Spring has officially sprung, and just because we’re still spending a lot of time inside doesn’t mean we shouldn’t embrace Spring in any way we can. We’re ready to put away the cosy blankets and candles and introduce joyful Spring accessories to brighten up our living space. And that applies to our bar cart too - something that’s become a staple part of our home decor.
Whether it be a pared-back minimal look, or the addition of bright prints, glassware and flowers - there are lots of ways to give your bar cart a post-winter refresh.
So if you want to get ready for some Spring sipping, these are the bar cart trends that are bound to put, well, a Spring in your step.

1. Flowers & Plants
“Florals, for Spring? Groundbreaking”. But seriously - bringing some nature into our lives is always a good idea. Whether you’re a dried flowers or a houseplants kind of person, we’ve all been reconnecting with nature this past year. And with the season’s changing, there’s no better time to bring the outdoors in with your home decor. Introduce a pretty (and bang on trend) dried flower arrangement to your bar cart, or create a mini jungle next to your gin.

2. Blush Pink Colours
Adding a splash of colour is what it’s all about this season. And for Spring, one colour hits the home decor spot. Blush pink is the go-to tone for Spring 2021, so give your bar cart an update with the colour of the moment. Whether you choose to add some colourful glassware, an eye-catching neon light, or treat yourself to some bright bottles of your favourite pink booze - we can’t get enough of the uplifting sight of blush pink colours on a home bar.

3. Bright Artwork
The easiest way to glam up your bar cart is to add a pop of colour with some artwork. Functionality has as much to do with the way we design our homes as style. And that’s why the functional art trend is one we’re ready to get behind. Not only do these cocktail prints have handy recipe guides, which is ideal for shaking up a quick drink, they’ll also do wonders for your Instagram as they make for a bright and beautiful display. Take a look at our collection to find your cocktail favourites.

4. Make It Minimal
A minimal approach might be just the post-winter thing to help your home feel Spring ready. A stripped back, subtler version of the bar cart is perfect for fuss-free cocktail making, and is the effortless trend that will see you through the season in style. Combine minimal with muted tones and a neutral colour palette if you’re looking for a calming effect. It’s the best way to update your bar cart while still being timeless.

5. Seasonal Accessories & Eggcup Jiggers (Hear Us Out)
Eggcup jiggers - the joyful Spring bar cart accessory guaranteed to make you smile. We spotted this idea over at Inspired By Charm and we just had to share his unique way of adding seasonal accessories to a bar cart. Adding an eggcup or two to replace your usual cocktail jigger adds a subtle nod to Spring while also giving you fun and functionality. One to measure your gin, one to hold your chocolate Mini Eggs. Genius! Add some rabbits, eggs, and flowers and you’ll have one epic Easter bar cart.

6. Take It Outside
What does your ideal Spring day look like? Ours definitely involves cocktails and strawberries in the sun. As the weather gets warmer (and if you’re lucky enough to have a garden), you might take some delight in rolling your bar cart outside for a good old-fashioned picnic. Pair your bar cart with wicker baskets, a brightly coloured blanket and delicious nibbles, and spend an afternoon eating and drinking outside. The perfect way to embrace the sun in style. Plus, as Spring rolls into Summer, a cool cocktail from the bar cart is the homeware hack to beat the heat.
