I feel like there’s nothing more classy than a well styled bar cart. Bar carts are coming back in high demand in the interior world right now, so there’s never a better time to experiment!
The great thing is, they’re so EASY to DIY. Even if you don’t drink you can still style a bangin’ bar cart to add some class and style. If you’re looking for a statement piece for your room re-do then this is perfect for you!
First, I wanted to list out the top bar carts to buy- some can transform as a DIY and some are already bar cart made and ready to style:
- Ikea Utility Cart, $29.99
- Target, Metal and Wood Bar Cart, $129.99
- Threshold Rattan Bar Cart, $129.99
- World Market, Utility/Wood Bar Cart, $169.99
- Ikea 3-Tier Cart, $24.99
- Ikea Laptop Table/Desk, $39.99
I wanted to give everyone different options of Inexpensive DIY carts, to fully ready- now let’s style them!
- Make sure you have your cart fully stocked!
- Find cute vases and or trinkets to style the cart
- Use your best glasses and mugs
- Style the tray tops to add more color and pop
- Find a great accent tray
Here are some examples of my favorite bar carts I’ve found. I’ll be going for a gold/white look once Chris and I are all moved into our new place. Personally, I’m DIY-ing this thing as we will be trying to fully finish an entire apartment and a styled bar cart is out of my price range. ENJOY!

Don’t forget- it doesn’t have to be alcohol related. You can easily convert these into coffee bars, storage carts, diaper carts, or open shelving. The options are endless!
