Four reasons why you need a drinks trolley! 17/02/2022 February as found us all locked down again; it would be easy to feel down in the dumps. Here at Atkin & Thyme we have been looking at ways to make our living spaces more comfortable, to embrace the functionality and style of existing pieces to enhance our homes. This month we take a deeper look at the humble drinks trolley. Also known as a bar cart, the drinks trolley is much more than a tool for entertaining. Perfect for keeping things you need close to hand, or showcasing your knick knacks, our stunning collection of bar carts and drinks trolleys are both practical and stylish. Four reasons why you NEED a drinks trolley: A creation of the 1930s, a vintage drinks trolley will add a touch of the elegant art deco period to your home and they are super mobile. If you want the ultimate in flexible storage then look no further. These beautiful carts are all made with hard wearing castors and so can be moved into any room with ease. This gorgeous Gatsby bar trolley is the perfect example of this. The stylish combination of glass and marble allows it to sit comfortably in any room without seeming out of place, so if you want this in your bedroom then go right ahead!

That craft project you are working on, or totally engrossing book you are reading needs to be near your comfortable chair. Avoid the clutter of mini tables and floor baskets and use a drinks trolley. With plenty of space for those “must have” items, the Greenwich Bar Trolley is the perfect companion. The large surface area on the top is ideal for those go to items, whilst the handy lower cabinet and extra shelves make this drinks trolley a practical addition to the kitchen, dining area or open-plan space. Made from antique brass plate with brass corners and a glass top, it is simple yet highly sophisticated. Greenwich Bar Trolley (£349) 3.
