We mentioned our love for serving trays in our previous piece on Baubles & Backdrops entitled, “All About Gray” so we wanted to feature these pieces in their very own write-up. A simple serving tray call provide an additional layer to a smaller space and can make a dynamic impact. Below are a few illustrations of various ways to utilize a serving tray in your home design.
One way to incorporate a serving tray into a bedroom is to use it as the bedside table…

A well-styled tray placed on top of an ottoman can add a great deal of character to the space not to mention it is a great way to display treasured items.

A tray provides a designated space for smaller items such as jewelry and pretty perfume bottles.
We love to use trays when entertaining. If we are offering a specific cocktail at a party, we like to use a tray to serve the specific drink (as demonstrated in our post, “Mini-Mimosa Bar). It adds a nice aesthetic touch. Often times, we will use the tray to create a self-serve station for our guests so that they can replenish their drinks as often as needed.
Placing several of the same type of drink on a serving tray makes for a sweet look

While we love a fabulous bar cart, they can be expensive and can take up a great deal of space in a home. A serving tray placed on top of a chest of drawers, a desk or any other accessible flat surface can turn into a wonderful makeshift bar.

Next week we will feature some of our favorite serving trays!
Hope you are having a beautiful day!
