Hamptons Trays

Decorative trays often come in natural or glossy finishes, e.g. rattan, mother-of-pearl, lacquer or polished silver. These materials introduce texture and subtle shine. For instance, a white lacquer tray on a coffee table can hold books and shells; a mother-of-pearl inlay tray adds a hint of elegance to a dresser. Style My Home’s collections include mother-of-pearl and silver, highlighting the preference for “luxurious materials” even in trays.

On coffee tables, use trays to corral candles, books or a vase of flowers. In dining, white or pale ceramic dishes fit Hamptons’ tableware theme (think simple, classic plates without loud prints). Place tableware on the dining table layered with natural mats. On side consoles, use a decorative tray under a lamp or under barware. The idea is functional organization with style: trays keep items neat while reflecting the neutral palette.

Hamptons style favors white or blue-and-white dishes, for example, plain white porcelain or stripes. This is similar to coastal kitchens: clean, timeless dinnerware. Accent pieces like light blue glassware or linen napkins in navy can be added. Overall, table settings should look fresh and uncluttered. Like furniture, Hamptons tableware is elegant yet practical, echoing the relaxed yet upscale feel of the home (neutral colours, quality materials).
