New Coffee Table Tray Today?

Now that you have your coffee table sorted based on this round-up, or maybe you already have one you love, it is time to up your tray game. Trays provide a great place to corral your necessities and keep your table from looking cluttered. A decorative tray is a great addition after the holiday decorations are put away and the house is looking a bit empty.

A few tips:

  • vary the color and material from the table; i.e. wood tables look good with marble or metal tray;
  • leave plenty of space on the table for drinks or plates;
  • vary the height of the items on the tray for visual interest;
  • include items in groups of three;
  • add something that plays off the colors in your room;

Accessorizing your tray:

  • remote
  • coasters
  • candle and decorative matches
  • small potted plant
  • vase with flowers
  • books
  • small decorative object
  • seasonal décor

I have the octagon one in black and a marble tray. I really like the log one for a rustic home and the metallics for more modern spaces. Which is your favorite?
