The word food trolley is often associated with catering businesses. Yes, it makes sense because it makes transporting food easy and efficient when catering to large events but did you know that these trolleys can be useful and even decorative in your own home?

Food trolleys that are most suitable for your home are usually two or three shelf levels and are not too tall. Trolleys can come in different designs and be made out of different materials. If your house has a modern feel, try a stainless steel or metallic trolley and if your house has a vintage and homey feel, aim for a trolley with wood details and shelves.

Here are three fun ways to use a food trolley in your home:

1)Mobile mini bar/wine cart- The shelving is perfect for featuring your favorite types of alcohol, the bottles can be kept on top while your elegant glasses are easily reached on the bottom. Since the trolley will be mobile you can take your party from the dining room to anywhere else in the house. This is perfect for a romantic dinner and a movie on your couch or even for a celebration with some friends. Tip: Make sure to get a cart with brakes so major spills are avoided.

2)Storage-Often times storage spaces can get cluttered if not organized properly. The advantage of having a food trolley in storage allows you to easily access what you need at any moment. If you have children that are constantly switching their favorite toys, you can have their items organized in a trolley that features drawers or bins so they can easily pick which toy they’d like to play with for that day. Another place that would benefit from trolley storage would be the laundry room, multiple shelving allows you to store linens, detergent, irons and whatever else you need for laundry day.

3)Dinner hosting- There’s nothing more elegant and sophisticated than rolling in a delicious meal on a food trolley when hosting a large dinner or event in your home. The accessible shelving makes it easier for you to serve your meal in style, instead of constantly making trips to the kitchen to grab cutlery and the food. You can store your food, dining ware and drinks all on one cart if it has the right features.

Keep in mind that there are many ways to make use of non-traditional items in your home. They can even add more character to your house and will add to the efficiency of various tasks.
