How To Style A Tiered Tray

Tiered trays can be really intimidating and difficult – at least they are for me! I bought this little galvanized metal one at Target right after Christmas and I didn’t pull it out until I decorated for Easter.

It took me several tries and lots of rearranging, but I finally got it the way I wanted for spring – and I’ve completed another one for summer!

Here are a few things that help me with this process:

• search #tieredtrays or similar hashtags on Instagram for inspiration
• shop your home for little things in a variety of textures and finishes
• lay them out and decide if they look good together as a group – do the colors look nice together? are there enough textures?
• take everything out of the tray and start with a clean slate
• try to arrange similar colors or textures in a diagonal (watch my video below to see what I mean)
• don’t be discouraged if you don’t get it right on the first try!

I mixed new items with thrifted pieces, functional items and few succulents.
