Round Tray Décor Styling Ideas
A stunning centerpiece starts with the right curating of elements, whether it’s for a coffee table, a countertop, or anything in between. The easiest starting piece for any centerpiece is a round tray to create vignettes that look put-together.
Selecting the perfect round tray to suit your décor is a matter of style preference. For farmhouse interiors, you will see lots of pieces that have a rustic wood aesthetic and clay textures that add to the shabby chic character of the space. Timeless items such as hardcover books, vintage clocks, floral arrangements, candles, and wooden beads are just some of the staples that you can use to style your round tray. One of the great things about having a tray is that you can easily change out the décor to update the look of your home depending on the season and occasion. Bright florals and animal figurines are perfect to usher in the arrival of spring. Once fall weather arrives, you can switch out the florals for wheat or pampas grass combined with pumpkins. Flocked trees, reindeer, and mercury glass Christmas trees will transition your space from autumn to winter. So, grab your best round tray and get inspired from these 35 round tray décor ideas.

When it comes to creating a chic minimalist aesthetic, less is more. This coffee table vignette offers the perfect inspiration. The round tray, acting as the centerpiece, is an exercise in simplicity and elegance. It features just three items: a large textured vase filled with cotton branches, an incense holder, and a collection of wooden coasters. This tray creates a perfect asymmetrical composition when paired with the wooden beads in a clay bowl atop a book.

This minimalist approach to décor is a testament to the versatility of a tray as an accessory, as noted by interior designer Annuska Menoita. “A tray serves as a versatile accessory, merging form and function seamlessly,” she says. “In minimalist settings, it acts as a clutter-free focal point for seasonal decor or room accessories. Additionally, it can effortlessly transform into a serving tray for hors d’oeuvres, enhancing social gatherings around the sofa with friends. This dual-purpose functionality adds both style and practicality to your living space.”
