Decorating With Trays Challenge

Welcome to the June Decor Enthusiast “Tray” Challenge. We are sharing 25+ ideas for using trays in your home. See all the ideas at the end of the post. Tray filled with summer decor

Just put it in a tray. The ultimate decorating tool. They add texture, storage and style to any space.

I’ve never met a tray that I didn’t love. Summer items in a basket tray Summer tray lantern with beach glass This woven basket tray moves around the house and takes on many different jobs. This winter it was on the aqua ottoman, it kept magazines and books corralled. It was a great place to set your coffee cup too! Currently it’s on the entry table, holding a collection of beachy items. You can use a tray to show off any of your collections. Perfect for organizing your special finds.

I use it inside and out, here I have several plants displayed on the patio. Plants in a galvanized tray Trays holding plants on the coffee table Plants on the patio A few weeks ago this metal tray served up some homemade strawberry ice cream!Summer Dessert Strawberry Ice Cream And maybe it didn’t start out as a tray, but a clay saucer is the perfect way to serve a few drinks and use to create a flat surface over a woven stool.Refreshments on the deck - spray painting wicker with HomeRight Finish Max Refreshing the deck with a variety of wicker - spray painting wicker with HomeRight Finish Max Sometimes I create my own trays, like this one made from an old dresser drawer.Spring tablescape idea with no cost decor And that one day when I bought 3 galvanized metal trays with little rope handles, I have them spread around the house to organize just about anything<img src="https://media.refreshrestyle.com/2015/01/Recycle-wine-bottles-for-a-perfect-centerpiece.jpg" alt="Free tables cape" loading="lazy" /> Fresh tulips and recycled wine bottles Ok, now for the ultimate, a tiered tray!
