A bar cart is a small cart with open shelves for bottles and glasses, and many models roll so you can move them between rooms. A home bar is a larger freestanding cabinet or bar unit with enclosed storage, wine racks or a serving counter, meant to stay in one spot.
Place a bar cart near the dining table, beside a sideboard, in a corner of the living room or near the patio door for outdoor entertaining. Leave enough room to walk past comfortably, and keep it out of direct sunlight to protect wine and spirits.
Put your most-used bottles on the top shelf, glasses and a tray on the middle shelf, and mixers, napkins or an ice bucket on the bottom. A small plant, a lamp or a framed print makes it feel finished without crowding the shelves.
Match the finish to the room around it. Chrome and glass suit glam and modern spaces, black metal and natural wood suit industrial and contemporary rooms, and rustic oak or driftwood finishes suit farmhouse homes. Repeating a metal or wood tone from your dining table ties the space together.
Deep, moody colors like navy, charcoal and forest green make a home bar feel like a lounge, especially with brass or chrome accents. For a brighter look, warm white or soft greige walls let a high-gloss white or wood bar stand out.
