Year of the Bar Cart

We’re just gonna make it official—2016 is The Year of the Bar Cart. We at Rosanna love bar carts—here’s why.

Statement Pieces

A thoughtfully styled bar cart—with prints, flowers, and objets d’art— is a great way to further establish your distinct aesthetic in your home.

GLAMOUR

Old-fashioned, Hollywood glamour wafts off bar carts in waves. They make a home spaces sophisticated without feeling stuffy.

DIY Fancy Drinks

You don’t need to go out and drop $12 apiece on a fancy cocktail! Why not make it at home? A well-stocked bar cart means you can do just that.

They’re Compact

Bar carts tuck into small spaces between furniture and into alcoves wonderfully. That means you can make good use of what might otherwise stay “dead space” in your home.

They’re Mobile

Bar carts have wheels—they can follow they party anywhere!

They’re Versatile

Same cart, different stylings. It’s entirely (and easily) possible. To prove it, check out our two different takes on the same cart. We’ve created a For Him cart featuring our Monte Carlo collection and a For Her cart with Chez Elle.

When it comes to bar carts, we agree completely with Mrs. Lilien author of Mrs. Lilien’s Dessert Cocktail Swatchbook:

“A good cocktail tastes even better when sipped out of something spectacular!”
