I love multi-purpose everyday objects. Whether its an ottoman doubling as a coffee table or a bookshelf doubling as a room divider, multi-functional objects make life easier. There are a myriad of ways to reimagine everyday objects. Let’s explore some of these creative ways to serve and display food for parties using everyday household décor.
This sculptural sod glass drying rack by Finell is already a functional work of art. The staggering glass prongs make perfect ice cream and sorbet cone holders. Walk around the room to allow guests to pick and choose with ease their ice cream selection.
This pretty wooden sun parasol by Brelli is charming way to display and serve lightweight appetizers and desserts to guests. The hooks have to be added and fastened to its cotton shield. Not only is this delightful display an easy grab-and-go treat at parties and outdoor picnics, but it is made from sustainable and renewable bamboo, organic cotton and biodegradable PVC.
This multi-tiered, hanging bird feeder by ROIJÉ comes in your choice of 1, 2, 3, or 5 layer finger food appetizer caddy. It is capable of handling appetizers of all shapes and sizes, just be sure to not go overboard with the weight. However, it is made of powder-coated aluminum, red cedar, porcelain which are very strong, sturdy and durable for displaying your food to guests. You can hang your bird feeder turned appetizer trays from nearly anywhere. If you plan to carry them around yourself, be sure to find a sturdy rod and an extra pair of hands to help you!
This posh serving tray combines round wall hooks by Tiny Frey and a large serving platter. This is a clever idea if you enjoy treating your guests to fun and fine dining. Fasten the hooks to a large plate and place your gourmet appetizers and sushi creations atop each one for a variety of delectable choices.
Now that you know you can recreate ordinary objects into fun ways to display and serve food, you’re going to look at your home in a whole new and different way. Just a word of advice: Refrain from using anything in your bathroom for your dinner parties! Happy exploring!
