Decorative Trays & Bowls

Modern Decorative Trays & Bowls

When the table is set but something still feels missing, consider elevating the look with a modern centerpiece bowl or decorative tray. Typically oversized, both bring a finishing touch to dining and kitchen tables, countertops and sideboards. In the living room, accent bare surfaces with a large decorative bowl filled with seasonal potpourri or style a sleek tray with candles and sculptural objects for a layered look. Choose materials that echo your space—a brass tray for art deco vibes, a wood decorative bowl for rustic charm. Then, group with other accents in the same finish for a cohesive, collected feel.

For dinner parties and holiday gatherings, make a dramatic black bowl or tray the focal point. Leave it empty to highlight its craftsmanship, or fill it with festive details—unshelled nuts, ornaments, flameless candles. Prefer an organic look? A glass bowl or tray with polished stones and air plants adds natural texture. Wicker or wire pieces double as chic fruit holders, keeping healthy snacks within reach. And for a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift, a decorative tray or centerpiece bowl helps the recipient instantly style their new home with personality and ease.
