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.
