It's your chance to mix style with function. Add a stack of your favorite books, a small plant or fresh flowers for a natural touch, and something decorative like a candle or a unique sculpture. Don’t forget a personal element, like a small photo or a keepsake, to make it feel like yours. Interior designer Nate Berkus says, “Every surface in your home should tell a story,” and your tray is the perfect place to start.

Q: How big should a decorative tray for a coffee table be?

A good one is big enough to hold your essentials but not so large that it overwhelms the surface. Aim for something that covers about a third to half of the table’s surface. As interior designer Emily Henderson says, “it should frame your decor, not take over the show.” This balance lets you style it beautifully without sacrificing space for practical use.

Q: What Shape Tray for an Oval Coffee Table?

For an oval coffee table, a round or oval tray works best to complement the curves and keep the look cohesive. A rectangular tray can work too if you want to add contrast, but make sure it doesn’t feel too rigid against the table’s soft edges. As interior designer Amber Lewis says, “The key is to let the shapes flow together naturally while adding balance to the space.” Choose a tray that fits well without overpowering the table’s surface.

Q: How to decorate a coffee table tray?

Start with a mix of textures and heights to create visual interest. Add a stack of books, a small vase with fresh flowers, and a decorative object like a candle or sculpture. Include something personal, like a small photo frame or a keepsake, to make it unique. Keep it balanced but not overcrowded for a polished, stylish look.
