Trays are something that can be used in any room; bathroom, kitchen, office, entryway, living room, you name it! They come in tons of shapes, sizes, and colors which make picking one out to easy but maybe overwhelming. Chances are you have one laying around in a pantry or on top of your refrigerator. I love a good tray to corral random items. They are can be beautiful but extremely functional, 2 must haves for me when buying something! Below I’ve included ways I have used trays in my own home as well as some links to some that have a lot of personality. Just click on the picture and it will take you to the site.

Here are some ways to use that tray you have tucked away somewhere!

  1. Entryway
    If you have an entryway table use a tray to hold books, smaller decor, or just to ground a vase like I did below.

2. Office
Here I’ve used this large black tray as a divider between spaces but also to hold some pretty items!

3. Kitchen
The first image I used a long, narrow tray to hold my kettle, some mugs/bowls, and a small plant. My kettle looked awkward just sitting alone on my counter but now it looks beautiful. The second picture is a tray I used to hold an assortment of food when friends came over. It holds everything together and replaces my need for a table!

4.Bathroom
Instead of a basket, I opted for a small tray to hold the TP!

5. Living Room
Whether you have an ottoman or coffee table, a tray is a stylish way to hold you vases, candles, or wine glasses.
