How To Style The Decorative Tray
The decorative tray is having a moment!
It can gather everyday clutter, make entertaining feel special or give a coffee table a little juujjj!
You know that je nais se quois!
As Ideal Home puts it, “a tray takes a coffee table from a ‘mess’ to a ‘moment’.”
The trick is not to fill it with expensive accessories; combine things you already own.
let’s be considered with our moments and our purchases!
1, Breakfast get-together
Forget the perfectly staged breakfast in bed.
Make it look inviting
Start with the practical things first: cups, glasses, plates.
Then add height and colour with a small vase of flowers, or a bowl of fruit.
Don’t try and be fancy, be you!
No need to buy a matching breakfast set or for everything to be precise,
we live here honey!
2. Taking your tray into the evening - Cocktails in China
A decorative tray is a brilliant way to turn a table into a drinks station!
For this version, bring out the china—but use it in an unexpected way.
Dust that teapot off, they are ready for use!
The stories that China could tell after a few bevvies, just imagine!
If you do not have a cocktail shaker, use a clean jam jar with a lid. It is an inexpensive solution and adds to the homemade charm.
Give china a new job
A vintage teacup makes a fun cocktail glass for smaller drinks,
Low Cost drinks ideas
For a low-cost spritz, provide sparkling wine, elderflower cordial, soda water, ice and lemon slices. For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling water, elderflower, cucumber and mint.
3. Calm at the end of the day
The tray can also work as a small evening ritual. Create a calm corner with useful things that help you slow down.
Layer your objects such as books to create different heights, use vintage vases for character and ADD a cordless lamp for a warm glow.
