Bar Carts were originally popular in the early 1900’s, after World War II when homes were redeveloping but were still small in size! They were essentially mobile stations used for personal enjoyment and guest entertainment as they were well stocked with everything you’d ever need to enjoy a night of great conversation and even better drinks! Now that hosting at home is back on the home front, Bar Carts totally make sense for creating the ultimate guest experience! Bar Carts are great space savers for those who don’t already have the luxury of having a built in bar in their homes and they are even great for filling up an empty wall space, especially when positioned against a large mirror. A large mirror not only creates a focal point for the room but it also makes the room appear larger, Bar Cart included. Love the Bar Cart inspirations above? Check out my Pinterest!
Every Bar Cart should have all of the essentials necessary for serving guests drinks. And if you’re not much of a drinker this guide will really lead you in the right direction! But along with keeping my guests quenched, I also like to keep them entertained. Make your Bar Cart your own by incorporating things that represent you as a whole – in style and in personality. Besides the pricey projector, everything below is under $10! Here are the things I must have on mine! And don’t be shy – click the links ;}.
When choosing a Bar Cart, be sure to choose one that accentuates the style of your room. If your room is more modern, a box/square shaped Bar Cart like #2 would accentuate your room. If your room is more traditional, a circular Bar Cart like #1 & #3 would be a great fit. Living vintage chic? Then give #3 a go. But don’t feel compelled to spend big bucks on an expensive cart as Bar Carts are traditional pieces. Visit your local thrift store and remodel a quirky one to better fit you and your home!
