A serving tray moves drinks, cups, a teapot or a light meal from kitchen to table in one trip, and holds a tidy grouping once set down; wood, metal and lacquer each suit the job. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep serving trays, and a round tray is a natural first shape.
What features make a serving tray comfortable to carry?
A serving tray is comfortable to carry when it has proper handles or cut-outs, a rim to stop things sliding and a size that clears your doorways; an oval tray often holds more than it looks. Lift it empty first, since a heavy tray tires the arms once loaded.
How do I style a serving tray between meals?
Between meals a serving tray earns its keep with a low stack of books, a candle and a small vase, or left empty as a graphic shape on an ottoman, alongside our cowhide serving trays. Keep the grouping low so it does not block the view across a room.
How do different serving tray materials handle spills?
Serving tray materials handle spills differently: sealed wood and lacquer wipe down but dislike standing water, metal takes moisture in its stride, and rattan needs drying promptly; keep a bottle opener and a cloth on the bar for the inevitable. Wipe any tray and dry it before storing.
