What Is a Decorative Tray?

A decorative tray is a flat, raised-edge surface designed to organize and display items while adding visual interest to furniture like coffee tables, ottomans, and vanities. Unlike purely functional serving trays, decorative trays are crafted from premium materials and feature refined finishes that make them suitable as standalone accent pieces, while still providing practical corralling of remotes, candles, books, and small objects.

What You Get With the Currey & Co Aldo Tray

1. Alternating Horn Pattern -- the outer edge showcases an elegant combination of chiseled and natural horn in an alternating design that creates rich visual texture.
2. Carved Handles -- integrated carved handles make the tray easy to lift and transport from room to room or when entertaining guests.
3. Generous Surface -- at 20 inches wide by 14 inches deep, the tray provides ample space for styling multiple decorative objects or serving appetizers and drinks.
4. Chiseled Top Edge -- intricate chiseling along the top edge adds dimensional detail that catches light and creates sophisticated contrast.
5. Natural Material Variation -- each tray displays unique horn coloration and pattern, ensuring your piece is one-of-a-kind.
6. Lightweight Construction -- despite its substantial 20-inch width, the tray weighs just 8 pounds for easy handling.

How Do You Style a Coffee Table Tray?

Place the Aldo Tray at the center of your coffee table or ottoman, then arrange items in odd-numbered groupings -- a stack of design books, a candle, and a small sculptural object create balanced composition. The horn's natural brown tones complement other decorative objects and home accents in warm metal finishes or organic materials. Consider pairing it with pieces from our accessories home decor collection to complete your curated living room aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you put on a decorative tray?

Decorative trays hold candles, small vases, coffee table books, coasters, remotes, and small sculptural objects -- grouping these items creates visual order while keeping surfaces organized.

What size tray should I use on an ottoman?

For standard ottomans, a tray between 18 and 24 inches wide provides sufficient surface area without overhang; the Aldo Tray's 20-inch width suits most coffee table and ottoman dimensions.

What is the difference between a decorative tray and a serving tray?

While serving trays prioritize function and durability for food transport, decorative trays like the Aldo feature premium materials and artisan finishes that make them suitable as permanent display pieces even when not actively serving.

Can you use a decorative tray on an upholstered ottoman?

Yes, a decorative tray creates a stable, flat surface on soft upholstered ottomans, preventing drinks from tipping and providing a base for styling accessories.
