It’s not a new idea, but somehow, after several years of nothing but bar carts on our radar, liquor cabinets seem freshly fun.

Maybe you don’t have the floorspace to delegate to a roomy cart or maybe you’d just rather roving eyes didn’t notice how fast you empty your bottles. Whatever the reason, closing a cabinet door is always a great option.

If you don’t want to DIY, any pretty cabinet will do. Just follow the golden rule and make sure to measure your bottles (height and width) first to get a good fit.
