These movable furniture pieces can add to productivity and organisation in kitchens. Prepare to get inspired
Do you know the many ways trolleys can make working in the kitchen a breeze? Adding a trolley or a cart is an ingenious way to expand the kitchen worktop area, add storage or make an impromptu island counter. These easy-to-add multi-tasking wheeled units can be bought or custom-made as per the need and space available in the kitchen. The examples below will tell you how trolleys can fit in any size of kitchen.
1. A trolley of this kind can be a boon in any open kitchen. As in the picture, the kitchen-side of the trolley can be used as a prep space, while the dining-side can be used as a breakfast bar. Moreover, it can be shifted towards the living area, if the kids like to watch TV while having a meal.
2. A composite trolley island gives this compact kitchen the gift of extra counter space and shelving. The metal trolley’s wooden shelves create an interesting focal point in the pale-hued kitchen. See how it matches with the wood-clad room divider.

3. Two narrow butcher-block-topped trolleys were custom-made to offer some much-needed counter space in this kitchen here. Castors of heavy trolleys such as these can be locked to keep the unit immobile and make working on it comfortable.
4. The kitchen here features a centralised cooking station. The sturdy trolley on castors serves as a mobile extension to the kitchen counter. It can be used in a number of ways – from a breakfast bar to a separate island, from a preparation desk to a serving table. Look, the stools can be tucked underneath it, too.
5. The trolley of this light-toned kitchen is placed as an extension to the dining table, not the kitchen counter. It can, however, double as an island for the compact kitchen space. The big drawer adds to its usefulness.
6. Trolleys don’t always have to have shelves, drawers or hangers. This roll-out kitchen island fits perfectly in the sleek industrial-style black-and-white kitchen. The openness of the trolley makes space for legroom when using the stools while eating-in.

7. Personally, I love this eclectic kitchen with a hint of transitional and industrial decor. The vintage-style lightweight shelf-rack cart adds oodles of personality, aesthetics and functionality to the cooking area. The cart can be used to keep things that come handy while cooking, it can be used to store veggies (such as potatoes and onions), which do not need refrigeration and it can also work well as a display rack. This cart is a great example of how furniture can be both stylish and practical.
8. This kitchen lets the huge white movable island get all the attention. The number of horizontal and vertical partitions provides a lot of open storage. For example, it can be used to display a collection of special utensils during house parties.

9. Wait … where is the trolley here? Did you notice the wheels under the cabinet with the wooden countertop? Yes – the trolley here fits perfectly between the cabinets against one of the walls of this well-tailored kitchen.
One can move it around as a serving cart or drag it to the centre to serve as an island. Ingenious.
10. I like how the trolley table offers a rustic edge to this contemporary kitchen. A wheeled workshop machine base, purchased from the local flea market, was restored to function as this movable island. Reclaimed wood planks were added to the trolley and finished to match its colour with the surrounding cabinets.
11. Originally, this apartment kitchen lacked counter space. The two wooden carts with open shelves came to the rescue in adding to the work and preparation space. The outer legs of this paired set are regular legs – giving the effect of a table. Each can be trundled, much like a wheelbarrow, to wherever an occasional table is required.
