The solution is to add a round ottoman tray to your living room. These trays will hold a plethora of items such as books, plants, decorations, teapots, and mugs. You won’t need to worry about your treasures falling to the floor.
In addition, the round ottoman tray adds a delightful accent. By varying the style of your tray, you can personalize the space to display your individual style.
