Remember how you used to corral all your cleaning supplies and tools into a portable caddy or large bucket? Well, this is essentially an upgraded version of that! You can store a lot more items as compared to a caddy and you don’t need to carry the items – simply wheel the cart from room to room.
Elevate your cleaning cart by hanging an over-the-door dustbin at the side or even stick a broom/mop holder to transport larger cleaning tools. With all the cleaning supplies in 1 place, cleaning your house has never been easier.
2. Have A Portable Garden
This idea is for those of you out there with green thumbs! Create your own portable garden in a storage trolley cart. Line the basket with burlap and gravel before placing the soil and planting your plants. Otherwise, you can fill up the basket with potted plants and succulents.
If you have extra space on the cart, store the gardening supplies and tools so everything is in one place. The amazing thing about this idea is that it allows you to wheel the plants around to find a spot with optimum sunlight.

6. Expand Desk Space
To create a productive workspace, there shouldn’t be visual clutter on your desk – you should only place your daily essentials and writing supplies. This is where a storage trolley cart comes in handy; store all your additional supplies in the cart and wheel it next to your desk or underneath it.
You can further organize your supplies by filing books in a book organizer or corralling writing supplies in a stationery holder. Whenever you feel uninspired in your workspace, wheel it to another part of your home to do your work.

From stationery to yarn and sewing kit, store your various crafting essentials in a storage trolley cart.
If you love sewing but lack space in your home to fit a sewing machine, place it at the top tier of the storage cart. The sewing machine is flush with the top of the cart, allowing you to sew with the machine on the cart! If needed, you may roll it next to a table to extend your workspace.
Tip: For extra storage space, consider adding hanging a few hooks at the side of the trolley cart!
