Short on space? Don’t sacrifice the cocktails. Opt for a bar cart that is designed large and tall enough to double as a table anywhere from an entryway to the end of your sofa. Style as a table on top and a bar cart on the bottom.

Color, pattern and texture all come into play when styling you bar cart. Colorful straws and custom coasters add signature style and function. Cloth cocktail napkins are a small touch that can go a long way, and purchasing spirits from a small or local distillery can yield pretty packaging as well as equally delicious and unique spirits.
