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.

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.
