Styling a Bar Cart for Everyday

Bar carts are having a major comeback, and are "the it" must having for your living room or dining room. One of my favorite recent additions in our home is the Eliza bar cart I added from The Home Decorators Collection to our small dining room. Designing a small dinning room and giving it style can be a challenge. To give our dining room extra storage that is also practical, I thought a bar cart would be the perfect stylish solution.

A few reasons I love bar carts: they up the style factor in small spaces, have a small footprint and offer the classic + modern component I love adding into my home. In addition they're extremely versatile, they can hold librations, double as a coffee cart, hold dinnerware, transform into a serving cart and are great for parties. Bar carts also make the perfect cocktail station, for quests to pour their own drinks. I honestly think anyone with a small space, needs a bar cart! 

Now, that I have a pretty bar cart I love styling it for the Holidays and of course for everyday use. To style my bar cart, I like to anchor the center of my with fresh flowers. I flank the flowers with champagne & Pellegrino bottles a must staple of a bar cart style + cocktail mixing. I also like placing champagne coupe glasses within easy reach and adding a candle, plus limes and lemons in a bowl. 

On the bottom shelf of the bar cart is where I like keep our liquor, along with wine bottles and glassware. To keep the bottles organized, I use tray to hold the liquor. Below is my bar cart styled or the for the holidays: Thanksgiving, Winter & Christmas

As you can see bar carts punch so much punch, and the styling possibilities are stylishly endless
