Why You Should Use Trays In Your Home Decor
DIY serving and decorative trays
Even though our favorite trays here are inexpensive, if you have something specific in mind, DIYing is a great option! Try semi-handmade by updating a plain tray, or build it from scratch.

And, don’t forget the kiddos! They’ll love one of these.
Lorene has been behind the scenes here at Remodelaholic for more than a decade! She believes that planning projects and actually completing them are two different hobbies, but that doesn't stop her from planning at least a dozen projects at any given time. She spends her free time creating memories with her husband and 5 kids, traveling as far as she can afford, and partaking of books in any form available.
I love a wall of decorative plates of trays
Agreed! Thanks for the comment, Mary!
Looking for a DIY tutorial on refurbishing a tray I gave that has damage in the paper surface inside. Still good otherwise. Just need to change the bottom surface. How?
Hi Linda,
I’d suggest resurfacing like we did for our trays here: https://www.remodelaholic.com/easy-diy-patterned-trays-free-agate-printables/
