Here is a quick look at a versatile piece of furniture on wheels that can multitask in the cook room
A trolley adds freewheeling functionality to the kitchen, its many uses dictated by your own ideas. It is a furniture piece that proves an excellent choice for those who want more space but do not want to put up a counter or island extension.

Here are some splendid examples of the different ways trolleys have been used in the kitchen.

I like the idea of having plants inside the kitchen – it peps up the area and gives it an airy, outdoorsy feeling. Notice how the slim trolley is used to keep greenery.
