A <a alt="Go to 6 Creative ways to use a bar cart, plus our favorite models" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/bar-game/bar-serving-carts-bar-game">bar cart</a> is more than a place to store your cut-crystal decanter and matching glassware (but those highballs will look so good on those glass shelves!). This portable piece of furniture has so much potential. It could inspire your next theme party (martinis shaken, not stirred), become a focal point in your decor, or even help you enjoy a soothing spa day.
 
Take a look at the many ways you can use a bar cart in your home decor, then explore our favorite carts for every function. 
<h2>6 Clever ways to use a bar cart </h2>
Many people buy this multi-functional piece of furniture and then confine it to a corner of their living room. But, it has wheels for a reason, and we think it's going places. Here are some ideas about how to use your bar cart. 
<h3>1. Become the host with the most </h3>
If you want a bar cart for all the classic reasons, then you can use this timeless piece as nature intended — to entertain. Put on a show with your bartending skills by wheeling your cart into the middle of the room for a little mixology. Or, set out batched drinks with a punch bowl and ice bucket.
 
Make appetizers more accessible by adding a removable tray to your bar cart. A tray will allow you to pass out snacks and then set them back on the cart when everyone's had their fill. Basically, your bar cart will act as your co-host for the evening, greeting guests with food and refreshments.
<h3>2. Serve a different kind of beverage </h3>
A beverage cart isn't confined to adult beverages. You can turn your bar cart into a juice station in the morning, or wheel it out to serve coffee and tea at the end of a long party. A porcelain tea set looks so beautiful on a vintage bar cart you may even want to make it a permanent part of your decor. 
<h3>3. Make it a breakfast cart </h3>
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Treat it that way by making it an event — a breakfast cart will make you slow down and savor your morning. 
 
Use your bar cart as a serving cart to display milk and cereal, bagels and cream cheese, or jam and toast. Wheel it into the dining room and enjoy!  
<h3>4. Turn it into a relaxation station </h3>
This versatile cart can offer its services beyond the living and dining room. Bring it into the bathroom to create an upscale utility cart. Stock it with bubble bath, cotton balls, essential oils, and fresh towels. Then, keep it beside your bath or shower, and reach for it anytime you need a little pampering. 
<h3>5. Create an arts &amp; crafts cart </h3>
Most people don't think of adding a bar cart to their <a alt="Go to 6 Creative ways to use a bar cart, plus our favorite models" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/playroom-ideas">child's playroom</a>, but as long as you don't stock it with adult beverages, this piece of furniture is perfect for the kiddos. Top your cart with pencil holders and bins, and stock it with pens, pencils, chalk, and coloring books. 
 
If you don't have a dedicated playroom, the cart can serve as a play station. You can wheel it into the living room, dining room, or their bedroom, depending on where your little one wants to play each day. 
<h3>6. Make a home for your houseplants </h3>
With its open shelves, a bar cart doesn't just provide storage — it also creates a visual display. So, use it to display your greenery.
 
Place your bar cart beneath a window so your plants get plenty of sun. When the seasons change, you can wheel the cart to a brighter or dimmer window to ensure your plant friends get the right amount of light all year round.     
<h2>8 Bar carts with an extra shot of style </h2>
Stocking your bar cart is half the fun.

These carts range from traditional to art deco to mid century modern. Find one that matches your home decor and offers all the storage space you need.
