Top 5 Ways to Use Serving Carts

A serving cart is defined as a handcart, go-cart, pushcart, pastry cart, teacart, and a wheeled vehicle with two or four wheels. As defined, there is room for creativity. Choose a serving cart with a locking mechanism and adjustable shelves. Deep shelves are a plus when transporting liquids.

Getting the Most from Your Serving Cart
Serving carts eliminate multiple trips from kitchen. A hostess can deliver dessert, coffee, cream, sugar, utensils, napkins, plates, and cups right to guests.

Serving drinks and finger foods inside or on the patio? A serving cart with a wine rack becomes a portable bar. Built-in electrical outlets allow you to add cold or warm appetizers with cocktails. A serving cart can conveniently haul dirty dishes to the kitchen during cleanup. It is also great for hauling awkward items like large bakery boxes or multiple bags from trunk to house or vice versa. A stylish serving cart in the bathroom creates a mini linen closet. Use etched bowls to display fancy soaps. Glass trays will accent perfume collections. Roll washcloths and hand towels and stand them on end in baskets.

Place a decorative serving cart near a window and turn it into a plant stand. Plants can conveniently be wheeled to windows offering morning or afternoon sun exposure. When it's time for watering, push the cart to the kitchen sink for convenience and to eliminate water spillage on carpets and wood floors.

Work a serving cart into hallway or foyer decor to create a convenient message center, a catchall for keys, purses, briefcases, and backpacks. Commonly lost items can be easily located, and the entryway will remain neat and organized.

Place a serving cart in the kitchen; use decorative baskets to hold monthly bills, pens, paper, calculator, stamps, and envelopes. Then, when it's time to pay bills, simply roll the serving cart wherever you wish to sit, and you have created a portable office.
