I’m loving my new series, Product + Inspiration and I’m really excited to bring you this latest post which marries my love of vintage, brass and trays.
Brass trays are always on my radar whenever I’m antique shopping and in my book they are one of the best values when it comes to vintage decor. Trays in general top the list of practical and versatile accessories and the list of decorating ideas using trays is endless.
My favorite brass tray style is faux bamboo because of the classic details but if that look is not for you, there are lots of other styles you might run across.
Let me inspire you…
Nothing is more classic than cocktails served on a brass tray or a bar cart styled with a brass tray.
Trays are easy to incorporate into a gallery wall display and a brass tray will add a touch of sparkle within the mix.
What girl doesn’t love a beautiful vanity? Using a brass tray to hold personal items is an easy way to add elegance and keep items organized.
Unlike silver plated pieces, brass is ideal to accessorize a bathroom with because it won’t easily tarnish from the humidity and heat.
Brass trays add shape and dimension when used to accessorize tabletops…
and they make a pretty accent on a nightstand.
One of my favorite ways to accessorize with brass trays is to place them on an oversized ottoman.
How about using a brass tray on your desk to hold chic office supplies?
Whenever I’m styling a bookcase, I always look to incorporate items in different shapes, materials and finishes–brass trays are ideal for layering at the back of a shelf.
If you happen to have a closet as gorgeous as this, using a brass tray to hold jewels and accessories just adds to the glamour of it all.
Brass trays are very in demand these days and now that I’ve got you craving one, let’s go shopping on Etsy:
Hexagon Tray–$29
Square Tray–$58

I will have my eyes peeled for some brass trays for you. I have lots of silver trays but I’m going to add a few brass ones to the line. Thanks for sharing.
