I love using trays to style islands, kitchen tables, and even coffee tables. It allows me to style with multiple items and still easily move the collection out of the way when I need to functionally use the space. It also helps to frame the display so that it doesn’t appear to be “floating” on a large surface.

An easy combo that you can try is: large tray + plant + candle + decorative object.

Ready to try your own display? Here’s a collection of my favorite trays to get you started:
