Sprucing up your coffee table with accessories can help you create a stylish and organized look for your home. Adding a tray is an ideal way to add personality to an otherwise empty coffee table. Here are some ideas of what to put in a tray on your coffee table to complete the look of your living room.
Books
Add a stack of interesting books that are easy to reach. A mix of colours, shapes and sizes will add texture and interest to the tray. Choose books with beautiful covers that coordinate with your room decor. Or, display special books or photos make the perfect conversation piece such as those of family vacations.
Candles
Tealight or larger candles are perfect for adding warm ambiance to the living room. Candles can be a beautiful centrepiece placed in the middle of the tray, or displayed as an artful grouping. Opt for simple wooden or glass containers with different shapes and textures or unique candle holders to add an extra level of decoration.
Candle Holders
Glass or metallic candle holders make beautiful and functional decorative objects. They are great for adding hints of colour and sparkle to the tray. Choose a size and style that will fit with the look you are going for, and match the colour and size of the other objects on the tray.
Vases
Vintage vases will add a classic and elegant look to your trays. With different shapes and sizes available, you can choose the one that fits your style. Place a couple of stems of fresh flowers in the vase for a beautiful and fragrant touch.
Greenery & Plants

Accessories
Lastly, don’t forget to add some accessories to your tray. You can include items such as coasters, perfume bottles, trinkets or other items that will help keep your tabletop organised. Be mindful of the amount of objects you include in the tray. Avoid overcrowding the surface and opt for a balanced mix of elements.
