How To Design Your Own Coffee Table Tray
There's nothing like adding a cozy candle or stylish book to your lonely coffee table. We aren't, however, so fond of removing the decor once we want to use it as a—you guessed it—coffee table.
Luckily, you don't have to compromise! One of our favourite new decor hacks is adding a tray to our coffee table. Load the tray up with your favourite vases, candles, and seasonal decorations, then easily slide it away when it's time to move your dinner party to the living room.
Here's some inspiration and our handy formula to create your own coffee table tray (and don't miss out on our recommendations!).
