Kitchens. Use trays on your countertops and tables to corral often used items like cooking oils, spices, knife blocks, cook books, cooking utensils, a toaster or even a favorite pottery bowl. Tuck in your favourite herb so it's not only functional but pretty. No tray? No problem, substitute a wooden cutting board in place of a tray. Bathrooms. Place a tray on your bathroom counter to hold make up, hand cream, soap dispenser, cotton swabs, perfume, air freshener and flowers. Beside a soaking tub top a tray with sponges, face cloths, bath salts and a candle. If you have a make up vanity in your bathroom use a tray to corral your facial creams, hair sprays and perfumes. Living room/Family rooms. Create visual interest on your cocktail table by showcasing pretty accessories together on a tray. Use candles, books, flowers, shells, or other home décor items. Tuck a tray on a lower table shelf to hold magazines, remote controls or coasters. A tray on a hearth looks great when topped with fresh flowers and candles. Dining rooms. Set up a home bar using a tray to contain favourite bottles of spirits, bar accessories and crystal decanters. On the dining room table create a center piece using multiple vases with flowers, stems or greenery set atop a tray. Home Offices. Stay organized on your desk top by using trays to hold your most used office supplies within reach. Tape dispensers, business cards, pen holders, paper clips, small pads of paper and calculators.
