5 Ways to Use a Bar Cart

A beloved hosting essential, the bar cart is a staple of stylish get-togethers. But clear its shelves of the expected, and it has unlimited potential. Here are five ways we're using it.

1. The Sweet Spot

When entertaining, use the top shelf for a cake stand, then surround it with smaller treats. Stock the bottom with fun plates and napkins so that guests can help themselves.

2. The At-Home Cafe

For a daily caffeine fix, keep your brewer of choice on the top, then fill the spare space with extras, like coffee beans and tea bags. Opt for a cart with built-in hooks for mugs.

3. The Easy Bedside Table

Swap a traditional nightstand with a slim cart for open storage. Keep books, candles, and chargers on the bottom, and use the top shelf for a lamp and small plants.

4. The Portable Spa

For an at-home spa sanctuary, stack towels and a robe on the bottom shelf, then use the top for skincare products.

5. The Reading Caddy

To create a go-anywhere reading nook, fill a bar cart with books, organized by genre with favorites up top. And drape a throw over the handles for easy access when reading.
