The bar cart hit its peak of popularity in the 1950s and with the recent resurgence of mid-century modern homes and designs, it seems the charming little bar cart has come along for the ride. But today’s rolling open-air cart can do much more than display drinks! It seems at home in any room from the kitchen to the bedroom to the bathroom. Check out these updated ideas for themed “bar” carts. And if you’re looking for some trendy styles, run over to Red Door Home Store right here in Topeka. They were kind enough to supply these cute carts for our photo shoot!

With this caffeinated cart, making your morning coffee definitely won’t be a grind.
Spahhh Cart - Give yourself the gift of relaxation with a luxury spa cart. Load it up with loofahs, lotion, a scented candle, bath bombs, your favorite book and a bluetooth speaker. Then lock the door and leave the real world far behind. Turn free time into “me” time as you soak or shower your troubles away. Oh, and a little wine or chocolate is never a bad idea either. The spa cart is perfect for guest bathrooms too!
Home Office Cart - Are you living with the COVID curse - a cluttered dining room or kitchen table masquerading as your home office? Kiss the computer chaos and perpetual piles of paper goodbye with a home office cart. Several levels give you plenty of room for your computer, paper, and more. Choose one with a removable tray top for extra versatility.
Catchall Cart - Never lose your keys again! Park this cart next to your front door and create a home for all of those oft-forgotten, but oh so important items that seem to sprout legs and walk away. Add a plant, a fun sentiment sign or a family photo to personalize the space. It’s also the perfect spot to place some seasonal decorations to create a warm welcome for your guests. Practical and pretty!
Garden Cart - To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul – Alfred Austin.
Feed your soul and freshen your air with a miniature, mobile garden. You don’t need a backyard to enjoy blossoms. Grow an herb garden in the kitchen, a succulent garden in the sunroom. From African violets to a zen garden complete with a miniature bonsai tree and incense burner, you can enjoy indoor gardening anywhere your cart desires.
Mobile Mixology Cart - The classic bar cart gets an update! Load it up with all the liquor necessary to create your favorite cocktails from aperitifs to zombies. Show off your prized bottle of single malt scotch or get classy with a crystal decanter and matching rocks glasses. There’s plenty of room for shakers, jiggers, muddlers, and all the other fun tools you’ll need when you become a master mixologist. Liquor pictured: R.L.
