Creating an elegant aperitif corner at home has never been so trendy. In a modern interior, the black and white palette remains a safe bet: understated, graphic and capable of transforming a simple piece of furniture into a real design piece.
At JustKitchens, we fell in love with two pieces of furniture from the Neptune collection, perfect for structuring a minimalist aperitif space:
⭐ Le Frome Cabinet – Warm Black
⭐ L’Ardingly Cabinet – Marble Base & Mirrored Back
Frome Cabinet — Warm and inviting design

The Frome Cabinet is a design masterpiece: solid oak with a subtly brushed texture, finished in a deep black that is very pleasing to the eye.
Its compact size and adjustable shelves make it the ideal piece of furniture for organising bottles, glassware and accessories without ever weighing down the space. The woven rattan top adds a natural touch that softens the overall look — a perfect balance between minimalism and warmth.
Ardingly Cabinet — The discreet and bright bar

The Ardingly, meanwhile, plays the quiet luxury card. Its marble base and mirrored back create a refined atmosphere, ideal for an elegant mini-bar.
When open, it reveals its practical shelves and integrated lighting; when closed, it remains a sculptural piece that blends into a contemporary interior. The perfect piece of furniture for those who want a sophisticated bar... without going overboard.
Complete the look: our suggestions from JustKitchens
• Coniston Drinks Trolley — The minimalist drinks trolley
To extend your aperitif space, there's nothing better than a drinks trolley. The Coniston fits just as well next to a sofa as it does in a corner of the dining room and can hold:
a selection of premium bottles,
a few essential glasses,
a cocktail board with lemons or aromatic herbs.
It adds a stylish ‘mobile service’ effect, ideal for evenings with friends.
• Holland Stainless Steel Bar Tools — Professional elegance
Because a home bar needs to be functional, Holland Bar Tools are the perfect addition to the set:
polished stainless steel shaker,
precise jigger,
strainer,
bar spoon.
Their steel finish adds a shiny, professional touch that contrasts beautifully with the deep black of the Frome and the reflections of the Ardingly mirror.
