Styling A Bar Cart

Styling A Bar Cart

Are you looking for help putting together a bar cart that is special to your personal style? Here are our five top ideas for outfitting a cart that look as good as the cocktails you’ll serve up.

1. Keep It Simple

You don’t need to fill every inch of the cart with bottles—keep your focus on the essentials. You simply need a few quality spirits to make the classics, other various spirits you love, a good set of cocktail tools, and a small assortment of glassware. Avoid buying random pieces so that you can spend that money on higher-quality spirits, all while having a pulled-together bar cart.

2. Look Local

Try purchasing spirits from a small or local distillery that offers unique packaging, as long as the liquor tastes good. You may find that your new favorite whiskey is from right across town!

3. Use Accessories

Now is the time to play with color, pattern, and texture. Decor items like colorful straws or custom coasters can add a touch of your own taste while also being functional. Vintage bar accessories such as cocktail stirs or picks are also a charming addition.

4. Add Some Life

If there is a space that needs filled, fresh flowers or greenery are always a good idea. Add a small bouquet that complements your current decor or make room for a permanent plant. You can even consider growing an herb, such as rosemary, mint, or basil - which can be added when making fresh cocktails!

5. Incorporate Your Books

Cocktail recipe books are a great way to decorate and can add a little color, or neutral pop, depending on your style. You can use them as a base to elevate a particularly pretty bottle.

We hope these tips inspire you to be creative this spring!
