Casters are simple wheels that can be attached to the bottom of larger objects like furniture. They’re common in commercial settings like restaurant kitchens and industrial workshops. However, they also have plenty of uses in homes. If you’re looking to make your space more versatile, here are some options.

How to Integrate Casters Into Your Home

1. Kitchen Islands

Kitchens are some of the most utilized rooms in every home, especially during holidays and gatherings. When you have guests or are preparing large meals, you may need extra counter space.

An island can provide this, but if you don’t want to keep it in the same spot every day, putting it on casters allows you to move it to the side to open up the space.

2. Office Furniture

More people than ever are currently working from home, so many need extra rooms like guest bedrooms to also serve as offices. By putting casters on your desks, office chairs, and filing cabinets, you can easily move these pieces in and out of closets or other spaces to get them out of the way when they’re not in use.

3. Trash & Recycle Bins

It’s not always practical to walk across the kitchen to throw waste away. When you’re chopping produce or cleaning out the fridge, casters make it easy to roll your trash with you as you move throughout the space. They also make it simpler for you to hide your trash and recycling bins when you want them out of the way.

4. Storage

If you live in a small space, you may need to get creative with storage, like placing bins under beds or inside closets. You also need to be able to easily access these items. Casters let you simply roll them out when you need to store or remove items, then roll the bins back out of the way.
