We are fans of the versatility of a clear acrylic tray. But, where to start? A blank slate can be daunting. We love a simple, modern and polished acrylic tray as it meets many of our decorating needs. Here are three tips for styling the versatile piece.

If you’re struggling to stage your coffee table, just go with the basics: a vase of fresh blooms, candle and one of your favorite accent pieces. The clean look is perfect for the minimalist aesthetic—whether that was your intent or not. We love these fresh blooms from UrbanStems and a cute little “Hello” from West Elm.

2. Make an instant party. No space for a barcart? A cocktail tray will do nicely. These 12×12 acrylic trays are perfect for a cocktail set, shaker, some coasters, and a cute ice bin. You can move the party from the livingroom to the patio when the hour gets late.

3. Create a desk organizer. We love staying organized. Use an acrylic tray to organize magazines, post-it notes and office supplies for a quick, chic result.2hiXrfIUo3LNf9hN1r-jCOpoEbgOyY31StwhjMCw9g4Are you in Washington, DC? If so, you’re in luck!
