It’s a decorator’s best kept secret – and a home accessory that should be in
every room.
Designer Lauren Oviatt with Oviatt Designs shares four beautiful tray
vignettes, and reveals four different spaces to use them in!
With the need for organization in our lives and the overabundance of
stylish
accessories and beautiful trinkets to put on display, we must have a way to
be organized and still fashionable, don’t we? Trays offer a wonderful
opportunity to corral all sorts of objects that make things seem pulled
together. Instantly things become both beautiful and purposeful!
The Entry
There must be a catch-all somewhere in the house, best to keep it looking
pretty!
Ideas: tray for keys, bowl for coins, note pad or space for letters in/ out.
Live
plant or fresh flowers, photo frame.
The Family Room
Add something unexpected or decorative to bring out the ‘interesting’
amongst all the ‘functional’.
Ideas: covered box for remotes, magazines, board game or deck of cards,
conversation starters
The Kitchen
Make everyday items eye-catching by grouping them for visual impact
while
keeping them close at hand.
Ideas: salt & pepper, salt pig, timer, olive oil, flower in bud vase, limes,
kitchen towel
The Guest Room
No better way to thoughtfully welcome a guest than to carefully curate a
personalized ‘welcome’ in the form of a lovely bedside or guest bathroom
tray.
Ideas: water carafe, books, note card & pen, fresh plant or flowers, candle,
hand cream, midnight snack
