Sure, bar carts serve as a place to stash your booze, but they also become your home’s de facto entertaining hub. With a little effort, you can curate a Pinterest-worthy setup that reflects your aesthetic and helps you throw the perfect party. Sally Gotfredson, an interior-design manager for One Kings Lane (Sophia Bush worked with the site to redecorate her L.A. home), gives Us tips on nailing three different looks.
RUSTIC
Gotfredson says she chose a black-and-white photo by Kevin Russ and “smoky” handblown glasses to echo the “casual feel” and burnished finish of a reclaimed pine and iron cart.
LUXE
Matching a golden frame with a gilded, mirrored cart creates a “glamorous and party-ready station,” says Gotfredson. “The print feels like something you collected abroad, and it can blend in with any color palette.” The delicate beading on the Juliska glasses “gives a feminine edge and feels incredibly decadent.”
BEACHY
Shatterproof tumblers and a brightly colored prints “set the tone for a lighthearted gathering,” explains Gotfredson. The vibrant art is “cheerful and a tad nostalgic,” while the sturdy drinkware means you actually get a chance to chill out instead of worrying about the potential for broken glass.
