Serves You Right: Trays to Turn a Small Space into a Beautiful Place

by Vanessa Quirk

One should never have to sacrifice style for practicality, which is why we’re adoring this genius idea – ripped straight from the pages of Lonny Magazine.

As any city dweller knows, there’s nothing worse in an already teeny tiny kitchen than a large, unsightly dish rack. Luckily, the folks at Lonny have come up with the brilliant solution of placing a beautiful (and, of course, durable) serving tray underneath your drying dishes. Check out the beautifully detailed suzani tray from Decorative Things ($70) that pulls together this bold kitchen’s red walls and green glassware. It’s a brilliantly simple idea that transforms your drying dishes from eye sores to chic design accents.

We’re so enamored with this idea, that we’ve found some gorgeous and water-resistant serving trays from BurkeDecor to help you put this design plan into action! Enjoy!

The Raja Tray is an adorable and exotic touch for any kitchen. Available in 16″ x 22″ size. $108.

This 16″ x 22″ Surya Serving Tray is a laminated fabric tray that adds a perfect punch of sunny color. $100.

This 16″ x 22″ laminated fabric Botanical Tray has a naturalistic pattern and a rich, purple color for a subtly romantic look. $112.
