15 Unique Bar Carts That Offer The Perfect Stylish Storage

Small trolleys with wheels and multiple levels, often called bar carts, are a staple of any high class space. They can be worked into most rooms, but they're usually showcased in kitchens, living areas, dining rooms, and outdoor spaces. The Home Depot says that these furniture pieces add a stylish but also functional element to a home. They're great for entertaining guests, as their wheels make them easy to move around. 

These cocktail hour classics are typically used to store alcohol, glassware, and other drink-related items. However, there are creative ways to decorate a bar cart that don't involve alcohol too. Trolleys can also be used to organize a small closet, hold utensils in the kitchen, or display fun treats at parties. Really, anywhere and anytime you need extra storage space, a bar trolley will come in handy. One could also double as a side table or nightstand in a pinch. If you're looking to add one of these carts to your home, there are a number of unique styles, sizes, and materials to choose from. Below are 15 options. 

An all-black bar cart will look chic in any room. Modern and simplistic, this design won't draw lots of attention. In a kitchen it can hold tea towels on the bottom while displaying something decorative on top.

Light wood carts can be used in modern, bohemian, or rustic rooms. They add an earthy and natural feel to a space. Carts with matching baskets like the above design will prove to be extra useful for organization. 

A long and narrow bar cart could be placed beneath a window in a dining room. For this design, large décor pieces anchor the lower shelf so the top shelf can hold a tray with easily accessible glasses.

This trolley's pyramid design, with a smaller tray on top and a larger one on the bottom, gives it a unique appearance. The white mesh containers give this piece a farmhouse vibe. 

A bar cart could also be placed in an outdoor space or a garden area. Adding a cover will protect your drinks and food from debris or excessive heat from the sun. This cart uses large wheels, a striped roof, and crystal glassware to give it a whimsical energy.

A basic cart with large plastic shelves makes entertaining on a budget a breeze. It may not have much to offer in visual appeal, but it will certainly get the job done.

Finding a cart with drawers will be a great way to stylishly maximize your storage options. This cart's mix of distressed white and wooden elements gives it that ever-popular rustic farmhouse feel.
