IKEA Bar Carts
A bar cart has several advantages, and first of all, it’s mobile and can be moved anywhere – both indoors and outdoors, which makes it more functional. Second, a bar cart is a cool idea for a small space – it doesn’t take much floor space and doesn’t look bulky. Take an IKEA Raskog, Bygel or Forhoja cart and turn it into a masterpiece using paints, stencils, new casters, legs and contact paper. Create a large mobile bar using two or more carts by IKEA or make your own cart placing some desk or table on wheels.
