Bar Cart 101
Shaken & Styled
There's no denying that
bar carts are one of
the hottest furnishings
around, by now it's safe
to say that bar carts
are breaking out of the
trendy category and
becoming something of
a furniture staple… so
in light of this shift in
interiors, we offer you a
crash course in styling
the perfect bar cart.
Purchase a bar cart
If you don't have a built-in bar,
pick up a cheap bar cart at Ikea,
Pier One, even Craigslist or a
local antique store. They can
be transformed into a fabulous
show piece that will stun your
guests! Or invest in this classic
piece of furniture and go high
end. Consider a bar cart on
wheels, though it'll likely live
in one room in your home,
it's nice to be able to move
it to a different space when
entertaining.
A place for
everything, and
everything in it's
place
If your bar cart is open,
be mindful
of organizing
it neatly. You
don't have to
cram every
barware item
you own onto
your cart. You
may even want
to store your
less frequently
used items in
a pantry, so it
doesn't look
too cluttered or
messy.
Accents for color and season
Switching up your glassware and other accents is a quick (and
affordable!) way to update your bar cart. Keep it flexible and
switch out the colors, napkins, glasses and other components for
easy entertaining designed for each gathering and/or season.
