe up those libations and evening soirees with these stylish suggestions, says SAM WYLIE-HARRIS

WHEN it comes to at-home entertaining, who doesn't love to bring a little luxury to the table... or should we say bar?
Think 'cork and fork' parties, recreating a wine-tasting experience at home, or a cool corner where budding mixologists can rustle up a cocktail.
The joy of fixing your own drinks and styling out some five-star treatment for friends or family can be a taste of the high life... and a fixture in the social diary, as opposed to a fleeting moment.
The boutique hotel look
"There's no reason why entertaining at home can't feel as sophisticated as enjoying cocktails in an elegant hotel," highlights Daniel Smith, founder of furniture brand Danetti.
"Invest in key pieces like bar stools, which work on a practical level whilst injecting some glamour into your very own happy hour at home."
