“Tea Madame? Only on a Tray” The Ultimate Interior Design Trend

Trays, who would haver think they would become one of the most wanted interior design trends? They do make us remember of those creepy butlers when we played Cluedo but yet, they also have a “5 o´clock tea” traditional style.

So how is it going to be? Creepy, traditional or smart chic? You decide!

Trays used to be the forgotten ones and now, out of a sudden, they became the focal point of the living room design trends. Truth be told, they do look amazing with everything, from candles to teacups, this is one of the most versatile interior design accessories and besides, it has an actual function!

Now you don’t have to go to your friend’s house and hope to live in such a fancy house, yours can be fancy too! Just take a look at our living room design inspirations below and you’ll be the “Master of Trays” in no time!

This trend only has advantages, no really I’m serious! You can go with a more classic look and add a silver tray to your center table, but just because you have a more modern house, it doesn’t mean they won’t look stunning in your place too!

You can always style it up with some flowers (they have been on the spotlight for quite a while now) and some other table decoration items you might like. Don’t worry, either ways it will look super creative and chic!

If you have a more classic living room, don’t be sad, you can also use trays and they will look equally cool! A “We will always have Paris” kind of table decoration is the perfect accessory to your living room. As you probably already noticed, I’m a hopeless romantic, so this tray just got me saying “Ahhh”.
