For anyone who loves to entertain guests, a Bar Cart is a must-have addition to your home. Bar carts pair function with beauty, making your ingredients easily accessible while sitting pretty as an elegant decor piece.
They’re excellent for stashing drinks, treats, and other essential party favors during any gathering or celebration. Even if you don’t regularly host parties, bar carts are also perfect for putting your favorite decorative objects on display.
If you’re in need of some inspiration, here are some tips you can try out to style the bar cart of your dreams and upgrade your space.
Create Depth By Playing With Height And Scale
Make the most out of each tier of your bar cart. The top shelf houses all the accessories and tools you need to make your cocktails, but you can also add a piece of artwork to reflect your personality and serve as a backdrop.
The bottom shelf can include a few more decorative touches, such as a stack of coffee table books. With a few books, you can raise the level of your barware.
Display Fresh Ingredients
Fill up a bowl with fresh fruit like lemons, limes, oranges, and pomegranates. Or add them to sleek glass containers for a more curated look. The bright citrus acts as decor, but it’s also practical because you can use them in your cocktails.
Add Some Greenery

Go green by adding a plant or two to your bar cart. A botanical element always helps to add interest to your space. Consider a colorful bouquet of flowers for a playful pop of color or a small air plant that can be placed on a tray.
Furthermore, a trailing plant with stems that cascade down the edges of your bar cart will give off a stunning dramatic effect. You can even set tall plants on the floor next to the cart, like a snake plant, cactus, or fiddle leaf fig.
Decorate With Bottles
Attractive liquor bottles can be used as decor even if they’re empty. Bottles in different styles and shapes give your bar cart visual appeal. At the same time, try to keep multiple of the same bottles in stock to make it seem more welcoming. Some uniformity will help keep your cart from looking too cluttered.
Highlight Your Favorite Glassware
A bar cart is a great place to show off your favorite glassware. Switch out your cocktail glasses according to the different holidays and seasons.
You can even showcase other wares like fancy handmade bowls, vintage tumblers, crystal champagne flutes, antique dishes, and quaint sculptures. It could be just the thing you needed to elevate your cart.
