What size should your bar cart be?

Bar carts are portable drink trolleys that help you bring refreshments to your guests. The right size bar cart depends on how much space you have and how often you entertain. Limited space often means smaller options are better, while open floor plans have more room for larger carts.Small carts: 30 to 32 inches high and 27 to 30 inches wideMedium carts: 35 to 40 inches high and 30 to 35 inches wideLarge carts: 40 to 45 inches high and 35 to 40 inches wideEven if you have a large space, you might prefer a small to midsize cart that’s easier to move around. Of course, smaller carts can’t hold as much. If your house is frequently filled with guests, choose a larger cart with more space for your favorite drinks and glasses.

How to stock a bar cart?

What you stock on your bar cart is a matter of personal preference. But you’ll also want to appeal to your guests’ tastes, especially if you host frequent get-togethers.If you're just starting, you don’t need to have a diverse collection. Buy a few smaller bottles and see how they work. That way, you won’t have large bottles of something you don’t like. Don't be afraid to experiment with different accessories and glasses.

Where should you place your bar cart?

There are many places to set up your bar cart. Where you put it depends on available space and where you entertain guests most. You should also consider where the light falls. Spirits and other bottles are best out of direct sunlight. Oxidation and high temperatures can change the flavor and color, so store your bar cart in a room-temperature location.Here are some ideas:Put it in the corner of your living room.Place it in the hall below a mirror or piece of wall art.Add it to your entryway decor.Place it next to your kitchen island.Tuck it next to or under the stairs.Make it a showpiece in your dining area.

Bar Carts

Are you someone who loves to entertain guests in your home, or are you looking to elevate your space with a home bar, coffee station, or tea corner? Adding a bar cart can enhance your interior aesthetic with style and function. Here are all the things you’ll want to consider before making your purchase — plus, ideas on how to style your new furniture.

How To Choose the Right Bar Cart

Bart Cart

Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Praesent auctor purus luctus enim egestas, ac scelerisque ante pulvinar.

Bart Cabinet

A bar cabinet is available either partially open or fully enclosed. For small spaces where you’ll want to minimize the appearance of clutter, or keep beverages and glassware locked, an enclosed cabinet is your best bet.

Size

What do you intend to primarily use your bar cart for? If it will simply act as a drink station, then smaller, narrower iterations that can sit close to the wall would be ideal. If you’ll need additional space for any sort of food prep, or for storing glassware or other bar accessories, you’ll want to consider a cart or bar cabinet with a larger top space, and shelving underneath.

Style

Bar carts are available in every style imaginable, but here are the three most common and popular styles to inspire your next purchase:

Industrial:

These carts feature metal frames, often with casters, and wood or metal shelves. They have a rugged and utilitarian feel, adding contrast when paired with a softer or more refined interior space.

Mid Century Modern

These carts evoke the retro charm of the 1950s and 1960s with clean lines, tapered legs, and geometric shapes. They often have wooden or glass shelves, and sometimes feature a built-in ice bucket or wine rack. They suit a more classic or contemporary decor.

Art Decor

These carts are inspired by the glamorous and ornate style of the 1920s and 1930s with curved edges, mirrored surfaces, and gold or chrome accents. They often have glass or marble shelves, and sometimes a circular or oval shape. They instantly add sparkle and sophistication to any room.

Contemporary or Modern:

These carts feature sleek and minimalist designs, often with metal frames, glass shelves, and a monochromatic color scheme. They have a chic and stylish feel, complementing a more urban or trendy interior space. They often have wheels for easy mobility, and sometimes include storage drawers or cabinets.

Materials

Wood:

A traditional yet completely versatile choice, wood bar carts typically offer the ability to be used both indoor and outdoor. They will also pair well with rustic, country, or coastal aesthetics. Keep in mind what other types of wood are found in your house to ensure your cart won’t look out of place.

Glass:

Because they are mostly clear, glass bar carts will take up less space visually, making them an ideal choice for smaller spaces or modern interiors. They also offer a sleek, beautiful addition to rooms — especially when stocked with a variety of glasses or bottled beverages.

Metal:

A popular choice, metal bar carts are typically affordable and durable enough to be used inside and out when the weather is nice. Make sure that whatever metal finish you choose, it’s completed with a sealant to avoid rust or corrosion for outdoor use. Like glass versions, a metal bar cart can be easily wiped down.

How To Style Your Bart Cart

Now that the harder aspects of your buying decision are over, it’s time for fun. Here are some common ways to keep your bar cart looking fresh and serving up as much utility as possible.

Placement

A bar cart can look at home in a range of rooms and settings. They’re commonly found in living rooms, dining rooms, and kitchens, adding a touch of elegance and personality.

Mixology Tools

Shakers, tongs, ice buckets — make sure your bar cart is stocked with the necessary accessories for the next time you’re entertaining.

Metal:

Style with Personality:

Decorating your cart with decanters in modern cuts or glass bottles in interesting colors or shapes can be an easy way to inject additional personality into your setup.

Greenery:

Plants (real or fake) or a small vase of flowers can bring some life and color to your bar cart, especially if you have a neutral or metallic palette.

Decorations:

If your cart is looking a bit bland, personalize it with framed photos, artwork, candles, or books. You can also switch up your accessories seasonally or for special occasions.

Clean & Organized

No matter how you choose to accessorize your bar cart, the most important component is keeping it clean and clutter-free. Make sure to routinely dust it and wipe down any spills.
