Of course there is the classic bar cart. This one not only looks classy but is super nice for making sure all of you liquors and bar accessories are in one spot so it’s easy to make a drink. It’s also a fun way for guests to help themselves to drinks and become their own bartender.

Keeping all of your bar essentials on a cart also allows you to take it outside or wherever the party is.

Instead of taking up valuable counter space in your kitchen or dedicating an entire cabinet to all of your coffee essentials, consider putting them on a cart. That way you have more space in the kitchen and can dedicate this cart entirely to your favorite coffee pods, syrups, and coffee maker.

This cart specifically is a really good one for a coffee cart with its slide out drawer being the perfect place to store coffee pods or utensils. It’s like having your own little café on wheels.

3. Bedside Cart

Instead of a traditional nightstand, get a cute tiered cart for lots of storage space and easy mobility. You can also take advantage of the open concept to display decor, making it a super cute furniture piece.

This idea is also super helpful for college students (whether you’re in a dorm or an apartment) as an affordable nightstand option that will maximize storage in your small room.

4. Cleaning Cart

A cleaning cart is a genius idea to keep all of your cleaning sprays, towels, and gadgets in one place. This makes it super convenient to take around the house or apartment to whatever room or space you’re cleaning.

That way you don’t have to go back and forth from your laundry room or kitchen to keep grabbing supplies. Trust me, this is a total game changer!

For the exact essentials you should keep on your cleaning cart, check out this post of Amazon cleaning cart must-haves.

5. Office Supply Cart

If you’re desk drawers just aren’t cutting it or you need extra space for all of your supplies, instead of getting a whole shelving unit, get a cart for your superfluous stationary, books, pens, etc.

This cart has extra baskets hanging off the sides along with small hooks on either end to give you even more storage.

If you don’t want to keep this one on display 24/7, you can easily roll it into a closet or spare room so it doesn’t crowd up your space.

6. Beauty Supply Cart

We all know the struggle of having an overwhelming amount of skincare or makeup (maybe both haha). If that’s you, consider taking the overflow to a storage cart.

It will give you a ton more room so your bathroom is not overcrowded and you can easily take it back and forth from your bathroom to your room, or wherever the lighting is best. 🙂

7. Kitchen Cart

This one is a small apartment life saver! You can use this as a produce cart, to hold extra dishes and silverware, cups and mugs, or whatever works best for your kitchen setup.

It’s a great little alternative if you have limited or no pantry space. And you can always move it out of the way or bring it into the kitchen to give you an extra surface space to use when cooking.

8. Record Player Cart

This is such a creative idea. If you have a record player, instead of getting a separate record table or cabinet to display it on, use the top level of the cart to hold your record. You can store records in the bottom levels or use them for something completely different.

Either way, this idea lets you bring your music with you no matter what room you’re in.

9. Book Cart

For all of my book worms out there, create a cute book cart to keep your collection organized and within easy reach. If you want this one to look extra aesthetic, color coordinate your books within each shelf.

You would be surprised how many books can fit into each level.

10. Plant Cart

If you’re looking for a cart idea that’s not so much for storage, but just a cute decor display, this one is for you. Use a cart to display some plants. Maybe add some coffee table books to give it dimension and keep it interesting.

This idea will immediately brighten up any room and is a good way to show off your green thumb (you can also use faux plants, I won’t tell ;)).

I recommend using a two-tiered cart for this idea to give your plants more room to breathe and grow.

11. Gym Equipment Cart

For those who need a place for their at-home gym equipment, use a cart to hold your dumbbells, yoga mats, towels, etc. You can easily bring this out of a closet and into another room for an at-home workout.

This one is a great idea if you don’t need a ton of storage space but want to keep all of your gym essentials together.

12. Closet Accessories Cart

This is seriously such a cute idea! You can get creative with this one and what you put on it. You can make one level for jewelry, another for hair accessories, and add decor like designer coffee table books and perfumes throughout to make this the girly closet accessories cart of your dreams.

You can put this one in your walk-in closet or anywhere in your room. Wherever you decide to put it, it’s going to look cute!

13. Shower Caddy Cart

If you’re a college student or are living with roommates, you might not want to, or have the luxury of leave everything in the shower. You can use a cart to organize all of your shower essentials from the caddy itself, lotions and body care for when you get out, and towels.

That way you can roll all of your essentials with you when taking a shower and roll them back to your room when you’re finished.
