Besides your costume, the second best thing about #adulting on Halloween is the spooky, “blood”-infused cocktails. So it only makes sense that your bar cart also rise to the occasion. After all, what’s more Halloween than a giant crystal skull decanter filled with vodka? Maybe some matte black glassware. And a touch of rose gold, of course. This week’s edition of Decor Resolutions will show you how to give your bar cart an eerily elegant makeover, fit for any Halloween get-together. Grab a galaxy donut hole and scroll down to see how we’d style a bar cart for a boho-chic space, minimalist abode and preppy home.
Every bar cart deserves a good dose of glamour, and all that glam is even better with a spooky, dramatic edge. Nail the boho-chic vibe with lots of texture: a bouquet of fresh flowers, a black branch candlestick, or even a little feathered friend. Don’t be afraid to use some of the space around the cart too. Add interest to the wall space above the cart with a batty garland and then finish off the look with some creepy apothecary jars full of drink stirrers and candy.
