A Bar Cart is a great piece of vintage inspired furniture that can really stand out at your Christmas party…if it’s properly decorated. There are several things you can do to take your bar cart to the next level. Here are some suggestions.

Use the Ingredients to Decorate

Elegantly displayed bottles, glasses, decanters and pitchers will make your bar cart look terrific. But you can bring something unique to yours by adding natural elements. For example, you may want to display your garnishes, such as oranges and cranberries, to give the cart a festive look. Poinsettias and evergreen garlands will also set the scene.

Pops of Color

The elements on a bar cart tend to be glass and metal, but you can make yours stand out by adding pops of color. This can come in the form of colorful glasses, floral arrangements and more. To go classic Christmas, green and red is ideal, but you can also implement a variety of festive hues like purple, turquoise and even pink.

Serve Drinks on Tap

If you have large dispenser style pitcher, you can use it as an easy way to serve drinks at your party. Simply put your premixed beverage in the container and place it on top of your bar cart. Let guests serve themselves.

Use Statement Glassware

The glassware you use on your bar cart can make all the difference. Accompany your bottles with large, mouthed glasses, colorful drinkware and other items that will stand out.

Less is More

Give your cart a minimalist look by reducing clutter. Use only the most attractive bottle and glasses. Add to the aesthetic with one or two decorative elements without going overboard.

Go Overboard

While the minimalist look works well, you can also go all out to give your bar cart a fun, over the top appearance. Use cheesy decorations like a plastic Santa and inflatable reindeer. Cover the exterior with lights. This is Christmas after all.

Get a Unique Cart Design

Sometimes the cart design speaks for itself. Case in point may be a Lucite cart or one that features vintage metal components.

Style for the Season

The season can dictate the look of your bar cart as well as the items you serve. During the Christmas season, dress it up with Christmas inspired décor and serve drinks that contain ingredients like cranberry juice and hot buttered rum…though not necessarily combined.

When you decorate for the Christmas season, make your bar cart the center of attention. The tips in this article will help you achieve the look you are going for. Which direction will you be taking it in?
