If you ask us, nothing quite compares to the lived in (yet equally chic) feel of a well-dressed tray at the center of our décor. Not only does it offer endless possibilities to add a personal touch to your space, but it also serves as an element of function—all while looking stylish in the process! Whether it’s a feminine and glam vanity tray, or an eclectic arrangement of desk accessories, we’re allll about the statement making power of a good tray.
That said, falling in love with a tray and swiping that credit card is the easy part. It’s what comes next that takes a bit more thought... (Let’s face it, if we wait too long to top our tray, it inevitably becomes the messiest catch-all dish of all time. Anyone with us?) Thoughtfully selecting accessories to top your tray and create a cohesive look is an art, to say the least. But it’s an art we love, and we’ve put together a few ready-to-shop looks for you below to make it easier than ever to add a tray to any room in your home. Let’s get shopping…
