A bar cart adds a touch of sophisticated elegance to any home.

It looks and feels like a luxury and sometimes the price tag reflects this.

However, we have found an incredible hack that will leave you with a chic bar cart for just £25.

Ikea's Sniglar changing table is a popular choice for families with its clean and secure design. Yet because of its simplicity, the table has a range of other uses too.

It can be easily changed into a coffee station, an extra shelving unit in a kitchen or be used as a hallway table in a tight space.

But our favourite hack is definitely the DIY bar cart created by YouTuber Miss Kris.

The process itself is easy. First, you paint the cart black or in the colour of your choice.

Next, you place self-adhesive mirror panels (which can be purchased from Amazon) onto both shelves.

The final stage is then entirely up to you.

In the video, Miss Kris places a white fluffy mat on the bottom shelf to add a little extra touch to the cart. Meanwhile, she introduces some colourful bottles, glassware, a cocktail maker, fresh plants and other trinkets to its top level.

And voilà, you have your very own bar cart in just a few simple steps.
