Bar carts are one of those home décor accessories you don’t fully recognize the potential of until you have one. Adding a bar cart to your space has the power to de-clutter your counter, make your spirits look stylish rather than sloppy, decorate an empty corner, and provide the perfect serving station for parties.
In the world of interior design, bar carts are a secret weapon--versatile, functional and fun--so we designed three different spirited looks that are easy to emulate and make a great addition to any space.
Scroll through to see how Laurel & Wolf created three bar carts to fit three different interior design styles
Look #1: The Hollywood Regency Bar Cart
Most bar carts add an element of glam to your space, but not every bar cart looks like it belongs in the dressing room of a Hollywood starlet. For an especially chic look, we chose one with a muted gold finish in a rectangular shape characteristic of Hollywood Regency style. To complete the look, add:
- Festive glassware with gold detailing
- Sweet smells from candles and flowers
- Vintage accessories like wood or stone busts and figurines, bottle openers and matchbooks
- A bold print to modernize the look
- A mirrored tray to keep your bottles feeling collected instead of chaotic
Look #2: The Modern Man’s Bar Cart
The mirrored surfaces, chrome finish, and octagonal shape of this sophisticated bar cart give it a glam factor without being too over the top. It’s perfect for a monochrome, modern space, but is understated enough to fit with any design style. We gave it a slightly masculine vibe by adding strong accessories, such as:
- A sleek bar-tool kit to impress your guests with expertly made cocktails
- A statement-making vase that gives your drinking nook height
- Simple martini glasses to keep the look streamlined
- An intriguing stack of coffee table books to serve as conversation pieces
Look #3: The Art Deco Revival Bar Cart
This vintage-style round bar cart epitomizes deco style on wheels! Ideal for a smaller space, the shiny edges and surfaces of this rolling bar cart pack a big punch in a small package, especially if you style it with:
- Fun and fancy straws
- Silver, ombre cocktail glasses
- A marble mixing bowl for variety in texture
- A guide to crafting classic cocktails
Take it from Laurel & Wolf — a high-style bar cart is the ultimate cure for that empty corner you’ve been desperate to fill, and the answer to all of your party planning prayers!
