Creating A Fun Drinks Trolley
A drinks trolley is always a fun item fun to have around the house.
I love the look and the style of them and I also think they will be the coolest thing to have - decor wise - for summer this year. They are a versatile piece of furniture that doesn’t have to be used for its original purpose. They are a piece that you can style to any theme, in any room in the house. I have seen them used as bedside tables, bookstands, covered in candles and vases full of blooms and of course, used as a seriously stylish drinks trays.
What I also love about them is that they are so portable. It can be moved around depending on where you are entertaining and acts like such a generous ‘help yourself’ way of serving drinks to your guests. Even using them for serving finger food is perfect - food on tops, plates, serviettes, etc.. on the bottom. Your trolley theme can depend on your function, I’ve pulled together a little list that will bring your cart to the party.
