Bar carts are a fun and functional way to add personality to your living space while also being a convenient way to store your favorite beverages and accessories. But how do you style a bar cart that is both functional and visually appealing? Here are some essentials for styling a bar cart:
The Cart Itself:
Choose a bar cart that fits your style and space. Look for carts that have multiple levels, wheels for easy maneuverability, and a sturdy construction.
Glassware:
Invest in a variety of glasses that can accommodate different types of drinks, such as wine glasses, champagne flutes, highball glasses, and rocks glasses.
Cocktail Shaker and Tools:
No bar cart is complete without a cocktail shaker and tools. Look for a set that includes a jigger, muddler, strainer, and mixing spoon.

Accessories:
Don't forget to include some practical accessories such as a bottle opener, coasters, and a tray for serving.
When it comes to styling your bar cart, remember to keep things organized and visually appealing. Group like items together and consider using trays to corral smaller items. Adding height variations with stacked books or small plants can also create visual interest. And finally, don't forget to regularly restock and clean your bar cart to keep it looking its best.
By including these essentials on your bar cart, you'll have everything you need to entertain guests or enjoy a quiet night in. Remember to have fun with it and personalize your bar cart to fit your unique style. Cheers to happy hour at home!
