One rattan bar cart: the Amelia Rattan Bar Cart with Shelf, handwoven rattan with a lower shelf for storage. A bar cart keeps glasses, bottles and mixers together and rolls to wherever people are standing.
How do you style a bar cart?
Height on top, weight below. Bottles and a small plant or lamp go on the upper level, glassware, a tray and anything heavy sit on the lower shelf where they lower the centre of gravity. Leave a third of the top clear so there is somewhere to set a glass down. Handwoven rattan already carries texture, so the objects on it should be simple: too many small items and the weave disappears behind them.
How do you style a bar cart without alcohol?
The format works unchanged as a coffee or tea station, with a kettle or grinder on the lower shelf and cups and a tray on top. In a living room it can hold books, a lamp and a plant and read simply as an open side table. Beside a reading chair it becomes a landing spot for whatever is in your hands. The wheels are the point in every version: it moves to the room being used.

FAQ
What is a bar cart?
A small wheeled serving table, usually with two levels, used to hold bottles, glassware and mixers. Because it rolls, it moves between rooms instead of staying in one spot.
How do you stock a bar cart?
Three or four spirits you actually drink, one mixer, a set of glasses and a small ice bucket covers most occasions. Keep the backups in a cupboard so the cart stays uncrowded.
