Styling The Rattan Bar Cart

Meg Braff Designs - Coastal Living

 The rattan bar cart is one of my favorite items for the home and it is one of the most versatile pieces you can own. Use it as a bar for liquor of course, or as a water bar, a coffee bar, for towels and toiletries in the bathroom, as a console in an entryway, or as a bedside table; the list is endless. 


The cart above is used in a pool house as a water and towel cart. The wallpaper is Meg Braff's Beverly Hills, the bar cart is Serena & Lily's South Seas Bar Cart, the sconces are Aerin's Hampton. The Serena & Lily bar cart is a classic and a favorite with interior designers.

The sconces are very Palm Beach/Palm Springs -

The bottled water is Pellegrino - always so chic. Want a wonderful alternative that's delicious and comes in a gorgeous cobalt blue bottle? I highly recommend Saratoga Springs Natural Spring Water. I got hooked on it on many trips to Saratoga Springs in New York for horse racing. Available in sparkling or still.

I found the best cabana striped beach towels - they are navy and white stripes and reverse to green and white stripes and they are $12 at Target. I am getting some of these for sure!!!! They also come in other wonderful color combinations and are cotton and get great reviews. BTW, I have always folded my towels, but now I roll them. They take up less space and seem more spa like. Do you fold or roll?

I love Meg's casual, colorful, and approachable decorating style with lots of beach venues and of course, lots of chinoiserie.

  1. I just love the room that appeared in Coastal Living - the colors, the bar cart, the wallpaper, the towels, everything. I could be very happy in this room. The orange Chinoiserie wallpaper is gorgeous. Do you happen to know what it is?

    1. The wallpaper is de Gournay or Gracie - she did the trim in red.
