4 Seasons, 4 Styles: Styling A Coffee Table Tray Based On The Time Of Year
Styling your home is much more than just luxury cushions on the couch and a few vases with pampas grass; decor comes in multiple forms and in almost every area of our homes. It has become increasingly popular to decorate tables with items that go beyond function; no longer will they be decorated with remotes, drink stains, and clutter. Each season is now ready for its very own showstopping collection that combines both practicality and modern decor and the best part is, it’s as easy as having one of our coffee table trays.
What Is A Coffee Table Tray?
Before you begin styling a coffee table tray, you must first understand its function. The tray itself can be used for multiple things, such as a placement for your coffee in the morning, an area to hold some decorative pieces, keeping your magazines and books together and other small items you want to be kept safe on the coffee table.
Styling a coffee table tray can completely depend on your personal preferences and how you wish to use it. Here at Camden & Co., we specialise in the world of decor and all the vast ways you can style every element of your beautiful home. That is why we have put together 4 perfect ways to style your coffee table tray for the 4 seasons of the year.
Winter Coffee Table Tray
As the start of the year is cold, what better way to start with how to style your winter edition of a coffee table tray? Begin with your chosen tray, preferably one that goes with the aesthetic of the room, but when in doubt, go for a black leather, wooden, or neutral colour.
Now that you have the base ready, you want to design it with elements that resonate with the season. As winter is cold and is during the festive periods, you might want to incorporate those elements. This could include a festive-scented candle with a wholesome and classic winter smell.
Winter is also the season where curling on the couch with a good book and a throw is in fashion. You could incorporate your current reading rotation stacked on the tray for both design and accessibility.
There you have it, a simple yet cosy duo for styling your coffee table tray!
Spring Coffee Table Tray
The days are becoming brighter and longer but also the birds are tweeting and flowers are blooming. Spring is such a colourful season, providing the perfect opportunity to mix things up and add elements of sweetness to the table. Here you could add a miniature vase with a flower to breathe some life into your space.
In addition, you could style a coffee table tray by adding one or more of our elegant diffusers with a fresh floral scent to fill the room. While this might not seem like a lot, you have left just enough room for your early morning coffee and herbal teas. As spring approaches, you are filled with more energy and tend to wake up much earlier. It feels like every morning you have enough time for a calm and relaxing drink and having that room in the tray is perfect.
