Coffee carts are the new bar carts

The Mid-Century bar cart has been a popular trend in homes for the past five years or so with everyone from Pottery Barn to Aldi selling them.

But a new way to use them has been popping up all over Pinterest lately and it’s out with the booze and in with the caffeine.

The coffee cart is certainly more practical than alcohol if you have kids – especially if you have curious teens - in the home. And they’re just as fun to style as their bar counterparts. Start with your coffee maker of choice, such as a Nespresso or a coffee plunger. Then you need a canister to store the coffee in, as well as a cute sugar pot. Have a collection of mugs available in your patterns of choice, and a couple of car-friendly keep-cup style mugs so you can grab one on the go.  

If you’re more of a tea drinker, then you could customise yours with teas and pretty tea cups. If you’ve got kids, or a sweet tooth, you can also have hot chocolate and marshmallows on your cart. It’s also the perfect spot for a cookie jar.
