Going out for drinks with friends is always fun, but sometimes it’s a treat to enjoy a relaxed beverage at home. A drinks trolley will keep all your favourite bottles and glassware to hand, and look impressive when you’re hosting.

From trolleys with heavy shelf space to bar carts with storage, there are plenty of styles available whatever the size of your bottle collection.

Styling a drinks trolley

Bottles and glassware are the most integral parts of your display, so they make a good starting point. Put larger bottles on the bottom shelf and smaller, more elegant glasses on the top.

Remember that less is more, so if shelves start feeling cramped, prioritise your prettiest glasses and bottles and store the rest in a pantry or cupboard.

If you’d like to add a final flourish, introducing some candles, a vase or a bunch of dried flowers will bring some character to your set-up.

Arranging a couple of cocktail recipe books on your trolley will also add a stylish touch — and provide some inspiration for drinks!
