Decorative Trays + Boxes

A tray is one of the most effective organizing tools in a room — and one of the simplest styling solutions for a surface that feels cluttered. At Lulu and Georgia, the decorative trays and boxes collection brings together lacquer and painted trays, wood and reclaimed trays, marble and stone options, woven and rattan styles, and lidded storage boxes in a range of sizes and materials. Objects chosen for visual quality as much as utility — because a tray that looks considered makes whatever sits on it look more considered too.

What decorative trays and boxes does Lulu and Georgia carry?

The collection includes rectangular and round lacquer trays in solid colors and painted finishes, wood trays in natural and stained finishes, stone and marble serving and display trays, woven rattan and seagrass trays, nesting tray sets, and lidded storage boxes in wood, leather, and woven materials. Sizes span small tabletop and vanity trays to large bar cart and coffee table formats. Many styles are available in sets of two or three nesting sizes.

How do I use a tray to style a coffee table?

Place a tray in the center of the coffee table and arrange objects within it — a candle, a small stack of books, a vase or decorative object. The tray creates a defined zone that reads as a curated vignette rather than a random accumulation. Keep the tray contents to three or four objects maximum; edit actively. Leave the outer area of the coffee table available for actual use: drinks, remotes, reading material. The tray does the decorative work; the rest of the table does the functional work.

What is the best tray material for a bar cart?

Lacquer and metal trays are the most practical for bar cart use — easy to wipe clean, resistant to moisture rings and spirit spills, and available in finishes that work with brass and steel bar cart materials. Wood and marble trays are beautiful but more susceptible to moisture damage over time. For a bar cart used regularly, a lacquer or powder-coated metal tray with a lip to prevent bottles from sliding is the most functional choice. Style considerations come second to stability and cleanability in high-use applications.
