The sun is out and things are feeling normal again!
Back are the evening happy hours and parties with inventive cocktails! Ever since their heyday in the ’50s and ’60s, bar carts have been a staple in many homes. Carts come in so many finishes and styles that you’ll be able to find one that fits into any space.
As Mary Carol Garrity likes to say, the beauty and the curse of bar carts is you don’t have a lot of space to work with. Everything you place on the tiny shelves needs to either serve a functional purpose or add a powerful punch of visual panache. One of the most important parts of decorating a bar cart is introducing items that provide height. This can be achieved in many ways, from a tiered server to hold appetizers to a lamp or a showy bouquet of flowers. Another great addition for height is stacking cocktail books to create a platform and top off with barware accessories.
They say that you eat with your eyes, so wouldn’t that be true for drinking as well? Try incorporating colored glasses and beautiful beverage holders to make a stunning bar display.
