You can't open a home design magazine without seeing a stylish serving tray in at least one, if not every, editorial spread. It's no wonder magazine prop stylists have an ongoing love affair with serving trays; what's not to love? Trays are relatively small, relatively inexpensive, and exponentially spike the style points of any given room. Whether holding mail on a hall console table, martini glasses on a luxuriously upholstered settee, a sweet vignette of roses and poetry books on a bedside table, a festive array of liquor bottles atop a bar, or a sparking Bellini and breakfast on a crisp, white bed, trays give a room both polish and unique flair.
Think of it in terms of makeup: If a room's furniture is like a swipe of bold lipstick, a serving tray is like the subtle, expertly applied eyeliner that establishes its wearer as both sophisticated and sexy.Ready to add some elegant drama to your home?
